Best Home Run picks for Friday
- Ryan Jeffers, Twins (+432, DraftKings)
- Mookie Betts, Dodgers (+575, Hard Rock Bet)
- Juan Soto, Mets (+325, Hard Rock Bet)
Ryan Jeffers, Twins (+432, DraftKings)
"Ryan Jeffers has the platoon advantage against left-handed Jacob Lopez and has been absolutely dominant against left-handed pitchers this season, boasting a .315 average with a .966 OPS in 67 plate appearances," Fetner said. "Right-handed batters are hitting a .931 OPS against Athletics starter Jacob Lopez in 195 plate appearances (vs. a .671 OPS against left-handed batters). Lopez had been struggling recently â a 7.15 ERA across his previous three starts â but had a better outing in his most recent start. We still think there's value here as the model expects some regression. Jeffers is batting .333 over his last five games at home and Jeffers has seen Lopez five times and is 2-for-5, including a home run â a limited but not unproductive look."

Mookie Betts, Dodgers (+575, Hard Rock Bet)
"Mookie Betts has two home runs over his last five games on the road," Fetner said. "Mookie Betts (bats R) has the platoon advantage against the Mets' left-handed Sean Manaea. Right-handed batters are hitting a .874 OPS against Manaea in 236 plate appearances (vs. a .628 OPS against left-handed batters). Manaea has surrendered six home runs over his last three starts. Betts has been an absolute menace against Manaea historically â 10-for-32 (.313 average) with a 1.153 OPS and three home runs."

"Juan Soto has the platoon advantage against the Dodgers' right-handed Roki Sasaki and has been absolutely dominant against right-handed pitchers this season, boasting a .287 average with a 1.017 OPS in 237 plate appearances, with 17 of his 21 home runs coming off right-handed pitching this season," Fetner said. "For context, he's only posting a .802 OPS against left-handed pitching, so this is clearly the better matchup for him. He's hitting 1.064 OPS at home this season. Sasaki has surrendered nine home runs over his last six starts. Sasaki has been struggling on the road â a 6.43 ERA over his last three starts, allowing 10 earned runs in 14 innings."
