MLB Totals for Tuesday (August 18)

Once you have secured those bonus entries, it’s time to start building your first Underdog lineup. I always recommend targeting some of tonight’s highest projected totals to give ourselves a real chance at a win. Here is a look at eight hitters boasting an elevated 1.5-hit over/under on the morning line for today’s slate, alongside two notable starting pitchers:

  • Shohei Ohtani (LAD) vs. COL | Total Hits: 1.5 (Over +118 / Under -165)
  • Freddie Freeman (LAD) vs. COL | Total Hits: 1.5 (Over +128 / Under -171)
  • Andy Pages (LAD) vs. COL | Total Hits: 1.5 (Over +129 / Under -179)
  • Luis Arraez (MIA) vs. PHI | Total Hits: 1.5 (Over +163 / Under -232)
  • Tommy Edman (LAD) vs. COL | Total Hits: 1.5 (Over +174 / Under -248)
  • Teoscar Hernández (LAD) vs. COL | Total Hits: 1.5 (Over +411 / Under -641)
  • Kyle Tucker (LAD) vs. COL | Total Hits: 1.5 (Over +468 / Under -741)
  • Shane Baz (BAL) vs. NYY | Total Strikeouts: 5.5 (Over -150 / Under +114)
  • Carlos Rodón (NYY) vs. BAL | Total Strikeouts: 4.5 (Over -151 / Under +119)

I’m placing these entries with a close eye on the Dodgers heading into the hitter-friendly altitude of Coors Field to take on the Rockies. Their lineup heavily dominates tonight’s highest hit projections. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman headline the slate, both carrying lines of 1.5 hits. Ohtani offers fantastic plus-money (+118) to record two or more hits in this favorable environment, and he also sits as a heavy favorite in the home run market at +206 odds.

On the mound, we have some interesting trends to exploit. Shane Baz draws a tough divisional assignment against the Yankees. The Orioles’ starter enters with a cold trend on his 5.5 strikeout line, failing to clear it in three of his last four games while averaging just 3.0 strikeouts per game in his last two outings against New York. Conversely, Carlos Rodón takes the hill for the Yankees with a slightly lower, more attainable 4.5 strikeout total.

How to Apply the Underdog Promo Code

Ready to finalize your first lineup and chase those bigger payouts? Claiming your bonus is an easy process. Just follow these steps to activate the new user promotion using Underdog promo code MHS:

  1. Sign Up: Create and register a new account here. Be sure to enter Underdog promo code MHS during the registration process.
  2. Deposit: Fund your new account by depositing at least $5 using one of the platform’s secure payment methods.
  3. Play: Submit a $5 entry or prediction on the MLB slate to instantly activate your $50 bonus.

If you are in a state with the daily fantasy platform, there are two ways to create entries. For example, if we are targeting the matchup between the Seattle Mariners and the Milwaukee Brewers, we could build a lineup using projections for probable pitchers Bryce Miller and Kyle Harrison.

  • Standard Entry: A standard entry requires 2+ picks. This format triggers the largest potential payout—think of it like hitting a perfect exacta—but keep in mind that all legs must hit for your entry to be graded as a win.
  • Flex Entry: A flex entry requires 3+ picks and offers a built-in safety net. With a flex entry, you can still receive some winnings even if one leg is incorrect, making it a great strategic option when you want a bit of a cushion.
