Home Run Pick Analysis: Juan Soto & Elly De La Cruz
@Loughy_D Juan Soto – NYY: +255
RHP Griffin Canning has already surrendered seven home runs to lefty hitters this season. He has been generating only 33 percent ground balls, has a 17.1 percent HR/FB rate and a .222 xISO, while striking lefty batters out at a paltry 15 percent clip across 132 batters faced.
Meanwhile, 12 of Soto’s 14 home runs have come against right-handed pitchers. He doesn’t strike out, boasts a .266 xISO vs. righties and will be hitting inside the league’s third most homer-friendly venue to left-handed bats tonight in Anaheim’s Angel Stadium.
@is_sirois Elly De La Cruz – CIN: +520
