The Showdown: Today's DFS Matchups You Can't Ignore

Let's take a look at the matchups that are sure to get your blood pumping.

🔥 Phillies 56-49 (-109) vs Marlins 57-49 (-111) O/U 8.5

With the Phillies' Taijuan Walker (4.06 ERA) going up against the Marlins' Jesus Luzardo (3.41 ERA), this is a game to watch. The Marlins' LoanDepot Park is a tough place for HRs, but Luzardo has the #12 highest strikeout rate in baseball. This could be a low-scoring game, but with the Marlins' slight edge, it's anyone's game.

❄️ Rays 64-44 (-142) vs Yankees 55-50 (+119) O/U 8.5

The Rays' Tyler Glasnow (3.36 ERA) is up against the Yankees' Domingo German (4.98 ERA). Yankee Stadium is a homer's paradise, and with Glasnow's high strikeout rate, this could be a high-scoring game. However, the Rays are one of the worst run-scoring teams in baseball, so the Yankees might have a chance here.

🔥 Brewers 57-49 (-208) vs Nationals 44-62 (+169) O/U 9.0

The Brewers' Corbin Burnes (3.46 ERA) is facing off against the Nationals' Jake Irvin (5.09 ERA). Burnes has a high strikeout rate, and Irvin is one of the worst starters in baseball. This could be a high-scoring game for the Brewers.

The Money Shot: Today's Top Pick

Out of the matchups above, I'm putting my money on the Brewers at -208. With Burnes' high strikeout rate and the Nationals' weak starting pitcher, this could be a high-scoring game for the Brewers. Place your bets, folks!

🏁 Home Run Prop Favorites

🥇Shohei Ohtani LAA +340

Shohei Ohtani is a no-brainer for the top spot. He's facing Charlie Morton, who has a decent ERA but still gives up a homer 2.0% of the time. Ohtani's homerun rate is a whopping 9.77%, the highest on this list. Plus, the wind at Truist Park is blowing out from center field, which could help carry a long ball just a bit further.

🥈Aaron Judge NYY +255

Aaron Judge is a solid bet for a homer. He's facing Tyler Glasnow, who has a higher ERA and gives up homers 3.2% of the time. Judge's homerun rate is an impressive 11.05%, and he's been hot recently with a homer in his last six at-bats. The wind at Yankee Stadium is also blowing out from center field, which could give any potential homers an extra push.

🥉Austin Riley ATL +350

Austin Riley is a good pick for the third spot. He's up against Griffin Canning, who has a higher ERA and gives up homers 4.5% of the time. Riley's homerun rate is 6.0%, and he's been on fire in the last two weeks with eight homers in 47 at-bats. The wind at Truist Park is blowing out from center field, which could help any potential homers.
