Spencer Steer (CIN) Under 1.5 Hits (-370)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Reds square off against the Giants, all eyes will be on Spencer Steer, but backing him to go over 1.5 hits might be a stretch. The Giants’ pitching staff has been a tough puzzle to crack, especially with their recent form—posting a solid 3.30 ERA over the last few weeks. With their starters limiting opposing hitters effectively, Steer could find himself battling against some high-octane arms.
Moreover, Steer has struggled against right-handed pitching this season, hitting a modest .220. Given the Giants' righty-heavy rotation and his recent trends, it’s reasonable to expect him to remain under the 1.5 hits mark. The Reds' lineup can be potent, but facing a disciplined pitching approach often leads to fewer opportunities to string hits together. Sometimes, less is more, and in this case, it seems the smart play is to lean toward the under for Steer.
