Guy Boston recommends betting Nelson Cruz under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBI against a difficult pitching matchup with Bowden Francis. Cruz has yet to exceed this total in the current season, and Francis notably limited right-handed hitters to an opponent batting average of .194 last year. Francis consistently throws effective high-zone fastballs, a pitch expected to neutralize Cruz's offensive strength. Given Francis's skillset and Cruz's sluggish start, Guy Boston identifies robust value in taking the under on Cruz's HRR prop.
