Player Analysis
J.T. Realmuto has been a consistent performer for the Phillies this season. He currently has a batting average of .298, with 9 home runs and 54 RBIs. His ability to drive in runs and get on base makes him a valuable asset in the lineup. Realmuto's total bases per game average is also impressive, which supports the odds on his total bases prop. He has been particularly effective against right-handed pitchers, and with Zack Wheeler on the mound, he may get some good opportunities to capitalize.
Opposing Analysis
The Diamondbacks will send out Ryne Nelson as their starting pitcher. Nelson has a 4.65 ERA and has given up 123 hits in 110.1 innings this season. His tendency to allow runs could play into Realmuto's favor, especially considering Realmuto's ability to hit in clutch situations. The Diamondbacks' bullpen has also had its struggles, which could allow for more scoring opportunities for Realmuto later in the game.
