PRO Projections reveal some interesting insights for Friday’s matchup between the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves.
Basically, our data points to a potential breakout for the Minnesota lineup.
We see considerable value in three Twins players to hit a home run on Friday at the current odds. Not only is the top pick in PRO a Twins hitter, two more under-the-radar candidates made the cut as sneaky bets to launch one out of Truist Park Friday.
But I’m locking in Friday’s picks as Carlos Correa and Ryan Jeffers to hit home runs.
Although neither Correa nor Jeffers has gone yard this season, PRO Projections suggest that Friday might be the turning point.
Carlos Correa, for instance, is offered at +800 odds to hit a home run at FanDuel. According to our models, Correa has a projected probability of hitting 0.17 homers today, offering a solid edge to bettors.
Similarly, Ryan Jeffers is priced at +750, with a projection of 0.18 homers, presenting another attractive value opportunity.
The weather in Atlanta could play a role in these projections. With temperatures at a warm 81 degrees, it’s quite a change from the colder conditions in Minnesota, where the Twins have often played in environments not conducive to home runs.
Furthermore, Atlanta’s starting pitcher, Bryce Elder, doesn’t excel in generating strikeouts or whiffs, which may provide both Correa and Jeffers additional chances to swing for the fences.
Pick: Carlos Correa Over 0.5 Home Runs | Ryan Jeffers Over 0.5 Home Runs
