Lucy Burdge - Aug 18, 2022, 11:58am EDTHere are three of the bets at DraftKings that I love for tonight's games. BetQL subscribers can see all of our best bets with star ratings for every game. Join BetQL for free and see all of our best bets across all sports!
Josh Winckowski, Red Sox Over 3.5 Ks (-110) at Pirates
Winckowski hit the over two starts ago with four strikeouts and has hit it in six of his 11 starts this season. He's had four strikeouts in four of those starts and five and six in the others. But the big reason I would take the over here is the Pirates are third in the league in team total strikeouts with 1,091 behind the Braves and the Angels. I think Winckowski can take advantage of Pittsburgh's tendency to strike out tonight in this series finale against the Pirates.

Juan Soto, Padres Over 0.5 Hits (-180) vs. Nationals
Soto has four hits in his last five games, eight hits in his last seven games and 16 hits, with one home run, in his last 15 games, so I think there's a great chance he can get one in this game against his former Nationals team. And in eight at-bats up against his friend and former teammate Anibal Sanchez, Soto does have one hit. So I'm all-in on him to get another one tonight.
Eric Hosmer, Red Sox Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135) at Pirates
Hosmer has been kind of on fire lately, as he has four hits in his last five games. But the big thing working for Hosmer here is J.T. Brubaker is starting for the Pirates tonight. In seven at-bats against him, Hosmer has three hits, including a double and a home run. The majority of his knocks against Brubaker have been extra-base hits, so I think he can go over on these total bases tonight.
