Pick #1: Spencer Steer O 1.5 total bases (+135 draftkings)
With Spencer Steer's recent hot streak, it's time to smash that over 1.5 batting total bases line in the upcoming Cincinnati vs. Milwaukee MLB game.
The Minnesota Twins are probably regretting their decision to trade Spencer Steer for Tyler Mahle last summer. While Mahle's time with the Twins was plagued by arm problems, Steer has been crushing it with the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old phenom was recently named the National League Rookie of the Month after finishing May with a .318 batting average, six home runs, eight doubles, a triple, and 19 RBIs. And with the Reds facing off against the Milwaukee Brewers in an upcoming MLB game, savvy bettors should be eyeing that over 1.5 batting total bases line for Steer.
Let's dive into the numbers, shall we? This season, Steer is averaging 1.89 batting total bases, with a slightly higher average on the road (1.96) compared to home games (1.81). That bodes well for this matchup against the Brewers, as the game will take place in Milwaukee. Additionally, Steer has consistently performed above the 1.5 batting total bases line in recent games. Over the last 20 games, he's averaged 2.25 batting total bases and has had more than 1.5 batting total bases in 12 of those games. And it gets even better when you narrow the sample size: Over the last 10 games, Steer is averaging a whopping 2.8 batting total bases, crossing the 1.5 line in 8 of those games.
Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: "But what about those two games against Milwaukee earlier this season where Steer only averaged 1.0 batting total bases?" Sure, that's a valid concern. But let's not forget that Steer's performance has been trending upward over the last 10 and 5 games, indicating that he's been steadily improving and adapting to the big leagues. Plus, with the way Steer has been swinging the bat lately, it's hard to imagine him not turning things around against the Brewers this time.
Not only is Steer generating buzz with his recent performances, but the Reds also have another gem in their possession – Christian Encarnacion-Strand. The Twins traded him along with Steer in the Mahle deal, and Encarnacion-Strand is currently dominating at Triple-A Louisville, slashing .333/.388/.693 with 14 homers and 37 RBIs in 37 games. While he's not currently in the big leagues, the Reds' future looks bright with both Steer and Encarnacion-Strand in their ranks.
With Mahle's time as a Twin coming to an end as he becomes an unrestricted free agent this winter, the Twins' front office must be kicking themselves for letting Steer and Encarnacion-Strand slip through their fingers. But as a bettor, you can take advantage of this situation by backing Steer to continue his hot streak and surpass the 1.5 batting total bases line against the Brewers.
Spencer Steer's recent performances, combined with his upward trend and slightly better road-game stats, make a compelling case for choosing the over on 1.5 batting total bases in the Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers matchup. Don't miss out on this opportunity to cash in on Steer's rising star – after all, it's not just the Twins who can benefit from his talent, but smart bettors like you as well.
