Bryce Harper Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110)
Over the last month, Bryce Harper has been the only consistent power hitter against righties in Philadelphia’s lineup. He’s hit a .316 ISO and wOBA of .422 in that time frame against righties.
He’s also smashed 33.3% of fly balls and 31.1% of line drives while only hitting 31.1% of ground balls against righties over the last month.
Meanwhile, Harper has also slugged a 55.6% hard contact percentage, leading the Phillies in barrel percentage against righties over the last 30 days.
He’ll be in line to make on Miles Mikolas of the Cardinals. Mikolas is a righty who has allowed a .205 ISO and woBA of .363 to his first 123 lefties. He’s also struck out only 17.1% of righties and has given up 29% of line drives with just 37.6% of ground balls induced.
This is an excellent spot for Harper to add an extra-base hit or two.
Rafael Devers Over 1.5 Total Bases (-120)
Over the last 30 days, Rafael Devers has slugged a .426 ISO and wOBA of .472 against righties. While he’s struck out nearly 24% of the time, he’ll face Kenta Maeda of the Tigers, who has only added 17.9% of strikeouts against lefties this entire season.
Maeda has allowed a .214 ISO and wOBA of .348 to his first 78 lefties this season. He’s also induced just 32.1% of ground balls, with more than 30% of line drives allowed.
On the other hand, Devers has hit 30.4% of fly balls and 67.4% of hard contact over the last month. The Red Sox lefty has also hit a 17.4% barrel percentage, which leads the Red Sox’ projected lineup over the previous month.
With Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, and Rob Refsnyder having high potential of getting on base, Devers is in an excellent position to get some pitches to hit.
Jose Ramirez Over 1.5 Total Bases (-120)
There’s nothing wrong with betting on some of the best hitters in the game. We’ll keep doing that tonight. Jose Ramirez has been ridiculous against lefties throughout the year. However, over the last 30 days, he’s hit a .387 ISO and wOBA of .500 against lefties with just 8.3% of strikeouts.
Ramirez has hit 32.1% of line drives and 71.4% of hard contact against lefties. He’s also smashed a 14.3% barrel percentage against lefties. While Ramirez is a switch-hitter, he’ll bat from the right side against Patrick Corbin, the lefty.
Corbin has allowed a .236 ISO and wOBA of .394 to his first 214 righties. He’s only struck out 12.6% of righties and has allowed 52.6% of hard contact with only 9% swinging strikes. He’s been one of the hottest hitters in the game in the last month, so let’s back Ramirez to add a couple of bases tonight.
