The slate on a Monday usually isn’t very good. But tonight, we’ve got 12 games on the betting board. This is an elite night to bet on some baseball. Therefore, I asked the AI Model for its best three bets for tonight’s games. Here’s what you should consider at the top-rated sportsbooks.

Picks Summary:

  • J.T. Realmuto Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105)
  • Brent Rooker Under .5 Hits (+200)
  • Tommy Edman Under .5 Hits (+150)

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Colorado Rockies

Monday, May 19, 2025 – 08:40 PM EDT at Coors Field


The AI Model believes J.T. Realmuto will earn .718 total bases in tonight’s game against the Rockies. However, his consensus line is at 1.5, with the Under juiced to +105. That’s a massive play.

JT Realmuto Isn’t Producing

The Phillies’ catcher has earned a .048 ISO and wOBA of .130 against his last 22 left-handed pitchers. The righty has struck out only 9.1% of the time, but has added just 21.1% of fly balls and earned a .105 BABIP.

While Realmuto and the Phillies will be in Colorado, they don’t have an easy assignment against Kyle Freeland.

Yes, the Rockies stink. But Freeland doesn’t. He’s held his first 207 batters to a .133 ISO and wOBA of .354, while inducing more than 49% of ground balls. Righties have hit a .135 ISO against Freeland this season. Freeland is throwing well for the Rockies.

The Pick

Using the AI Model, consider taking J.T. Realmuto to hit Under 1.5 total bases against Freeland and the Rockies tonight. Realmuto has the lowest BABIP of any Phillies hitter against lefties in the starting lineup.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Athletics

Monday, May 19, 2025 – 10:05 PM EDT at Sutter Health Park


The AI Model thinks Brent Rooker will add .79 hits for the Athletics tonight. Yet, his total hits prop is at .5, with the Under at +200. There’s so much value for Hooker to go 0-for.

It’s Not Easy To Hit For Power Against Jose Soriano!

Brent Rooker and the Athletics will battle Jose Soriano of the Angels tonight. Soriano has limited his first 101 righties to a .067 ISO and has added 67.6% of ground balls with only 14.1% of fly balls allowed. He has even limited line drives to below 17% on the season.

Tonight, he’ll take on Brent Rooker, who is known for his power against righties and lefties. Yet, against righties, Rooker has only hit a .179 ISO and wOBA of .319. These are above-average numbers, but just slightly above average.

Rooker has hit nearly 42% of ground balls and just 18.2% of line drives against righties over the last 30 days, too. Soriano could really do some damage against Rooker by producing some easy ground balls.

The Pick

Give me Rooker to add below .5 hits at +200. Just one bad day from Rooker would be a big payout for us.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

Monday, May 19, 2025 – 10:10 PM EDT at Dodger Stadium


Our AI Model predicts Tommy Edman will only record .797 hits. Meanwhile, his hits prop is at .5, with the Under at +150. That’s a play you’ll want to consider tonight.

Tommy Edman Is Back… But Who Cares!

Tommy Edman returned from the injured list for the Dodgers over the weekend. However, the switch-hitter has still only hit a .095 ISO and wOBA of .212 against his last 26 righties.

He’ll take on Brandon Pfaadt of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who has held his first 139 lefties to just 20.4% of fly balls and only 5.8% of walks. Pfaadt is usually a good ground ball pitcher and has kept fly balls down against lefties. Ultimately, Edman is a switch-hitter, but he’ll bat from the left side against the righty Pfaadt.

Over the last 30 days. Edman has added a 0% barrel percentage with a 31.6% hard contact rate against righties. He’s also earned a .158 BABIP, which is the second-worst on the team behind Michael Conforto.

The Pick

Let’s fade Tommy Edman tonight.
