Important to hit this from the top: it’s Yamamoto night in Los Angeles. No matter. Kyle Tucker is on fire in 2025, and he’s got extra incentive to have the season of his lifetime after watching Vladdy Jr. sign for $500 million north of the border. His looming free agency isn’t what we’ll be betting on tonight, however. Here’s my favorite Kyle Tucker prop this evening based on my game prediction for Cubs at Dodgers.
Best Kyle Tucker prop bet for Dodgers vs. Cubs
Kyle Tucker 2+ total bases (+145)
Tuck’s batting .307 this season with a robust .562 slugging percentage, which suggests he’s finding consistent power. His OPS is an impressive .954, ranking among the league’s elite. He’s averaging 1.72 total bases per game, which is more than enough to clear this +145 line for 2+ total bases.
Now, let’s talk about his matchup. The Dodgers are sending out Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a pitcher whose numbers this season show some vulnerability against left-handed batters (lefties are hitting .291 against him in 2025). Tucker—a lefty—has been tearing it up against right-handed pitchers, hitting .325 this season. Against Yamamoto’s offerings, Tucker has the potential to put a charge into the ball, especially with his high slugging percentage and ability to drive the ball into the gaps.
On top of that, Tucker’s been racking up extra-base hits at a solid rate, evidenced by his 4 home runs and 10 RBIs. His ability to get on base and turn those into total bases gives us confidence in his ability to clear the 2+ bases threshold.
In short, with his power numbers, success against right-handed pitchers, and ability to produce extra-base hits, Kyle Tucker at +145 for 2+ total bases is a prime play.
Best bet: Kyle Tucker 2+ total bases (+145)
