Jesus Sanchez enters tonight in excellent form against right-handed pitching, posting a .433 wOBA and 44.44% barrel rate over his last 30 plate appearances. He draws a favorable matchup against Chris Bassitt, who has struggled recently against left-handed hitters. Over his last 60 batters faced, lefties have generated plenty of hard contact and elevated the baseball consistently, leading to strong expected numbers across the board. Sanchez also carries nearly 75% arsenal coverage against Bassitt’s pitch mix, adding another layer of confidence. Given his recent form and the matchup metrics, this sets up as a strong spot for Sanchez.

Patrick Corbin has also struggled recently against right-handed hitters. Over the last 60 batters he has faced, the 36-year-old has allowed 47.8% hard contact while producing just a 34.8% ground ball rate. Opposing hitters also own a .354 xBA, .608 xSLG, and .343 xwOBA during that span. I believe Ward is due for a bounce-back performance, and this feels like a great spot for the veteran outfielder to get rolling again.

As it relates to his home run ability, Pete Crow-Armstrong ranks in the 88th percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Pete Crow-Armstrong has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (76% of the time), but he is projected to hit 1st on the lineup card in this matchup.. As far as temperature and humidity go, the 4th-most favorable hitting weather on the schedule is expected for this game.. The wind projects to be blowing out to RF at 8.1-mph in this match-up, the 2nd-strongest of the day for hitters.. Hitting from the opposite that Paul Skenes throws from, Pete Crow-Armstrong will have an edge in today's game.

A pitcher's duel breaks out in Texas. Nathan Eovaldi thrives from a strikeouts perspective, while Spencer Arrighetti pitches into the sixth and perhaps beyond.

I’m siding with the underdog Astros here as they’re clearly the hotter team entering this matchup. Spencer Arrighetti has been outstanding, allowing two earned runs or fewer in all seven of his starts this season while Houston has won six of those games. He also dominated Texas earlier this month, tossing 7.1 scoreless innings while allowing just one hit. Nathan Eovaldi has been decent, but he now draws an Astros lineup that ranks third in OPS with an MLB-best 14 home runs over the past week.

Zack Wheeler may be off to a great start in 2026, but he’s about to experience a serious road bump at Chavez Ravine. The Dodgers boast a career .318/.427/.557 slash line against the veteran right-hander, and with Justin Wrobleski holding his own in the LAD rotation, I’m all over the home team on Friday night. Playable up to -130.

Junior Caminero continues to crush the baseball, hitting .409 over the last week with 13 home runs on the season. Ryan Weathers has allowed all eight of his homers this year to right-handed batters, which sets up well for the powerful Tampa Bay slugger.

Moneyline

TB (+115)

Pick made: 5 days ago

Drew Rasmussen vs. the New York Yankees is a mismatch on paper — the righty is 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA and 51 punchouts in eight career games against New York. Coming off a thrilling comeback win on Friday, the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays are primed to keep the foot on the gas behind their dynamic arm to create more separation in the AL East.
