Game On: Today's DFS Showdowns to Watch

Here are a few matchups that have caught our eye:

🔥 White Sox (+155) vs Orioles (-188) O/U 9.0

With the White Sox's Dylan Cease (4.87 ERA) facing off against the Orioles' Kyle Gibson (5.00 ERA), this game is set to be a high-scoring affair. Cease has the 26th highest strikeout rate in baseball, averaging 6.26 per start.

❄️ Angels (+152) vs Phillies (-184) O/U 9.5

The Angels' Reid Detmers (5.03 ERA) is up against the Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez (3.33 ERA). The Phillies are ranked #1 for home runs per game, and Detmers is one of the worst starters in baseball, allowing 5.0 runs per game. This could be a low-scoring game.

🔥 Guardians (+132) vs Twins (-158) O/U 8.0

The Guardians' Tanner Bibee (3.01 ERA) is facing the Twins' Sonny Gray (3.00 ERA). The Twins are ranked #3 for home runs per game, and the Guardians are one of the worst run-scoring teams in baseball. This game could go over the over/under.

Matchup of the Day

Our favorite pick of the day is the Angels at +152. Despite Detmers' struggles, the Angels have shown resilience and could pull off an upset against the Phillies. 🍀

🏁 Home Run Prop Favorites

🥇Shohei Ohtani LAA +450

Shohei Ohtani is a no-brainer for the top spot. With a HR percentage of 9.07%, he's a homerun machine. He's facing Cristopher Sanchez who has an ERA of 3.33 and gives up a homer to 4.3% of batters faced. The weather at Citizens Bank Park is partly cloudy with a 15MPH wind blowing towards the outfield, which could help carry the ball.

🥈Kyle Schwarber PHI +330

Kyle Schwarber is another strong choice with a HR percentage of 7.77%. He's up against Reid Detmers who has an ERA of 5.03 and gives up a homer to 3.4% of batters faced. The weather at Citizens Bank Park is partly cloudy with a 15MPH wind blowing towards the outfield, which could give Schwarber's hits some extra distance.

🥉Davis Schneider TOR +575

Davis Schneider is a bit of a wildcard with a HR percentage of 13.33%, but he's only had 53 at-bats. He's facing Patrick Corbin who has an ERA of 4.93 and gives up a homer to 4.3% of batters faced. The weather at Rogers Centre is overcast with a 21MPH wind blowing towards left field, which could be favorable for Schneider.
