Note: Odds were correct at the time of writing.

Rafael Devers Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135) at bet365

Devers is currently slashing .255/.384/.460 with 17 home runs and 23 doubles in 443 plate appearances this season. While the numbers aren’t as good if you look at what he’s done since being traded to the Giants, featuring a .202/.330/.326 slash in 25 games, this is a great matchup against the Blue Jays.

We’ve seen the former Red Sox star absolutely mash against tonight’s starter in veteran right-hander Chris Bassitt, going 8-for-17 with two doubles and three home runs. This includes an elite .596 xwOBA, which means that Devers is consistently generating hard contact vs Bassitt.

We’re getting a terrific deal on Devers over 1.5 total bases at bet365 at +135 odds, since this is as short as +120 at DraftKings. When you consider this phenomenal batter-vs-pitcher data, it’s hard to pass up on Devers in this exploitable matchup.

Gleyber Torres Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120) at DraftKings

Torres has been a terrific addition to the Tigers this season, featuring a .281/.387/.425 slash with nine home runs and 16 doubles in 359 plate appearances. The numbers look even better against left-handed pitching, where he’s slashing .300/.420/.543 in 88 plate appearances.

That’s great news because tonight, Torres will go up against Patrick Corbin, who has allowed a .336 wOBA vs lefties (.299 wOBA vs righties). This also includes a 1.61 HR/9 and 4.33 xFIP. On top of that, Torres has had success vs Corbin, homering twice with a .461 xwOBA in 15 career plate appearances.

You can get a nice price on this prop at +120 at DraftKings, since this is listed as short as +110 at Fliff. When you take into account how well Torres has punished southpaws along with his success vs Corbin, you have to like riding with the former Yankee second baseman here.

Julio Rodriguez Over 1.5 Total Bases (+115) at bet365

Rodriguez is in the midst of a disappointing season, as highlighted by a .252/.313/.417 slash with 14 home runs and 17 doubles in 431 plate appearances. But there are reasons for optimism, as Julio homered in three straight games leading up to the All-Star Break.

In fact, the Mariners’ star has gone over 1.5 total bases in six of his last seven games. This aligns with career norms because Rodriguez has traditionally been a much better hitter in the second half, putting up a career .903 OPS after the All-Star Break (.737 OPS in the first half).

We’re getting a reasonable price on Julio over 1.5 total bases at +115 at bet365, which looks enticing because this is a talented hitter who is finally finding his groove. The matchup against Astros’ lefty Brandon Walter isn’t one to fear, either, as Julio has a 118 wRC+ against left-handers this year.
