Friday’s Best MLB Underdog Fantasy Player Predictions
Juan Soto HIGHER 8.5 Fantasy Points
Juan Soto’s been overshadowed by his MVP frontrunner teammate. Yet, the left-handed-hitting outfielder is having a huge season at the dish. According to FanGraphs, in 596 plate appearances this year, Soto has hit 37 homers and stolen five bases with 108 runs, 95 RBIs, a .421 OBP, .299 ISO, 183 wRC+, .427 wOBA and .469 xwOBA.
Additionally, Soto’s done his best work at home with the platoon advantage. In 184 plate appearances against righties at home this year, Soto has hit 11 homers with a .440 OBP, .298 ISO and 197 wRC+.
Aaron Judge HIGHER 9.5 Fantasy Points
Soto’s “higher” selection for fantasy points correlates with Aaron Judge’s prop. And, of course, Judge is the teammate I alluded to being the MVP frontrunner. While Judge’s full-season numbers are excellent, he’s somehow kicked it up lately.
In Judge’s previous 112 plate appearances, he’s had a .536 OBP, .488 ISO and 277 wRC+. He’s an unstoppable force and a mediocre pitcher such as Erick Fedde is unlikely to cool off Judge.
Jhonkensy Noel HIGHER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Jhonensy Noel is a nightmare for lefties. In 48 career plate appearances against them, the rookie slugger has hit seven homers with a .354 OBP, .548 ISO and 219 wRC+. Furthermore, he’s in superb form. In Noel’s previous 67 plate appearances, he’s hit six homers with 13 runs, 12 RBIs, a .276 batting average, .373 OBP, .345 ISO and 178 wRC+. He’s exceeded 1.5 hits plus runs and RBIs in five of his past eight starts.
Yordan Alvarez HIGHER 8.0 Fantasy Points
Yordan Alvarez is tearing the cover off the ball this year, and he’s turned it up lately. In his previous 102 plate appearances, he’s hit eight homers with 16 runs, 16 RBIs, .471 OBP, .326 ISO and 223 wRC+. Additionally, Alvarez has hit 22 homers with a .391 OBP, .265 ISO and 161 wRC+ in 368 plate appearances against righties this season.
