July 9, 2025 at 07:10 PM EDT
The Line: Betting Odds: Boston -1.5 — Over/Under: +9
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. He’s been one of Boston’s most consistent batters as of late, and now he’ll face Senzatela for the Rockies, who’s 3-12 with a 6.57 ERA.
Bobby Witt Jr Over 1.5 Total Bases
Pittsburgh Pirates vs Kansas City Royals 7:40 PM EST
Bobby Witt Jr. has been a consistent and dynamic force for the Kansas City Royals throughout the 2025 season. Over 86 games and 339 at-bats, he is slashing .286/.338/.490 with a .827 OPS. He’s recorded 11 home runs, 45 RBIs, 48 runs scored, and 22 stolen bases while being caught six times. Witt has shown strong situational hitting, especially with runners in scoring position, where he’s batting .300 with a .394 on-base percentage and .540 slugging. He’s also been particularly effective when leading off innings, hitting .344 with a .417 OBP. He’ll be up against lefty Bailey Falter and against left-handed pitching, Witt is hitting an impressive .325/.391/.525. He had a great performance in game 1 of this series, and I think he continues that success in this one.
Lawrence Butler Over 1.5 Total Bases
Atlanta Braves vs Athletics 10:05 PM EST
Lawrence Butler has emerged as a promising young bat for the Oakland Athletics in 2025. Over 87 games and 344 at‑bats, he’s slashing .253/.322/.430 for a .752 OPS, with 11 home runs, 36 RBI, 51 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases. Butler shows marked improvement at home, batting .268 with six home runs and a .337 OBP across 164 at-bats. Over the last 30 days, he’s hit .239/.305/.368 with two homers and nine RBI’s . He’ll be matched up with one of the coldest pitchers in the MLB right now in Bryce Elder. I wouldn’t be surprised if Butler clears this total base line in his first at-bat.
