Nick Castellanos Over 1.5 Total Bases (-105)
Nick Castellanos has been red-hot against left-handed pitching over the last 30 days. He’s hit a .591 ISO and wOBA of .561 against lefties in that time frame, with 43.8% of fly balls and 68.8% of hard contact. Castellanos has even hit a team-best 25% barrel percentage against lefties over the last 30 days.
Meanwhile, he’ll face Jordan Montgomery of the Diamondbacks. Montgomery has allowed a .211 ISO and wOBA of .390 to his first 212 righties this season. The left-hander has also earned just 13.7% of strikeouts against righties and has allowed 28.5% of line drives.
With a .333 BABIP against lefties over the last 30 days, Castellanos is in a great spot to add at least two total bases tonight.
Jeimer Candelario Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)
Kutter Crawford will head to the mound for the Boston Red Sox tonight. He’s a righty who has had some really good outings this season. However, over the last month, Crawford has allowed a .281 ISO and wOBA of .328 to his previous 61 lefties. He’s also allowed 37% of fly balls with just 41.3% of ground balls induced over the last month against lefties.
He’ll take on Jeimer Candelario, who has smashed right-handed pitching all month. He’s nailed a .485 ISO and wOBA of .516 with only 18.6% of strikeouts against righties in the last month.
Candelario has limited ground balls to 42.6% and has hit 33.3% of fly balls against righties in the last month. Additionally, he’s hit a team-best 59.3% of hard contact over the previous month. Plus, he’s also got an 11.1% barrel percentage with a .348 BABIP against righties in the last 30 days.
Let’s take Candelario to earn at least two total bases tonight.
Corey Seager Over 1.5 Total Bases (-105)
The Texas Rangers haven’t been very consistent offensively. But if it weren’t for Corey Seager, it’d be hard to imagine the Rangers even in contention for a playoff spot right now.
Ultimately, the Rangers’ projected lineup has hit a .149 ISO and wOBA of .286 against righties in the last month. Meanwhile, Seager has smacked a .463 ISO and wOBA of .445 against righties in the last 30 days.
Imagine where the Rangers would be without him.
That said, he’ll take on Brady Singer of the Royals. Singer has dominated right-handed hitters but has struggled against lefties. After all, he’s allowed a .385 ISO and wOBA of .538 to his last 59 lefties. He’s also earned just 18.6% of strikeouts and has given up nearly 62% of hard contact.
On the other hand, Seager has hit more than 51% of fly balls against righties in the last month. He’s also hit a tam-best 63.6% hard contact percentage and has added a 30.3% barrel percentage against righties in the last 30 days.
Take Seager to earn at least two total bases in tonight’s game against the Royals.
