Eovaldi has a plus matchup and favorable betting info tonight. The Braves are tied for 15th in wRC+ (102) with a 22.4 K% versus righties and tied for 22nd in wRC+ (93) with a 22.2 K% on the road in 2025. Atlanta was also tied for 15th in wRC+ (99) with a 24.2 K% in the previous 30 days. Thus, the Rangers are -162, and the game’s total is 8.0 runs.
Logan Webb has a less favorable matchup than Eovaldi. The Mets are sixth in wRC+ (114) with a 20.8 K% versus righties and eighth in wRC+ (101) with a 21.3 K% on the road this year, making them a lousy matchup based on their season-long marks. However, New York was tied for 18th in wRC+ (97) with a 22.6 K% in the previous 30 days.
Webb is equipped to tie up even good offenses, namely when he toes the slab at home. The veteran righty has had a 2.60 ERA, 2.83 xFIP, 1.07 WHIP, 4.1 BB% and 22.4 K% in 166.1 innings at home since last season. Finally, the Giants are -136, and the game’s total is a pitcher-friendly 7.5 runs.
Jose Berrios is a volatile pitching option, making him a GPP-only option. Still, he’s had a rock-solid 3.76 ERA, albeit with a 4.35 xFIP, 1.20 WHIP, 7.2 BB% and 19.4 K% in 155.2 innings on the road since last year.
Berrios’ matchup is slightly undesirable but not a nightmare. The Tigers are tied for 10th in wRC+ (104) with a 23.5 K% versus righties and tied for seventh in wRC+ (114) with a 22.9 K% at home this season. Detroit was also tied for 13th in wRC+ (101) with a 23.7 K% in the previous 30 days. Additionally, the Blue Jays are listed as -124 favorites, and the game’s total is 8.5 runs.
Suggested Lineup Stacks
Taijuan Walker‘s 3.77 ERA in 10 starts this year is notably better than his 4.46 xFIP and 4.62 SIERA. The veteran righty also has a 1.50 WHIP, 9.4 BB% and 18.2 K% in his starts this season. Including Walker’s work in relief, he’s ceded a .312 wOBA to lefties and a .333 wOBA to righties this year. Furthermore, Philadelphia’s relievers have the ninth-highest ERA this year, enhancing the appeal of stacking the Bronx Bombers.
- Home (Globe Life Field)
- Game Total/Moneyline: 8.0 Runs/TEX -162
Joey Wentz has made 26 relief appearances and one start spanning 41 innings across three teams this year. Despite the benefit of pitching in relief, the 27-year-old lefty has a 5.71 ERA, 4.23 xERA, 4.91 xFIP and 4.59 SIERA this season. The 116 right-handed batters who’ve faced Wentz this year have crushed him for a .362 wOBA. The righties from the Rangers should light up Wentz.
Core Studs
- Aaron Judge has launched 37 long-balls with 90 runs, 84 RBIs, six stolen bases, a .453 OBP, .372 ISO, .473 wOBA, .460 xwOBA and 211 wRC+ in 455 plate appearances this season.
- Giancarlo Stanton has hit five homers with 11 runs, 16 RBIs, a .361 OBP, .274 ISO, .380 wOBA and 147 wRC+ in his previous 72 plate appearances.
- Wyatt Langford has swatted 11 homers with a .335 OBP, .230 ISO, .335 wOBA and 119 wRC+ in 218 career plate appearances against southpaws.
Value Plays/Punts
- Josh Jung has ripped 14 round-trippers with a .331 OBP, .230 ISO, .364 wOBA and 136 wRC+ in 239 plate appearances against lefties since 2023.
- Carlos Correa has mashed 14 taters with a .366 OBP, .227 ISO, .371 wOBA and 141 wRC+ in 304 plate appearances against lefties since 2023.
- According to MiLB.com, Brice Matthews had a .979 OPS in 75 at-bats against lefties in Triple-A this season. He had a .929 OPS in 75 at-bats against lefties across multiple minor-league levels last season.

In addition to Judge’s excellent numbers this season, he also has a track record of destroying righties. Judge has recorded a .434 OBP, .349 ISO, .453 wOBA and 200 wRC+ against right-handed pitching since 2023.
Even though Walker is more giving to right-handed batters than lefties, the 32-year-old righty has ceded a .312 wOBA to 138 lefties this season. Meanwhile, Jazz Chisholm has had a .333 OBP, .245 ISO, .358 wOBA and 129 wRC+ against righties since 2023. Chisholm also has a .342 OBP, .255 ISO, .364 wOBA, .386 xwOBA and 136 wRC+ in 296 plate appearances this season.
Jung’s excellence against lefties, coupled with Wentz’s ineptitude against righties, is the primary reason for selecting this higher pick. However, Jung is also in good form. He has tallied 10 hits, five runs, six RBIs, a .278 batting average, .316 OBP, .167 ISO, .331 wOBA and 113 wRC+ in his previous 38 plate appearances.
