The Line: Betting Odds: Baltimore +1.5 — Over/Under: +9.5
Francisco Lindor Over 1.5 Total Bases
New York Mets vs Baltimore Orioles 7:05 PM EST
Francisco Lindor has delivered a strong first half of the 2025 season for the Mets, appearing in 89 games with 356 at-bats and batting .261/.333/.452 for a solid .785 OPS. He’s scored 57 runs, collected 93 hits (including 17 doubles and 17 home runs), and driven in 49 RBIs while drawing 31 walks and stealing 14 bases. With 73 strikeouts, his strikeout rate remains moderate, and his on-base percentage shows improved plate discipline. As a switch-hitter, Lindor maintains consistency against both lefties and righties, hitting .267/.308/.500 against left-handed pitching and .287/.369/.489 against right-handers. Lindor has been quiet as of late but with his talent, I expect a bounce back performance any game now. He’ll be facing Sugano who’s currently in his worst stretch of the season. Expect Lindor to take advantage of that and this Orioles bullpen.

Manny Machado Over 1.5 Total Bases
San Diego Padres vs Arizona D-Backs 9:40 PM EST
Manny Machado has enjoyed a powerful first half of the 2025 season with the Padres, entering July as one of the National League’s most consistent hitters. Over 89 games and 340 at-bats, he carries a stellar slash line of .288/.351/.474 (.824 OPS), with 14 home runs, 52 RBIs, 53 runs scored, and 35 walks against 63 strikeouts. He’s also racked up significant milestones, most notably his 2,000th career hit and 350th career home run, both reached in early July. His splits reflect his adaptability: vs. left-handed pitching, he hits an elite .360/.439/.660, while vs. righties he still posts a strong .307/.373/.423. I him to have a good game in this one going against Brandon Pfaadt whose been one of the weaker options in this D-backs rotation this season.
Seiya Suzuki Over 1.5 Total Bases
Chicago Cubs vs Minnesota Twins 7:40 PM EST
Seiya Suzuki has continued to prove why he’s one of the most impactful bats in baseball. Over 82 games and 365 plate appearances, he’s slashed .261/.318/.550 for a robust .868 OPS, with 25 home runs, 73 RBIs, 46 runs scored, 30 walks, and 102 strikeouts. He currently leads MLB in RBIs (77) and ranks sixth in home runs (25), solidifying his status as a premier offensive force. Suzuki has excelled against both lefties and righties. Vs. left-handed pitching, he’s hitting a scorching .340/.438/.755 with six homers in just 53 at‑bats. Against right-handed pitching, he’s still a threat at .252/.298/.509. I don’t see him slowing down in this one going against David Festa, who has struggled over the last month.
