Geraldo Perdomo Over 1.5 Total Bases

Arizona D-backs vs Colorado Rockies 8:10 PM EST

Geraldo Perdomo is delivering a standout season for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 121 games, he is batting .288 with 128 hits, 13 home runs, and 79 RBIs. His on-base percentage stands at .388, and his slugging percentage is .444, resulting in an OPS of .832, all of which rank among the top 30 in the National League. Perdomo’s recent performance has been particularly impressive. Over his last 14 games, he is hitting .378 with 17 hits, 2 home runs, 4 RBIs, and 12 runs scored. In his most recent five games, he boasts a .450 batting average with 9 hits, 2 home runs, 4 RBIs, and 7 runs scored.

Kyle Schwarber Over 1.5 Total Bases

Philadelphia Phillies vs Washington Nationals 4:05 PM EST

As of mid-August 2025, Kyle Schwarber is having a remarkable season with the Philadelphia Phillies, solidifying his reputation as one of Major League Baseball’s premier power hitters. Through 120 games, he boasts a .249 batting average, 42 home runs, 97 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases, contributing significantly to the Phillies’ offensive lineup. His on-base percentage is .379, slugging percentage .585, and OPS .950, ranking him fourth in the majors. He’ll be up against Cade Cavalli, who is coming off a tough start, and this is only his 3rd start of the season. After that, he’ll be up against this pitiful Nationals bullpen. I see a Schwarber bomb coming in this game. 

Kyle Tucker Over 1.5 Total Bases

Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates 2:20 PM EST

Kyle Tucker is delivering a strong performance for the Chicago Cubs in his first season with the team. In 117 games, he is batting .265 with 114 hits, 18 home runs, 62 RBIs, 77 runs scored, and 24 stolen bases. His on-base percentage is .377, slugging percentage .457, and OPS .835, all ranking among the top 30 in the National League. Kyle Tucker has been in a slump over the last month, but with a guy this talented, I don’t see that lasting long. He’ll also have a favorable matchup in this game, going against the Pirates, who have Burrows on the mound and have a struggling bullpen. Let’s buy low on Kyle Tucker.
