Spencer Steer (CIN) Under 1.5 Singles (-714)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
When the Cincinnati Reds host the San Francisco Giants, keep a close eye on Spencer Steer’s singles production, particularly with the line set at 1.5. Steer has been finding it tough at the plate lately, struggling against left-handed pitching, which the Giants are likely to trot out against him. His recent trends show a dip in contact rates, and with a model prediction of just 0.39 singles, expectations for him to exceed that mark seem overly optimistic.
Moreover, the Giants' bullpen has been surprisingly effective at stifling opponent offenses, limiting batting averages and squashing rallies. With Steer’s recent performances and the Giants’ pitching prowess, betting the under on his singles seems like a smart play. As the Reds look to find their footing, Steer might just be caught in the crossfire of a tough matchup, making the under 1.5 an enticing wager here.
