Thomas is batting .184 this season with a .541 OPS vs RHP (Chandler). L7d OPS of 0.000 — hitless over his last 7 days. His season-long contact struggles (.220 OBP, .345 SLG) against right-handed pitching align with an under. Even with Chandler's inflated ERA, his 8.38 K/9 in 2026 suppresses contact. Under at +104 provides slight overlay vs the market's near-coin-flip price.

Read original reasoning

Career vs Michael King: 1 PA, .000 AVG (2025 only). Current 2026 season: .197/.240/.394 — one of the lowest batting averages in the ARI lineup. L28d OPS is 0.627, and Thomas is a weak contact hitter vs RHP (0.592 vR OPS). King's 2.28 ERA and career domination of ARI hitters (0 ER in 11.2 IP in 2024) favor suppression. A .197 hitter facing an elite starter carries approximately 40-42% chance of going hitless in a game; the market's +178 implying only 36% undervalues this under.
