Prediction

Considering Gleyber Torres' recent form and the challenging matchup against Zack Wheeler, betting on Torres to record a hit at -150.0 odds seems to be a solid choice. Wheeler's dominance on the mound makes it tough for Torres to go over 1.5 total bases or to score runs and RBIs. Therefore, the safest bet here is for Torres to get at least one hit in the game.
