Cincinnati Reds vs Chicago Cubs: Tyrone Taylor Under 1.5 Batter - Total Bases (-179)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Great American Ball Park is known for home runs, but Tyrone Taylor isn't hitting them right now. He's been struggling lately, averaging zero hits in his last three games and getting only a few strikeouts. This means he's not making solid contact at the plate, which is a big red flag for our bet.
The Chicago Cubs have been uneven, winning four of their last six but losing four straight on the road. Their starting pitcher is giving up runs at a higher rate than average, but with Taylor's current form, it seems tough for him to reach even 1.5 total bases. Betting on him to stay under this mark feels smart given how things are going.
