Jonathan Aranda Over 1.5 Total Bases
Tampa Bay Rays vs Detroit Tigers 6:40 PM EST


Jonathan Aranda has been one of the breakout stars of the 2025 season, emerging as a key offensive force for the Tampa Bay Rays. Over 278 at-bats, he’s slashing an impressive .320/.401/.486 with an .887 OPS, placing him among the American League leaders in batting average (3rd), on-base percentage (2nd), and OPS (5th). He’s tallied 10 home runs, 45 RBIs, 43 runs scored, 16 doubles, and drawn 32 walks while striking out 74 times. His ability to reach base and generate consistent power has made him a mainstay in the heart of the Rays’ lineup. Aranda has been on fire this season. He’ll be up against lefty Dietrich Enns, who has a 7.00 ERA. I expect Aranda to continue his success and at least log 2 bases in this one.

Romy Gonzalez Over 1.5 Total Bases
Colorado Rockies vs Boston Red Sox 7:10 PM EST


Romy Gonzalez has been a reliable contributor to the Boston Red Sox’s offense in the 2025 season. Through 29 games, he has posted a .304 batting average with a .343 on-base percentage and a .467 slugging percentage, resulting in an .811 OPS. Over 92 at-bats, he has accumulated 28 hits, including 10 doubles and 1 home run, while driving in 15 RBIs and scoring 14 runs. His plate discipline has been solid, with 5 walks and 22 strikeouts, and he has stolen 3 bases without being caught. He’s logged 2+ total bases in 5 of his last 6 starts, and in this one, he’s going against the horrific pitching staff of the Colorado Rockies.

Cal Raleigh Over 1.5 Total Bases
Seattle Mariners vs New York Yankees 7:05 PM EST


Cal Raleigh is having a historic 2025 season as the starting catcher for the Seattle Mariners. Through 312 at-bats, he’s slashing .272/.383/.641 with 33 home runs, 71 RBIs, and a 1.024 OPS, ranking him among the league leaders in power production and on-base skills. His 33 homers currently lead all of Major League Baseball, surpassing stars like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. Raleigh is in a bit of a slump right now, but I love him to bounce back in this spot. He’ll be back in a hitter friendly ballpark and will be going against Will Warren whose one of the weaker guys in this Yankees rotation.
