YRFI/NRFI (No: -127)
The Rangers have scored in the first inning at the eighth-lowest clip in baseball this season, and Los Angeles righty Grayson Rodriguez held the Los Angeles Dodgers off the board in the first in his season debut last time out. Additionally, Texas veteran Jacob deGrom is also eyeing statistical correction in the opening frame. He’s allowed four first-inning homers with a 1.010 OPS, so considering he’s only surrendered 10 total bombs and a .625 OPS overall, I’m expecting his early struggles to subside Friday. The Angels rank 28th in wOBA against righties, after all.

AZ -1.5 (+105)
Arizona checks every box tonight against a Rockies team it’s consistently dominated at home, winning 10 of the last 11 meetings in the desert. Michael Soroka has been dominant in Arizona with a 1.59 ERA across five home starts, and now draws a Colorado lineup ranked 27th in OPS against right-handed pitching over the past two weeks. On the other side, Tomoyuki Sugano has to navigate a D-backs offense leading MLB in runs scored over the last week, while Arizona also owns the clear bullpen edge.

Shea Langeliers o1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-115)
San Diego Padres starter Walker Buehler also has poorly rated average hitter matchup numbers in wOBA, ISO, and strikeout percentage. Over his last couple starts, Buehler has allowed right-handed hitters to make a ton of hard contact and elevate the baseball, posting just a 34.9% ground ball rate over the last 60 right-handed hitters faced. Shea Langeliers owns the third-highest arsenal coverage on the day among elite-rated hitters, crushing nearly 75% of Buehler's offerings. On top of that, he has been terrorizing right-handed pitching this season, owning a 16.19% barrel rate.

u7.5 (-125)
This matchup features two pitchers in decent form, especially Davis Martin, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in every outing since Opening Day. Trevor McDonald also owns a solid 2.37 ERA, while both offenses have struggled lately. Four of the last five meetings between these clubs have also cashed the Under.
CHW (-108)
Davis Martin has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, posting a 1.61 ERA and thriving on the road. Meanwhile, the Giants continue to struggle offensively, ranking last in runs scored and riding a three-game skid. With Trevor McDonald shaky lately at home, Chicago offers value.
