MLB Player Prop Picks 08/05/2025 Today’s MLB Picks (American League Batter Props)

Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Total Bases

St. Louis Cardinals vs Los Angeles Dodgers 10:10 PM EST

Shohei Ohtani has been delivering another superstar season at the plate for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025, showcasing elite power and production. Through 110 games and 431 at-bats, he is hitting .274 with 38 home runs and 73 RBIs, while leading MLB with 102 runs scored. His on-base skills and power combine for a .379 OBP, .603 slugging percentage, and a .982 OPS, ranking him among the top hitters in baseball. He’s been on an absolute tear, and I don’t see him slowing down in this one. He’ll be up against Mikolas and this Cardinals bullpen that’s been awful on the road this season. This is a great spot for Ohtani to continue his success.

Christian Yelich Over 1.5 Total Bases

Milwaukee Brewers vs Atlanta Braves 7:15 PM EST

Christian Yelich has appeared in 399 at-bats, and is posting a slash line of .263/.344/.451, resulting in a .796 OPS. He hit 21 home runs (tied for 22nd in MLB), drove in 73 runs, scored 61 times, and stole 15 bases, placing him among only 11 players in MLB to log at least 20 homers and 10 steals in 2025. Yelich has been streaky this season, but he seems to be in good form right now. He looked great in the Brewers’ last series against the Nationals, and I like him to carry that success into this series. Joey Wentz is getting the start for the Braves, and he’s entering this one with an ERA over 5. With how hot this Brewers team is right now, I expect this Braves pitching staff to have troubles, and Yelich will play a role in that. 

CJ Abrams Over 1.5 Total Bases

Washington Nationals vs Athletics 6:45 PM EST

Abrams has logged 387 at-bats. He’s slashing a .274/.342/.468, delivering an .810 OPS, placing him in the top 45 MLB hitters for the year. Abrams has totaled 106 hits, 14 home runs, 42 RBIs, and an impressive 26 stolen bases, anchoring his high-impact role atop Washington’s lineup. Even though Abrams struggled to finish off the Nationals’ last series against the Brewers, he’s still having a breakout year, and I like him to bounce back in this series against the Athletics. The Athletics have the 2nd worst bullpen in the MLB when it comes to an ERA perspective. Severino is starting the game for the Athletics, and even though he’s been better on the road this season, I expect a hitter of Abrams’ caliber to get after him.
