JJ Bleday (NA) Under 1.5 Hits (-244)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Rockies gear up to face the Reds, all eyes will be on JJ Bleday, but betting on him to exceed 1.5 hits might be more optimistic than wise. First off, Bleday has been in a bit of a funk lately, struggling to find his timing at the plate. His recent performance suggests he’s been more of a swing and miss guy, lacking consistent contact, especially against left-handed pitching.
Looking at the matchup, Colorado’s home park typically favors hitters, yet the Reds’ pitching staff has shown surprising resilience, particularly with their lefty options. Plus, Rockies’ pitching has been stingy lately, further complicating Bleday’s chances for multiple hits. With an implied probability of nearly 71% for this under, it’s hard to ignore the trends. Bleday hitting less than 1.5 times feels like a smart play as he faces a tough day at the dish.
