MLB prop bets today [August 20, 2025] ...Middle East

The Toronto Blue Jays kick off Wednesday’s slate of games with a matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

With the Detroit Tigers possessing a half-game lead over Toronto for the top seed in the AL, the Blue Jays must string together their wins should they want to secure a major advantage for the playoffs.

Luckily for Toronto, they are in a favourable position to keep pace with the Tigers on Wednesday as they face off against the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Johan Oviedo, who struggled with his command in his season debut.

With fourteen games taking place on Wednesday, there are plenty of markets to browse through, which you can read a detailed breakdown of below.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Pittsburgh Pirates (12:35pm, EST)

Toronto Blue Jays First Five Innings Team Total Over 2.5: (+110) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After a slow start to the year, the Toronto Blue Jays offence has transformed into one of the more productive units in the league as their lineup currently ranks top-5 in Team Total Hits, On Base Percentage, and in Slugger Percentage.

Their ability to string together their Hits helps put them in scoring position at a high rate as the Blue Jays also rank above league average in Total Runs Scored and in RBIs.

Heading into Wednesday’s contest against Pittsburgh, the Blue Jays’ offence will have the opportunity to get off to a hot start as they face off against Johan Oviedo, who severely underwhelmed in his season debut. In his lone start, Oviedo finished the contest with an ERA of 18.00, a WHIP of 5.000, a FIP of 6.12, and less than one Hit Allowed per Inning Pitched.

Johan Oviedo Under 3.5 Strikeouts: (-130) at FanDuel Sportsbook

With the Blue Jays’ offence leading the league in Contact Rate, Oviedo’s struggles with punching out are poised to persist. This may lead to another early exit which drastically lowers his chances of burning the over on his Strikeout prop.

For some more exposure, escalator bet Oviedo’s Strikeout prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate unders at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.

Seattle Mariners vs Philadelphia Phillies (1:05pm, EST)

Seattle Mariners First Five Innings Team Total Over 1.5: (-130) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After ranking well below league average in most key batting metrics last year, the Seattle Mariners have managed to round back into competitive form this season as their lineup ranks in the top half of the board in Contact Rate, Slugger Percentage, and Total Runs Scored. Their resurgence on offence has helped them remain competitive in the AL West as they are just 1.5 games back from Houston for first.

With Jesus Luzardo taking the mound for Philadelphia, expect the Mariners to get into scoring position from the opening pitch as the Phillies pitcher is averaging an ERA of 4.21 and a WHIP of 1.338. Especially with his back end struggling in coverage, as the Phillies’ defence ranks below league average in Defensive Efficiency.

Julio Rodriguez Over 1.5 Total Bases: (+105) at Caesars Sportsbook

Julio Rodriguez has played a key role in the Mariners’ turnaround on offence as the star batter is averaging over one Hit per game, a .259 Batting Average.313 On Base Percentage, and a .769 OPS. With Luzardo averaging nearly one Hit Against per Inning Pitched, expect Rodriguez to take advantage of his lack of command and continue to get on base at a high rate.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies (8:40pm, EST)

Los Angeles Dodgers Run Line -2.5: (-125) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After beating Colorado 11-4 on Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers have the opportunity to carry over their momentum into Wednesday as Tanner Gordon is set to take the mound for the Rockies. It’s been an abysmal year for the Rockies pitcher as he enters the contest averaging an ERA of 7.98, a FIP of 4.34, and nearly two runners on base per inning.

Unfortunately for Gordon, he may be in for another long night as he faces off against a Dodgers offence that ranks near the top of the board in most offensive metrics. His back end also gives him minimal support with their coverage, as the Rockies’ defence ranks 30th overall in Defensive Efficiency.
