Gambling911.com looks at potential value in MLB betting lines and totals based on a number of factors for games played Tuesday August 19, 2025.
Tuesday August 19
Astros vs. Tigers
The line on this one fell from -170 to -152 despite some decent action on Detroit early at many of the books we monitor.
Mariners vs. Phillies
Heavy lopsided action on the Over but the number has yet to move off the 8.
Athletics
From ESPN:
"On June 8, Jacob Lopez's ERA was 8.31 while his WHIP was 1.79. Even so, The Athletics moved him to the rotation, and the results have been dazzling. Over his last dozen outings, Lopez is 6-2 with a 2.09 ERA and 1.02 WHIP, fully supported with 77 strikeouts to only 20 walks in 64 1/3 frames. Next up is a road contest with the Minnesota Twins and a lineup that has been in a rut since dealing a couple of key pieces."
Be careful here though as Minnesota is 8-2 against the A's in their last ten.
Blue Jays vs. Pirates
PITCHING PROBABLES: Blue Jays: Max Scherzer (3-2, 3.83 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 52 strikeouts); Pirates: Mitch Keller (5-11, 4.13 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 112 strikeouts)
Scherzer limited the Cubs to one run over seven-plus innings in a victory Thursday. He took the loss in his previous start despite allowing just two runs over six innings against the Dodgers on Friday.
He's faced only a handful of Pirates batters but with 80 at bats and a .200 average, Scherzer has been solid, allowing just one home run.
Keller is solid as well. The Blue Jays career statistics vs. Mitch Keller are just 7-for-30 with one home run (.233).
Keller allowed six runs on eight hits in a loss to the Brewers on Wednesday and should rebound here.
The total was seeing mostly balanced action but had come down from 8.5 to 8. Both the Under and Toronto should be considered here. We will officially be on the Under 7.5.
Sunday August 17

Angles vs. Athletics -
"Jeffrey Springs' string of three straight quality starts was snapped last time out. That's been his pattern all season -- he'll pitch well for a stretch, then be hit hard. Look for the lefty to get back on track when the Athletics host the Los Angeles Angels. Springs sports a below-average strikeout rate, but he's squaring off with the lineup with the league's highest strikeout rate when a lefty is on the hill."
