Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Total Bases

New York Yankees vs St. Louis Cardnials 8:15 PM EST

Aaron Judge is having an outstanding season with the New York Yankees, firmly establishing himself as one of the league’s premier hitters. He is batting .333 with 38 home runs and 88 RBIs, while posting an on-base percentage of .444 and a slugging percentage of .687, resulting in a league-leading OPS of 1.131. These numbers place him among the top performers in Major League Baseball, highlighting his consistent power and ability to reach base. Judge has faced some challenges this season, including a right elbow flexor strain in late July that landed him on the 10-day injured list. Since returning, he has been limited to designated hitter duties to manage the injury. Even though Judge has been in a slump as of late, I do like him in this matchup. He’ll be up against Andre Pallante, who has struggled over his last few starts. A guy of Judge’s caliber won’t stay cold for long, and I see this being a good opportunity to bounce back.

Vinnie Pasquantino Over 1.5 Total Bases

Chicago White Sox vs Kansas City Royals 8:10 PM EST

Vinnie Pasquantino is having a solid season for the Kansas City Royals. In 118 games, he is batting .260 with 120 hits, 22 home runs, and 80 RBIs. His on-base percentage stands at .321, slugging percentage at .450, and OPS at .771. These numbers place him among the league leaders in RBIs and home runs, showcasing his consistent power-hitting ability. He is coming off back-to-back massive games, logging 6 total bases in each of those games against the Nationals. I don’t see him slowing down in this one, going against Aaron Civale, who just gave up 9 earned runs in his last start and is way past his prime. 

Yainer Diaz Over 1.5 Total Bases

Houston Astros vs Baltimore Orioles 8:10 PM EST

Yainer Díaz is experiencing a productive season with the Houston Astros, serving as both a catcher and designated hitter. Through 107 games, he has posted a .254 batting average, 17 home runs, and 53 RBIs, contributing significantly to the team’s offensive efforts. His on-base percentage stands at .282, and his slugging percentage is .423, resulting in an OPS of .705. Diaz finished out the Astros series against the Red Sox, recording a combined 7 total bases. The Orioles are sending out rookie pitcher Brandon Young, who has been cracked by opponents all season. He’ll also be going against an undesirable Orioles bullpen. I expect Diaz to carry his momentum into this game.
