The Line: Betting Odds: Los Angeles -1.5 — Over/Under: +8.5
William Contreras Over 1.5 Total Bases
Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Dodgers 10:10 PM EST
William Contreras has appeared in 90 games, recording 331 at-bats and hitting .245 with 6 home runs, 37 RBIs, and 5 stolen bases, while posting a .698 OPS. His recent stretch shows a strong uptick: over the last 30 games, he’s hitting around .248/.351/.354, and in the most recent 15-game span, he’s sitting at .262/.338/.344, showing improved consistency at the plate. It looks like it’s going to be somewhat of a bullpen game for the Dodgers with Sheehan getting the start. With how hot these Brewers bats have been as of late, I expect this Dodgers pitching staff to have a lot of pressure on them, and Contreras will be able to exploit that.

Fernando Tatis Over 1.5 Total Bases
San Diego Padres vs Washington Nationals 6:45 PM EST
Fernando Tatis Jr. has delivered a strong all-around performance in the 2025 season for the San Diego Padres. Through 94 games, he’s slashing .269/.366/.451 with an .817 OPS, while contributing 16 home runs, 42 RBIs, 65 runs scored, and 21 stolen bases. Tatis boasts an average exit velocity of 93.1 mph, a hard-hit rate above 50%, and a healthy 11.5% barrel rate. While these numbers represent a slight step back from his explosive 2021–2022 peak, they still rank well above league averages. The Nationals will be sending out Mitchell Parker in this game. Parker has been hit up this season, coming into this one with an ERA over 5. It looks like there’s going to be good hitting conditions in Washington on Saturday. I expect Tatis to have a fantastic game against Parker and this poor Nationals bullpen.
Alec Burleson Over 1.5 Total Bases
St. Louis Cardnials vs Arizona D-Backs 9:40 PM EST
Alec Burleson has had an impactful 2025 campaign for the St. Louis Cardinals, showcasing steady offensive growth and versatility. Over 290 plate appearances, he has slashed .293/.340/.466 with an .806 OPS, tallying 11 home runs, 43 RBIs, 31 runs scored, and 4 stolen bases. His strong batting average ranks tied for 15th in MLB, while his OPS sits among the top 50 hitters. Burleson’s quality of contact paints a flattering picture of his offensive profile; he sports an average exit velocity of 91.1 mph, a hard‑hit rate of 43.4%, and a barrel rate of 9.2%, all of which exceed the league average. I’m looking to fade this D-Backs bullpen any chance I get. It has been the downfall of this team, and Burleson will capitalize on that.
