Chicago White Sox vs. Philadelphia Phillies 6:40 PM ET
Alec Bohm Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-119 per DraftKings)
While the season as a whole hasn’t gone exactly as planned for Alec Bohm, he has shown encouraging signs over the last month and into June. During May, Bohm batted .277 with a .479 slugging percentage while recording 26 hits, 11 RBIs, and 11 runs scored. Through the first three games of June, he has already collected three hits and an RBI, and he’ll look to continue that momentum tonight as the Phillies open a three-game series against the White Sox.
Chicago is expected to send left-hander Anthony Kay to the mound. Kay has been solid this season, posting a 3.77 ERA, a 1.40 WHIP, and an 8.79 H/9. Bohm has faced him before, going 1-for-3 with an RBI and a .917 OPS in the matchup.
Conditions should also be favorable for hitters tonight in Philadelphia. Warm temperatures and a slight breeze blowing toward right field could help balls carry a bit farther than usual. Given Bohm’s recent consistency and his ability to contribute in multiple statistical categories, this looks like a strong opportunity for him to clear the 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs mark.
Tampa Bay Rays vs. Miami Marlins 7:10 PM ET
Jakob Marsee Over 0.5 Hits (-150 per DraftKings)
Jakob Marsee’s overall numbers may not jump off the page, but he has shown improvement recently. He has recorded at least one hit in six of his last 10 games and enters tonight riding a two-game hitting streak.
The Marlins begin a home series against the in-state rival Rays, who are expected to start right-hander Drew Rasmussen. Marsee has seen Rasmussen before and enjoyed success, posting a .667 batting average and a 1.167 OPS in their previous meetings.
Marsee has also performed slightly better against right-handed pitching this season, hitting .208 with a .617 OPS compared to a .167 batting average against left-handers. While his season-long numbers remain modest, this matchup provides a favorable opportunity against a pitcher he has already handled well.
At a reasonable price, backing Marsee to record a hit feels like a solid play, especially considering his recent improvement at the plate.
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Atlanta Braves 7:15 PM ET
Embed from Getty ImagesRonald Acuna Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases (+113 per DraftKings)
Ronald Acuña Jr. has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last couple of weeks. Across his last seven games, he is batting .333 with an incredible 1.000 slugging percentage and five home runs.
His recent production has translated directly into total bases, as he has cleared the 1.5 total bases mark in three of his last five games and five of his last 10 overall.
Atlanta opens a new home series tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are expected to hand the ball to Mitch Keller. Acuña has enjoyed tremendous success against Keller throughout his career, batting .421 with a 1.371 OPS and three home runs in 19 at-bats.
The matchup gets even more appealing when looking at Acuña’s splits against right-handed pitching this season. Against righties, he is batting .288 with an .891 OPS, continuing a trend that has followed him throughout his career.
Given his current form, strong history against Keller, and the advantage of playing at home, Acuña looks well-positioned for another productive night at the plate. Whether it’s through multiple hits or an extra-base hit, there are plenty of paths for him to cash this total bases prop.
Washington Nationals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks 9:40 PM ET
Washington Nationals Team Total Over 4.5 Runs (+110 per DraftKings)
It’s been a difficult stretch offensively for the Washington Nationals, who were just swept by the Miami Marlins and failed to score more than 4.5 runs in any game during that series. So why back them tonight?
For starters, Washington had a travel day to reset and now opens a fresh road series against the Diamondbacks. This lineup has too much talent to remain quiet for an extended period of time and tonight presents a favorable opportunity to get things going again.
Arizona is expected to send Merrill Kelly to the mound. Kelly enters the game with a 5.06 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP this season, numbers that suggest opposing offenses have been able to generate opportunities against him. While the Nationals don’t have an extensive history against Kelly, several hitters have found success in limited action. Four projected starters own batting averages of .333 or better against him, while both James Wood and Luis Garcia Jr. have taken him deep.
Washington has also been a much better offensive team away from home this season. The Nationals rank ninth in MLB with a .248 road batting average and sixth with a .412 road slugging percentage. Given the matchup, the rest advantage, and their strong road splits, this looks like a good spot for Washington to break out offensively and clear the 4.5-run mark.
New York Mets vs. San Diego Padres 9:40 PM ET
Bo Bichette Over 1.5 Total Bases (+127 per DraftKings)
Bo Bichette is coming off arguably his best offensive performance of the season, going 4-for-4 with three RBIs and a run scored. While none of those hits went for extra bases, seeing the ball that well against a Seattle pitching staff that ranks among the league’s best is an encouraging sign.
Tonight, the Mets begin a road series against the Padres in San Diego. Michael King is expected to get the start for San Diego, and Bichette has held his own against him in previous matchups, batting .286 with a .681 OPS across 21 at-bats.
Bichette has also been noticeably more productive on the road this season, posting a .235 batting average and a .604 OPS away from home. Those numbers may not jump off the page, but combined with his recent form, they suggest he’s beginning to find a rhythm at the plate.
With confidence building after his breakout performance in Seattle and a matchup against a pitcher he has seen before, Bichette has a solid opportunity to continue his hot streak and cash this total bases prop.
