Nick Fortes OVER 0.5 Total Bases (-114 at Sportsbook)
It’s a greasy pick, but backup catcher Nick Fortes is hitting .529 with nine knocks and a homer across his last five games, cashing this number in every one of them.
Facing lefty Jesus Luzardo (who’s been hittable lately), Fortes brings right-handed pop and confidence into this matchup, and at just -114 for a single base, we’ll gladly take the discount. It may not last forever, but we’re riding the wave while it’s hot.
Gavin Sheets OVER 0.5 Total Bases (-150 at Sportsbook)
Gavin Sheets has quietly strung together a seven-game hit streak and is hitting with more authority than we’ve seen in his career so far.
Even against a tough Dodgers pitching staff, Sheets’ recent form makes him a strong play, and at -150, the single-base angle gives us the right mix of chalk and floor. He’s been barreling the ball up and avoiding strikeouts, which is a big deal when facing a bullpen-heavy team. With a strong lefty swing and a clear role in the lineup, he’s in a great spot to keep producing.
