Kyle Schwarber Over 1.5 Total Bases

Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds 6:40 PM EST

As of August 12, 2025, Kyle Schwarber is having an exceptional season with the Philadelphia Phillies, establishing himself as a leading contender for the National League MVP award. Over 112 games, he has accumulated 107 hits, including 40 home runs, 94 RBIs, and 79 runs scored. His batting line stands at .258/.379/.585, with a .964 OPS, underscoring his elite power and on-base skills. Schwarber’s recent performance has been particularly impressive. In his last 30 games, he has hit 15 home runs. After a quiet series in Texas, I expect Schwarber to have more success in this one with playing in this hitter-friendly ballpark and going up against Brady Singer, who has struggled this season.

Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Total Bases

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Los Angeles Angels 9:38 PM EST

As of August 11, 2025, Shohei Ohtani is delivering another remarkable season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, solidifying his status as one of baseball’s premier talents. In 114 games, he is batting .280 with 125 hits, including 39 home runs, 75 RBIs, and 108 runs scored. His .377 on-base percentage and .631 slugging percentage contribute to a 1.008 OPS, ranking second in the National League. Ohtani has logged 3+ total bases in each of his last 5 starts. I don’t see him slowing down in this one, going against Angels starter Tyler Anderson and this pitiful Angels bullpen.

Wilson Contreras Over 1.5 Total Bases

Colorado Rockies vs St. Louis Cardnials 7:45 PM EST

As of August 12, 2025, Willson Contreras is having a productive season with the St. Louis Cardinals. Over 109 games, he has posted a .257 batting average, with 85 hits, 15 home runs, and 62 RBIs. His on-base percentage stands at .339, and his slugging percentage is .426, resulting in an OPS of .765. Notably, Contreras has demonstrated power and consistency, ranking among the top 10 National League catchers in several offensive categories, including home runs, doubles, RBIs, walks, slugging percentage, OPS, total bases, and extra-base hits. Contreras has lacked consistency this season, but if he were to have a good series, it would be this one, going against the Rockies.
