- Spencer Torkelson, Tigers (+450, Hard Rock Bet)
- Dansby Swanson, Cubs (+560, FanDuel)
Juan Soto, Mets (+350, Hard Rock Bet)
"Juan Soto has the platoon advantage against Royals right-handed pitcher Stephen Kolek and has been absolutely dominant against right-handed pitchers this season, boasting a .303 average with a 1.059 OPS in 203 plate appearances, with 16 of his 20 home runs coming off right-handed pitching this season," Fetner said. "For context, he's only posting a .847 OPS against left-handed pitching, so this is clearly the better matchup for him. He's hitting 1.115 OPS at home this season."

Spencer Torkelson, Tigers (+450, Hard Rock Bet)
"Spencer Torkelson has the platoon advantage against Athletics left-handed pitcher Jeffrey Springs and is posting a .858 OPS against left-handed pitching this season," Fetner noted. "Springs has surrendered 12 home runs over his last six starts, including five multi-homer outings. Torkelson has seen Springs four times and is 1-for-4 with a home run â a small sample, but the bat got to him."

Dansby Swanson, Cubs (+560, FanDuel)
"Dansby Swanson (bats R) faces a same-side right-handed pitcher â no platoon edge, so the other factors need to carry the case," Fetner said. "His numbers against right-handed pitching are modest this season (.713 OPS), but the model still sees value here. Baltimore's Dean Kremer has surrendered five home runs over his last three starts."
