Baseball Player Projections for Tuesday, focusing on Josh Naylor, Addison Barger, and Paul Skenes
In tonight's exciting matchup between the Chicago Cubs and the Toronto Blue Jays, two standout players are expected to shine.
Josh Naylor, the Seattle Mariners' slugger, has been in exceptional form, particularly against right-handed pitching. This season, he has smashed 11 out of his 15 home runs against righties, and his recent performance has been impressive, with three home runs in his last five games. Naylor's batting average stands at a solid .292, with an OPS of .939. His prop bets on Fanatics favour him to hit a home run tonight, with odds of +430, and to record over 1.5 total bases, with odds of +350.
On the other side of the field, Addison Barger, the Cubs' rising star, is also generating buzz. Barger ranks in the 95th percentile in hard-hit percentage, 94th in average exit velocity, and 82nd in barrel rate. He has also shown a preference for right-handed pitching, with 11 of his 15 home runs this season coming against them. Barger's prop bet on Fanatics for over 1.5 total bases is currently at +125.
However, the pitching matchup promises to be a challenging one. Ben Brown, who was recently moved to the bullpen, is back in the rotation for the Cubs. Paul Skenes, on the other hand, will take the mound for the Blue Jays. Skenes has a prop bet for under 17.5 outs recorded, with odds of +110 on DraftKings, suggesting a potential pitching workload or effectiveness angle.
The Blue Jays, known for their high offensive production at home, average 5.3 runs per game. Despite this, Paul Skenes presents a tough challenge for many teams, including the Brewers, who have been the hottest team in baseball, winning their last 10 games and 25 of their last 29 games. Skenes' shortest outing in recent memory came against the Brewers, where he allowed four earned runs in four innings.
Left-handed batters have been particularly successful against Ben Brown, with a .291 average, 17 doubles, three triples, 11 home runs, and a .784 OPS allowed. Josh Naylor, who has a 6-for-9 record with a double and a home run against Dean Kremer, a Blue Jays pitcher, could potentially capitalise on this trend.
Dean Kremer, however, can be vulnerable against left-handed batters, with a .270 average, 17 doubles, three triples, 11 home runs, and a .784 OPS allowed. This could present an opportunity for Addison Barger, who has 17 of his 18 home runs this season against right-handed pitchers.
In summary, tonight's game promises to be a thrilling contest with Josh Naylor and Addison Barger as key players to watch. Ben Brown and Paul Skenes will face off in a challenging pitching matchup, with left-handed batters potentially having an advantage against Brown. Dean Kremer, on the other hand, could struggle against right-handed hitters like Josh Naylor and Addison Barger.
