As the Tigers face off against the Phillies, all eyes will be on Trea Turner. While his speed and batting prowess are undeniable, recent trends suggest that he may struggle to rack up total bases today. Turner’s been facing a tough Tigers pitching staff, especially with right-hander Matt Manning on the mound. Manning's ability to limit hard contact has been impressive lately, and he’s been particularly effective at home with a solid WHIP under 1.20.
Moreover, Turner has seen his power dip against righties, with a batting average that plummets in similar matchups. The Tigers' bullpen has also been sneaky good, often shutting down opposing hitters late in the game. Given these factors, betting on Turner to stay under 1.5 total bases feels prudent, especially considering the recent trends. It’s shaping up to be a day where the bats might not break out, particularly for Turner.
Alec Bohm (PHI) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-179)

As the Tigers host the Phillies, Alec Bohm’s recent form suggests a tough day at the plate is ahead. With the Tigers' pitching staff showing significant improvement lately—posting a 3.58 ERA over their last 10 games—Bohm may struggle to find his rhythm. He’s been a solid contributor this season, but his recent numbers paint a different picture, as he’s only managed to cross the 1.5 total bases mark in a third of his last ten outings.
Combine this with the fact that the Tigers are effectively utilizing their bullpen, allowing just a .220 batting average against. With Bohm facing a lineup of crafty pitchers who can effectively neutralize his strengths, the under on 1.5 total bases for him feels like the right call. In a game where every run counts, expect Bohm to find the going tough against a resurgent Detroit staff.
