The Showdowns: Today's DFS Matchups to Watch

🔥 Rays 80-52 (+102) vs Marlins 66-65 (-122) 7.5 O/U

The Rays are bringing Aaron Civale to the mound with his 2.59 ERA, while the Marlins counter with Sandy Alcantara and his 4.21 ERA. This game is at Marlins Park, one of the toughest parks for home runs. This could be a low-scoring game, making the under a good bet.

The Angels are struggling with Tyler Anderson's 5.35 ERA, while the Phillies are in a better position with Michael Lorenzen's 3.69 ERA. With the Phillies ranking #2 for home runs and the Angels' bats ranking #29 overall, this game could go over.

The Yankees are bringing Michael King and his 3.13 ERA, while the Tigers counter with Tarik Skubal and his 4.46 ERA. With Comerica Park being tough for home runs and the Yankees struggling to score, this game could go under.

Pick of the Day

My favorite pick of the day? I'm liking the Phillies at -160. With their home run ranking and the Angels' struggling bats, I think they've got a good shot at taking this one. 🍀

🏁 Home Run Prop Favorites

🥇Aaron Judge NYY +290.0

Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees is my top pick. He's facing Tarik Skubal, who has a high ERA of 4.46 and only gives up a homer 0.6% of the time. Judge has been on fire lately with a 10.74% HR rate and 7 homers in the last two weeks. The wind at Comerica Park is blowing at 92.5 degrees, which should help carry the ball out of the park.

🥈Kyle Schwarber PHI +310.0

Next up is Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies. He's up against Tyler Anderson, who has a high ERA of 5.35 and gives up a homer 2.5% of the time. Schwarber has a solid HR rate of 7.63% and has hit 6 homers in the last two weeks. The wind at Citizens Bank Park is blowing at 37.5 degrees, which could help Schwarber's chances of hitting a homer.

🥉Max Muncy LAD +350.0

Finally, I'm going with Max Muncy of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He's facing Merrill Kelly, who has a relatively low ERA of 3.10 and gives up a homer 3.1% of the time. However, Muncy has an impressive HR rate of 8.20% and has hit 3 homers in the last two weeks. The wind at Dodger Stadium is blowing at -12.5 degrees, which might not be ideal, but Muncy's recent performance and high HR rate make him a good bet.
