Spencer Steer (CIN) Under 1.5 Hits (-244)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Rockies gear up to face the Reds, all eyes should be on Spencer Steer’s hitting performance. While he’s shown flashes of brilliance this season, the matchup against Colorado's pitchers could stifle his production. The Rockies have been surprisingly effective at home, boasting a solid 3.80 ERA in Coors Field, which tends to keep hitters in check.
Moreover, Steer has struggled against right-handed pitching lately, batting just .220 in his last 10 games against them. Given that his current projection sits at just 0.83 hits, the odds of him reaching that 1.5 mark look slim. Combine that with the Rockies’ recent trend of shutting down opposing hitters, and it becomes clear: betting on Steer to stay under 1.5 hits is a savvy play to consider as the teams clash in this intriguing matchup.

As the Cincinnati Reds roll into Colorado, this matchup presents a ripe opportunity on the run line.
