16. Roman Anthony — BOS
LF · vs TOR (Scherzer) · Fenway Park · 6:45 PM

The Red Sox breakout outfielder bats at Fenway — one of baseball's most hitter-friendly venues — against Toronto's Max Scherzer (1-4, 10.23 ERA per MLB probable pitcher data).

DH/OF · vs TOR (Scherzer ERA 10.23) · Fenway Park · 6:45 PM
HIT
-145
MLB.com Opening Day rosters confirm Duran bats 3rd for the Red Sox. Opposing pitcher Max Scherzer carries a 10.23 ERA this season per FanDuel Research's probable pitcher data — the worst ERA of any starter on today's slate. At Fenway vs a struggling Scherzer, every BOS hitter is elevated but Duran's middle-of-the-order slot makes him the volume pick.

1B · vs TOR (Scherzer ERA 10.23) · Fenway Park · 6:45 PM
HIT
-140

Covers confirm Edman will get the switch-hitter platoon advantage vs right-handed starter Shohei Ohtani tonight, batting from his stronger left side. Consistent contact hitter with elite on-base skills, Edman generates a reliable floor in any lineup spot against a Dodger Stadium park that elevates offensive numbers.

HIT
-135
FanDuel Research confirm Aranda at +440 HR odds with 11 HR in 68 games (14.7% HR rate). A hard-contact DH who ranks among Tampa Bay's most consistent offensive producers. His hit probability stays high because pitchers must work in the zone around him given the power threat — reliable floor for any hit prop.
24. Nolan Arenado — ARI
3B · vs LAA · Chase Field · 8 HR / 67 games · 3:40 PM
HIT
-138
FanDuel Research confirm Arenado at +540 HR odds with 8 HR in 67 games following his trade from St. Louis to Arizona. He plays at home at Chase Field today — the #3 park for RHB offense per Covers.

Goldschmidt rounds out the list as a standalone and parlay value pick — .287/.524, 150 wRC+, home vs LHP Kay at Yankee Stadium (115 park factor), back-to-back HR opportunity after Tuesday's two-run blast. One of the purest matchup-driven hit props on Wednesday's full slate.
