Guy Boston played Ke'Bryan Hayes over 0.5 total bases at –180 on DraftKings. Hayes has cashed this line in 9 of his last 10 games (1.3 TB per game) and in 20 of 29 overall this season (69%). He has also cleared it in 10 of his past 11 contests and went 4-for-6 on the prop against San Diego last year. Boston stressed the platoon edge: Hayes’ average, ISO, and extra-base-hit rate all jump versus right-handers, while Dylan Cease’s ERA and batting average allowed spike against right-handed bats. A simple single will pay the ticket, and the recent form plus the pitcher split convinced Boston this is a reliable second leg.

B Wade advised playing Ke'Bryan Hayes to record a single rather than just a hit because Hayes has singled in 10 straight games—every hit during that streak has been a one-bagger. Books are hanging a hit line around –180 yet listing the single at roughly –125, giving bettors much better juice on what Hayes actually does. He draws Colin Rea, and although the Pirate third-baseman is only 1-for-3 off Rea, he owns a .269 average versus right-handers compared with his overall .245 mark, reinforcing the edge.

Guy Boston endorsed betting the under on 1.5 hits, runs, RBIs for Ke'Bryan Hayes against the Washington Nationals. Hayes has hit this under in 4 of his last 5 games (80%) with only 1.2 hits, runs, RBIs per game in that span. For 2025 so far, he's hit the under in 9 of 17 games (53%). Historically against the Nationals, Hayes stayed under this prop 4 out of his last 6 times (67%). His current batting average (.203 overall and .220 vs righties) is concerningly low, paired with a weak 83.2 wRC+ against RHP. On the mound opposing him, Trevor Williams has solid splits against right-handed hitters (.192 batting average allowed, 1.86 wOBA, 4.50 ERA), much improved compared to his overall numbers. The advantageous matchup stats and Hayes's recent poor form make the under an attractive option, particularly at -105 odds.
