Nolan Gorman under 0.5 hitsL

Sep 9, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 2.0000

Read original reasoning

Gorman is hitting .182 on the season with a .261 OBP — severe contact struggles across a 272 PA sample. His vR OPS is 0.598, weak against right-handed pitching, and Tidwell is a RHP. Career vs Tidwell: 0-for-2 in 2025 (small sample, but directionally consistent with his season-long struggles). The market posts the under at +100, treating this as a coin flip — given Gorman's .182 season average, the under carries the statistical edge.

Nolan Gorman under 0.5 hitsW

Sep 7, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 1.8900

Read original reasoning

Gorman is 0-for-9 career vs Logan Webb (.000 AVG, 0.000 OPS) across three seasons (2023: 6 PA 0.000 OPS, 2024: 3 PA 0.000 OPS). One of the most lopsided BvP matchups in this slate. His 2026 season line reinforces this — .186 AVG with a .264 OBP, already one of the weakest bats in the Cardinals lineup. Webb owns this matchup completely and consistently. Under 0.5 hits at -112 is clean value on a sustained multi-year pattern.

Jun 12, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 1.8300

Read original reasoning

Gorman is ice cold: .194/.279/.318 on the season and an L7d OPS of just 0.167 — essentially hitless over the last week. vR OPS of 0.614 confirms he struggles against right-handed pitching, and today's opponent Ryan is a RHP in peak form. Career vs Ryan: 3 PA, .000 AVG, 0.667 OPS — no hits in limited looks. With Ryan deploying elevated secondary usage (43.6%) and sitting at 9.93 K/9, Gorman's poor contact skills and recent form make Under 0.5 hits a data-backed play at -120.
