Nick Fortes (NA) Under 0.5 Hits (-105)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Rays take on the Guardians, eyes will be on Nick Fortes, but betting on him to notch even a single hit might be a stretch. The Guardians have been a tough matchup for hitters lately, especially with their stellar pitching staff that boasts a team ERA among the league's best. Fortes, while a promising talent, has struggled against right-handed pitching, and with Cleveland sending out a solid arm, he’ll likely find it difficult to make solid contact.
Moreover, recent trends show that the Rays' offense has been inconsistent, often relying on power rather than consistent hitting. The odds seem to favor the under here, reflecting his recent performance dips. With Fortes managing only a handful of hits in his past few games, the under on 0.5 hits feels like a smart play, especially given the Guardians’ ability to stifle opposing bats. Expect a quiet night at the plate for him.
