Joe O'Rico recommended Jorge Polanco (24 % rostered) as a middle‑infield add in 12‑team leagues, even with T‑Mobile Park muting offense. Polanco owns a 12 % barrel rate, career‑best 41 % hard‑hit rate, and walks at a double‑digit clip, supporting his typical 117‑124 WRC+ range from 2021‑23. Injuries sunk last season, but the underlying batted‑ball profile has rebounded, and his multi‑position eligibility helps patch MI holes while managers wait on names like Zach Neto. O'Rico views him as a steady OBP source with 15‑20 HR upside.

Joe Osbourne recommends Jorge Polanco over 1.5 total hits, runs, and RBI at -105 odds against Brady Singer and the Cincinnati Reds. Osbourne points to Polanco’s strong start (.366 batting average, .982 OPS in 11 games so far), prior career success against Singer (906 OPS and multiple home runs in 27 career plate appearances), and exceptional performance this season versus right-handed pitchers (OPS over 1,000 and 3 HR in 35 ABs). He also mentioned Polanco as a potential home-run bet at +400 odds, underscoring the potential upside in this matchup.

Kyle Kargel recommends betting Jorge Polanco to hit a home run on April 17 against the Reds. Polanco enjoys favorable success with an 8-27 career batting line and two home runs against Cincinnati's starting pitcher Brady Singer. Polanco has slugged an impressive .889 on the road this season and holds a .615 slugging percentage this month overall. Historically, he has been much better against right-handed pitching, hitting home runs once every 24 at-bats compared to every 31 at-bats against left-handed pitchers last season. Additionally, it's noted that Singer has struggled against left-handed batters, surrendering 15 of his 22 home runs allowed last season to lefties. Given these favorable splits and statistics, Kargel likes Polanco's chances to go deep, available at +420 odds as part of his daily home run prop picks.

Brian Howard targeted Jorge Polanco's total base prop against Astros pitcher Framber Valdez, noting Polanco's previous success against Valdez suggesting strong hitting upside. Howard specifically endorses Polanco's two-plus total base betting market, explicitly citing appealing historical matchup data as the rationale. Though he praises Valdez as elite, the specific matchup history indicates Polanco has a favorable hitter-pitcher dynamic that offers bettors valuable potential profits.

Just a Bet Outside liked the matchup for Jorge Polanco against Detroit's Casey Mize, emphasizing Polanco's past success with two home runs and a 5-for-14 record against Mize. Despite noting Mariners hitters typically haven't had strong matchups recently, this particular one stood out positively enough for consideration today in DFS and prop bets.
