Ketel Marte Over 1.5 Total Bases
Miami Marlins vs Arizona D-Backs 9:40 PM EST

Marte has slashed an excellent .295/.418/.564 through 45 games, with 46 hits in 156 at‑bats, including 6 doubles, 12 home runs, and 23 RBIs. Splits show he’s more productive against righties (.310/.424/.662) than lefties (.237/.356/.368), though he still gets on base well against both. Alcantara takes the mound for the Marlins, and he’s been awful this season, coming into this one with a 6.69 ERA. Marte has logged 4+ bases in 5 of his last 7 starts. He’s been seeing the ball very well, and I expect him to exploit Alcantara and this Marlins bullpen on Saturday.

CJ Abrams Over 1.5 Total Bases
Washington Nationals vs Los Angeles Angels 9:38 PM EST

CJ Abrams has been a dynamic force atop the Nationals’ lineup this season, demonstrating both power and speed. Over approximately 269 plate appearances, he’s slashed .283/.355/.483, combining for an .843 OPS. Abrams is thriving more against right-handers (.310/.424/.662) than lefties (.237/.356/.368). Abrams is delivering All–Star–caliber production in 2025, and I expect him to maintain this level of production against Kyle Hendricks, who is well past his prime. Hendricks comes in with a 4.83 ERA, and after Hendricks, Abrams will go against the Angels’ bullpen, which is one of the worst in the league. 

Elly De La Cruz Over 1.5 Total Bases
San Diego Padres vs Cincinnati Reds 7:10 PM EST

Elly De La Cruz is putting together an electrifying 2025 season for the Cincinnati Reds, showcasing his rare blend of power, speed, and improving plate discipline. Through 77 games, he’s slashing .265/.344/.493 with 17 home runs, 52 RBIs, 59 runs scored, and 21 stolen bases, along with 34 walks and 86 strikeouts, resulting in an impressive .838 OPS. While his overall numbers are solid, his recent performance has been exceptional. over his last 30 games, he’s batting .336 with a .699 slugging percentage, and in the last 15 games, he’s been even hotter, slashing .371/.409/.774. I expect his success to continue going against Vasquez, who’s been inconsistent this season. Vasquez has made most of his starts in a pitcher-friendly ballpark, but now he has to pitch in Great American Ballpark, which is one of the more hitter-friendly ballparks in the league. Expect De La Cruz to have a field day.
