Best Home Run picks for Thursday
- Amed Rosario, Yankees (+760, DraftKings)
- Bryce Harper, Phillies (+400, Hard Rock Bet)
- Alec Burleson, Cardinals (+500, Hard Rock Bet)
Amed Rosario, Yankees (+760, DraftKings)
"Amed Rosario was brought in to the Yankees to hit left-handed pitching and while he's actually been much better against RHPs this season, regression to the mean suggests he's due to start hitting lefties," Fetner said. "He's hitting .281 with a .869 OPS on the road this season, compared to .217 and .671 at home. Rosario also has an .833 OPS at night compared to a .652 OPS in day games, and he plays on the road at night in this game. Red Sox starter Connelly Early has been struggling recently, allowing 12 earned runs in 14 â innings over his last three starts, including five home runs."

Bryce Harper, Phillies (+400, Hard Rock Bet)
"Bryce Harper is hitting .298 with a 1.030 OPS against right-handed pitchers this season, with 14 of his 17 home runs coming off RHPs," Fetner noted. "Nationals starter Cade Cavalli has given up four of his six home runs this season to left-handed batters. Left-handed batters are hitting .303 with a .807 OPS against Cavalli this season (vs. a .638 OPS against right-handed batters). Cavalli has a 5.40 ERA over his last three starts, allowing three home runs in that three-start span."

Alec Burleson, Cardinals (+500, Hard Rock Bet)
"Alec Burleson has the platoon advantage against right-handed Zac Gallen and has been absolutely dominant against right-handed pitchers this season, boasting a .335 average with a 1.015 OPS in 238 plate appearances, with 12 of his 13 home runs coming off right-handed pitching this season," Fetner said. "For context, he's only posting a .449 OPS against left-handed pitching, so this is clearly the better matchup for him. Left-handed batters are hitting a .924 OPS against Gallen in 191 plate appearances (vs. a .808 OPS against right-handed batters). Gallen has surrendered nine home runs over his last five starts, with three multi-HR outings in that span in 26 â innings. Burleson is in an eight-game home run drought at home, so we believe he is due."
