AI Pick’em Playbook compares predictions from four AI models with current-conference player data and recent postgame evaluations to identify our featured Higher or Lower selections—see how the previous edition performed here.
The Titan Ultra Giant Risers meet the San Miguel Beermen on August 12 at 5:15 PM in a rematch of their July 29 meeting, when San Miguel’s offense overwhelmed Titan. That game provides valuable matchup context, but recent form remains important as both teams have played several games since.
For this edition, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot reviewed every available player market, each team’s previous six games, the July 29 matchup, and Rebanse Sports Media’s latest postgame evaluations. We prioritized markets with strong statistical support, clear roles, and AI consensus while applying the rule limiting the final card to no more than two players from each team.
Each AI pick shows both its predicted direction and confidence level: ★★★ High, ★★ Medium, and ★ Low.
George King — 31.5 Points
King remains San Miguel’s primary scoring weapon. Excluding his 19-point outing in which he played less than 11 minutes, his recent totals are 41, 31, 35, 35, and 46 points.
He also scored 35 points against Titan on July 29, including a huge 23-point third quarter. With four AI models backing the Higher and multiple recent games comfortably above the line, the main concern is another blowout reducing his minutes.
Final Pick: Higher
(AI Picks: ChatGPT — Higher ★★★ | Claude — Higher ★★★ | Gemini — Higher ★★★ | Copilot — Higher ★★★)
June Mar Fajardo — 11.5 Points
Fajardo has scored 10, 15, 6, 14, 5, and 9 points across his recent six-game sample, finishing below this line four times. More importantly, he scored just 6 points against Titan on July 29 and has followed that with recent outings of only five and nine points.
His overall impact remains significant, but San Miguel’s deep scoring options have reduced the need for Fajardo to carry the offense. His latest nine-point, 11-rebound performance reinforced that role.
Final Pick: Lower
(AI Picks: ChatGPT — Lower ★★★ | Claude — Lower ★★ | Gemini — Lower ★★★ | Copilot — Lower ★★)

John Sajonia — 11.5 Points
Sajonia has emerged as one of Titan’s more dependable local scorers. His recent six-game sample includes 11, 13, 8, 19, 13, and 13 points, with four games clearing the line.
He was especially productive against San Miguel on July 29, scoring 19 points, and has since recorded consecutive 13-point outings. His current conference average of 12.5 points also sits just above the market.
Final Pick: Higher
(AI Picks: ChatGPT — Higher ★★ | Claude — Higher ★★★ | Gemini — Higher ★★ | Copilot — Higher ★★)
Tirrell Brown II — 7.5 Rebounds
Brown has recorded 10, 10, 14, 7, 10, and 11 rebounds across his recent six games, clearing this line five times. Unlike many low-number prop markets, most of those wins came with a healthy margin rather than barely reaching eight rebounds.
The obvious warning is the July 29 matchup, when Brown grabbed only seven boards against San Miguel. Still, he has responded with double-digit rebounding performances since, including 11 in his latest appearance.
