Alec Bohm (PHI) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-172)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Phillies gear up to face the formidable Dodgers, Alec Bohm's recent performance suggests that betting on him to go under 1.5 total bases is the smart play. Over the past month, Bohm has struggled at the plate, hitting just .240 against right-handed pitching, which is particularly concerning given that the Dodgers will trot out their ace, who boasts a sub-3.00 ERA and has been dominant at neutralizing right-handed hitters. The Dodgers' bullpen also ranks among the top five in the league for limiting baserunners, meaning late-game opportunities for Bohm could be scarce. In the last ten games, he’s averaged just over one total base per outing, and with the pressure mounting against a playoff-bound team like L.A., it’s hard to see him breaking through. With the odds favoring the under and the matchup not in his favor, it’s an ideal time to take a step back on Bohm’s total bases.

Philadelphia has been riding a wave of momentum, winning five of their last six games, powered by a lineup that’s waking up at just the right time. Their offense is clicking, averaging over five runs per game during this stretch, which is crucial against a Dodgers pitching staff that, while talented, has shown vulnerabilities on the road. The Phillies’ starting pitcher has demonstrated solid form, consistently keeping opponents guessing and limiting hard contact. Given the Dodgers' recent struggles against left-handed pitchers, this matchup could tilt in Philadelphia's favor. With the home crowd behind them and their confidence soaring, taking the Phillies at -0.5 on the run line feels like a savvy play. They’re primed to edge out Los Angeles in what promises to be an electric game.
