Best Home Run picks for Friday
- Justin Foscue, Rangers (+750, Hard Rock Bet)
- Griffin Conine, Marlins (+450, bet365)
- Ryan Vilade, Rays (+650, Hard Rock Bet)
Justin Foscue, Rangers (+750, Hard Rock Bet)
“Justin Foscue is hitting .315 with a 1.003 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season, with six of his eight home runs coming off LHPs,” Fetner said. “He has one home run over his last 10 home games, but he has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .333 over his last 10 games overall. Angels starter Reid Detmers has given up 13 of his 17 home runs this season to right-handed batters. Detmers has been sharp over his last three starts with a 2.00 ERA, but we still like the matchup here. Small sample, but Foscue is 1-for-7 against Detmers in his career, and that hit was a home run.” Back Foscue to go yard on Friday by clicking here to bet at Hard Rock Bet, where new users get $150 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins:
Griffin Conine, Marlins (+450, bet365)
“Griffin Conine is hitting .282 with a 1.002 OPS against right-handed pitchers this season, with 14 of his 14 home runs coming off RHPs,” Fetner noted. “He’s hitting .346 with a 1.157 OPS at home this season, compared to .211 and .714 on the road. He has been on a tear lately, hitting five home runs over his last 10 home games. He has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .333 over his last 10 games. Washington’s Brad Lord has given up five of his seven home runs this season to left-handed batters. Left-handed batters are hitting .266 with a .820 OPS against Lord this season (vs. a .502 OPS against right-handed batters).” Back Conine to go yard on Friday by clicking here to bet at bet365, where new users get $150 in bonus bets after making a $10 bet:

“Ryan Vilade has the platoon advantage against Baltimore left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers, hitting .281 with a .868 OPS against left-handed pitching this season in 126 plate appearances, with seven of his 11 home runs coming off left-handed pitching this season,” Fetner said. “One thing to note: he’s been significantly better at home (.933 OPS) than on the road (.667 OPS) — he’s on the tougher side of that split today. Vilade has seen Trevor Rogers four times and has handled him well in that limited look — 4-for-4, including a home run.” Back Vilade to go yard on Friday by clicking here to bet at Hard Rock Bet, where new users get $150 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins:
