"Luis Garcia Jr. has the platoon advantage against Seattle right-handed pitcher Bryce Miller and is posting a .945 OPS against right-handed pitching this season," Fetner said. "For context, he's only posting a .645 OPS against left-handed pitching, so this is clearly the better matchup for him. Miller has surrendered six home runs over his last five starts, including one multi-homer outing."

"Eduardo Valencia offers excellent value at +760 on DK, especially when compared to other books listing him as low as +425," Fetner said. "Valencia has three home runs over his last five games at home. Guardians starter Foster Griffin has surrendered four home runs over his last two starts. Griffin had been pitching well, but got hit hard in his most recent start, giving up six earned runs."

Victor Mesa Jr., Rays (+450, Hard Rock Bet)
"Victor Mesa Jr. has two home runs over his last five games on the road," Fetner said. "Mesa Jr. (bats L) has the platoon advantage against A's right-handed pitcher Jack Perkins, posting a .780 OPS against right-handed pitching this season. Perkins allows a .804 OPS to left-handed hitters in 182 plate appearances. Perkins has been struggling at home â an 8.16 ERA over his last 3 starts, allowing 13 earned runs in 14 â innings. The home run index is a 10 out of 10 at Sutter Health Park today, which could turn a long fly ball into a home run."
