Corey Seager Over 1.5 Total Bases
Texas Rangers vs Kansas City Royals 7:40 PM EST
Corey Seager is having a strong 2025 season with the Texas Rangers, showcasing his power and consistency at the plate. Through 92 games, he has posted a .258 batting average with 89 hits, 18 home runs, and 44 RBIs. His on-base percentage stands at .361, and his slugging percentage is .464, combining for an .825 OPS, which ranks him tied for 32nd in the league. After a 4-game slump, we saw Seager explode for 6 total bases in his last game against the Blue Jays. Now he’ll be up against a struggling Seth Lugo in Kauffman Stadium, where it looks like the hitting conditions will be favorable for this game.

Francisco Lindor Over 1.5 Total Bases
New York Mets vs Washington Nationals 6:45 PM EST
Francisco Lindor is having a strong 2025 season with the New York Mets, showcasing his power and speed. Through 122 games, he has a .259 batting average, 24 home runs, 71 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases, marking his fifth career 20/20 season, a milestone that makes him the first shortstop in MLB history to achieve five such seasons. His .781 OPS ranks him among the top 70 players in the league. We’ve seen Lindor log 2+ total bases in each of his last 5 starts, and I don’t see him slowing down in this one, going against Jake Irvin and this Nationals bullpen.
Jose Rameriez Over 1.5 Total Bases
Cleveland Guardians vs Arizona D-Backs 9:40 PM EST
Jose Ramírez has continued to shine as one of the Cleveland Guardians’ most impactful hitters. Through 120 games and 454 at-bats, he’s batting .291, with 25 home runs, 64 RBIs, 35 stolen bases, and an impressive .879 OPS, ranking 12th in the league, while being tied for 15th in average and 17th in homers. Jose Rameriez has actually struggled over his last 10 games, but this is a great series for him to bounce back in. He’ll be up against this D-backs team that has been terrible on the mound. They’ll have Eduardo Rodriguez to start, and he has an ERA over 5, and Arizona also possesses one of the worst bullpens in the league.
