Boston Red Sox vs. Texas Rangers: Triston Casas to Record an RBI

The Boston Red Sox are set to face the Texas Rangers, with a 4.5 implied run total and -106 odds on the over. Triston Casas, the team’s cleanup hitter, has +150 odds to record an RBI.

Boston will be up against Jack Leiter, a relatively inexperienced pitcher who has struggled in his major league career thus far. He has given up 35 earned runs in just 35 2/3 innings.

Why Triston Casas is a Strong Bet

Leiter’s performance against left-handed hitters has been particularly poor, with a 47.5% fly-ball rate and only a 15.1% strikeout rate.

Casas, on the other hand, excelled against right-handed pitchers last season, boasting a .231 ISO and a 38.0% fly-ball rate. At Fenway Park, his numbers were even more impressive: a .295 ISO, .538 SLG, and 130 wRC+ against righties.

Despite a slow start on Opening Day, where the top of Boston’s lineup went 1-for-16 against Nathan Eovaldi, expect a turnaround against Leiter. With three lefties at the top of the lineup, Casas should find himself in prime position to bat in a run.

Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks: Josh Naylor to Record Two Bases

The Chicago Cubs dominated the Arizona Diamondbacks on Opening Day, scoring 10 runs. The Diamondbacks will look to bounce back on Friday with Josh Naylor, who has +124 odds to record two bases.

Jameson Taillon will be making his 2025 debut for the Cubs, and his second-half performance last season leaves room for optimism for Arizona fans.

Josh Naylor’s Potential for Success

Taillon posted a 4.38 SIERA and allowed 1.15 home runs per nine innings in the latter half of last season. He was particularly vulnerable on the road, with a 4.58 ERA and a .316 wOBA allowed.

Against left-handed hitters, Taillon surrendered a .317 wOBA, .428 SLG, and 1.41 home runs per nine innings.

Naylor, who hit 27 doubles and 31 home runs last season, excelled against right-handed pitchers with a .224 ISO and a 124 wRC+.

Playing at the hitter-friendly Chase Field, Naylor is well-positioned to take advantage of Taillon’s weaknesses and record at least two bases.

Detroit Tigers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers: Jack Flaherty to Record Six Strikeouts

Jack Flaherty is back with the Detroit Tigers and will face his former team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, to open the 2025 campaign. Flaherty, who had a strong 2024 season, is poised for a standout performance with +124 odds to record six strikeouts.

Flaherty’s Strong Track Record

Flaherty posted a 3.00 xFIP, 3.10 SIERA, and a 29.9% strikeout rate last season. In 18 starts with Detroit, he maintained a 2.95 ERA, 2.60 xFIP, and a 32.0% strikeout rate, averaging 11.22 strikeouts per nine innings.

He struck out at least six batters in 15 of his 18 starts with Detroit, making him a reliable bet for strikeouts.

Though the Dodgers had a 22.0% strikeout rate against right-handed pitchers last year, Flaherty’s recent form suggests he’s up to the challenge. He tossed six scoreless innings on nearly 80 pitches in his final spring training game, indicating top form entering the season.
