San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants
Monday, June 02, 2025 – 09:45 PM EDT at Oracle Park
The AI Model expects Jung Hoo Lee to add just .319 runs in tonight’s showdown against the Padres. Meanwhile, his prop is at .5 runs with the under currently sitting at -165. There’s plenty of value here.
Jung Hoo Lee Isn’t Himself
The Giants got excellent production out of Jung Hoo Lee earlier this season. However, lately, he’s struggled to even get on base.
While he’s struck out just 7.1% of the time against righties over the last month, he’s also hit a .101 ISO and wOBA of .262 with only 2.4% of walks.
Lee rarely walks and has hit just 29.7% of hard contact with a 4.1% barrel percentage against righties in the last month. That’s resulted in a .222 BABIP in the previous 30 days against righties.
That said, he’ll duel it out against Padres’ starter Stephen Kolek. Kolek has given up a .169 ISO and wOBA of .363 to his last 68 left-handed batters. However, he’s still managed to earn nearly 57% of ground balls against lefties and has allowed just 20% of fly balls with 22.2% of line drives.
If he continues this up, lefties won’t be getting on base nearly as much as they have over the last 30 days.
The Pick
Let’s back Jung Hoo Lee to go under .5 runs. Thank our AI Model when this hits!

Minnesota Twins vs. Athletics
Monday, June o2, 2025 – 10:05 PM EDT at Sutter Health Park
The AI Model believes Joe Ryan will allow only 4.349 hits in tonight’s game for the Twins. Yet, his hits allowed prop is at 5.5, with the under at -150. He’s expected to give up one fewer hit using our AI Model. That’s crazy!
Joe Ryan Is On Point!
Earlier this season, Minnesota’s ace, Joe Ryan, struggled with power. He gave up a high ISO to begin the year.
However, he’s limited all that in the last 30 days. Instead, over the last month, Ryan has allowed a .130 ISO and wOBA of .224 to 85 batters. He’s also limited walks to 4.7% and has struck out more than 29% of batters faced over the last 30 days.
He’s facing an Athletics projected lineup that has only hit a .144 ISO and wOBA of .312 collectively over the last 30 days. Plus, the Athletics have four batters who have struck out at least 30.9% of the time against righties during the previous 30 days.
Ryan should be able to add a high rate of strikeouts and limit hits against the Athletics team.
The Pick
I’m on Ryan to allow fewer than 5.5 hits in tonight’s ball game.

New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Monday, June 02, 2025 – 10:10 PM EDT at Dodger Stadium
Our AI Model predicts Michael Conforto will finish with only .476 hits in tonight’s game for the Dodgers. Meanwhile, his hits prop is at .5, but the under is at +125. That’s sensational value with Conforto going up against the team that drafted him.
It’s Paul Blackburn’s Season Debut!
The New York Mets will give Paul Blackburn the ball for tonight’s game. It’ll be his first start of the season after starting the year on the injured list.
Blackburn threw against 317 batters last season and held lefties to a .128 ISO and wOBA of .275. He didn’t add a high rate of strikeouts, but he kept lefties to 19% of fly balls and induced nearly 47% of ground balls against lefties.
Tonight, he’ll battle lefty Michael Conforto, who hasn’t had much success against righties recently. Over the last 30 days, Conforto has hit a .089 ISO and wOBA of .259 with 25% of strikeouts.
Since Blackburn pitched so well against lefties last season, it’s hard to imagine Conforto getting the best of a healthy Blackburn tonight.
The Pick
Grab Conforto to go Under .5 hits tonight. Â
