BREAK IT DOWN:
(Stats taken from DraftKings Sportsbook’s Stats Hub)
Munetaka Murakami 1+ Home Run (+303): Murakami and the White Sox are home in Chicago, facing the Mariners this weekend. Murakami trails Aaron Judge by just one homer for the MLB lead, and he has a much better matchup than Judge on Friday, which is why he’s one of the most bet props of the night. The 26-year-old lefty from Japan has nine homers in his last 18 games with a 66.7% hard-hit rate and a 21.4% barrel rate. He has hit 10 of his 14 homers this season against righties, and he’ll face one on Friday in Mariners’ starter Emerson Hancock. While Hancock has been good overall with a 2.59 ERA in his seven starts, he has also allowed seven home runs, including four to left-handed hitters. Lefties are hitting only .221 against him but have taken him yard four times. Murakami has strong metrics to back up his power surge, and he’s a solid play at 3:1 to go yard on Friday night.
Matt Olson 1+ Home Run (+313): In one of the best matchups on the board, the Braves and Dodgers start their series at Dodger Stadium this Friday. Olson is getting plenty of attention since he has showcased great power this season with 13 homers in his 32 games with a .370 ISO and a .445 wOBA. Olson has a 20.2% barrel rate on the season, which would be the highest mark of his career by a wide margin. He has six homers in his last 10 games with a 63.0% hard-hit rate and 29.6% barrel rate over that timeframe. He’ll take on Emmet Sheehan and the Phillies are on the afternoon slate, facing the Marlins in Miami. Schwarber has hit 11 homers on the season, including three in his last five games. He moved to the leadoff spot on Friday night but went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts. That disappointing showing didn’t stop his team from still winning, 6-5. On Saturday, he’ll look to bounce back against Max Meyer, who has a 3.30 ERA and 3.31 FIP in his six starts this year. He has let lefties hit one homer this year but has held them to a .194 batting average. The public still likes Schwarber to bounce back with a bomb on Saturday afternoon, though, and he brings nice value at almost 3:1.
Juan Soto 1+ Home Run (+245): Soto and the Mets continue their trip to take on the NL West, heading from the rarified air of Coors Field to Chase Field, where they get a great matchup with Ryne Nelson, as I laid out in my Top MLB DFS Stacks. Nelson has give up 21 runs (16 earned) in 10 innings at Chase Field this season with a .367 batting average and .735 SLG against him. Lefties like Soto have hit four of the seven homers he has allowed this season, and Soto is 3-for-12 with a triple and two homers against him in the past. Soto is also heating up with three dingers in his last 10 games and he seems to be settling in as the team’s fill-in leadoff hitter while Francisco Lindor (calf) is out.
