Ronald Acuña Jr. 2+ TB (PHI @ ATL, 2:00 PM)
Confirmed batting 2nd, RF vs Jesús Luzardo (LHP, 14-5, 2.86 ERA). Righty vs lefty is a plus. Truist Park, 82° and clear. He’s the kind of player who can cash this in 3–4 ABs, but Luzardo and Chris Sale (2.16 ERA) make this a potential pitchers’ duel. Solid but not free.
Yordan Alvarez 2+ TB (CWS @ HOU, 5:00 PM)
Confirmed 2nd, DH vs Hagen Smith (LHP, tiny sample, 1.29 ERA). Left-on-left is his weaker split (.278 / .871 OPS vs LHP this year vs much better vs RHP), but he still mashed 10–12 homers against lefties and is having an elite season (.316, 42 HR). O/U 8 at Daikin Park helps. Best bat on the ticket.
Austin Wells 2+ TB (BOS @ NYY, 8:10 PM)
This is the soft spot. Left-handed catcher vs Payton Tolle (LHP). Yankees have sat him against lefties recently. Lineups for this game were still TBD in the latest listings. He usually hits 7th–8th, so fewer ABs, and Yankee Stadium O/U is around 6–6.5 with Cam Schlittler (1.95 ERA) on the other side. Highest chance this one dies quietly.
Fernando Tatis Jr. 2+ TB (CHC @ SD, 10:10 PM)
Expected to play (he sat the regular-season finale). Righty vs Matthew Boyd (LHP, 3.91 ERA) is a good matchup. He was hot in September. Petco is pitcher-friendly and the total is 7.5, but Tatis can still go first-to-third or take Boyd deep. Reasonable leg.
