Picks for 9/12/25
MLB
6:45 PM EST
Rotation # 969-970
Royals/Phillies Over 9 runs (win)
Lorenzen/Buehler
The Phillies are fresh off a four-game sweep of the Mets, which more or less locked up the NL East. Philly got payback for the Mets sweeping them just a week ago in New York and might have an emotional letdown against a Royals team that is five games back of a wildcard spot with not much time left. From here on out, every loss for Kansas City hurts their ever-so-slim chances. One positive about the Royals is that they don’t strike out often. Phillies starter Walker Buehler has struggled this season and doesn’t have the arm he did in the past. Both teams, especially Philly, have hit the ball above average since the All-Star break. Look for a higher-scoring game. Take the Over.
