New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers
Juan Soto 1st Plate Appearance Exact Result: Home Run (+1100)
Reese Olson has struggled mightily against Soto in his few chances against the lefty. In just three plate appearances, the Yankee outfielder has two home runs against the Detroit right-hander.
Minnesota Twins vs. Boston Red Sox
Twins Run Scored 1st inning: No (-425)
The Twins have won 10 straight, but the Red Sox may pose a problem for Minnesota on Friday — at least in the early going. Boston has not allowed a first-inning run in 9 straight games.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Atlanta Braves
Freddie Freeman 1st Plate Appearance Exact Result: Double (+1000)
It seems Charlie Morton can’t quite figure out his former Braves teammate. Across 20 plate appearances, Freeman is hitting .500 with three doubles against the Atlanta righty.
Dodgers Run Scored 1st Inning: Yes (+185)
Given Morton’s struggles against Freeman, that also gives the Dodgers a chance to open the game with a productive first frame.
It also doesn’t hurt that the Dodgers have logged a run in the first inning in 15 games this season. That’s tied for the highest total in baseball.
