It's The Final Round expressed hesitation regarding Juan Soto versus Chris Bassitt due to Bassitt's extensive pitch arsenal. While Soto has been in good form with hits in six of his last seven games, the matchup poses concerns. Although Soto hits well against some of Bassitt's primary pitches (.387 vs sinker, .319 vs cutter), the difficulty lies in Bassitt's ability to throw potentially eight different pitches, complicating plate approach for Soto. The historical head-to-head numbers also temper optimism, with Soto only managing two hits in nine at-bats over three years (.222 avg). Thus, this matchup is currently designated only as a lean rather than a strong recommendation.

Just A Bet Outside highlighted Juan Soto as a strong hitter matchup against pitcher Kevin Gausman. Soto has an impressive career line against Gausman, going 8-for-15 with one home run. Beyond that impressive batting average, Soto has also managed to draw an incredible 12 walks versus Gausman, showcasing his strong plate discipline and his ability to get on base consistently in these matchups. Bettors and DFS players should strongly consider prioritizing Soto in lineups or betting scenarios when facing Gausman based on this strong historical performance.

It's The Final Round likes Juan Soto's opportunity against Kevin Gausman due to Soto's elite success against limited pitch types. Gausman primarily throws two pitches, simplifying Soto’s plate approach. Soto bats .339 versus four-seam fastballs (59% usage by Gausman), making Gausman's favorite pitch a favorable matchup. Although Gausman’s split-finger is strong (just a .162 average against), Final Round emphasizes Soto’s stellar history against Gausman (5-for-6, .833 average past three years). They caution Soto’s tendency to draw many walks, potentially limiting his hitting opportunities, but still strongly advise targeting Soto for betting and DFS plays, especially prop bets involving walks or on-base scenarios.

Joe Piapisa confidently called Juan Soto to homer, listed at appealing +380 odds, emphasizing this as his favorite home run pick for today. Although referencing his slow start to the homer contest, he humorously noted he's just giving others a head start, underscoring his faith in Soto's home run potential to get himself back on track. Joe clearly sees Soto as excellent betting value for today's slate.

Vaughn Dalzell identified Juan Soto as a prime value bet at +2800 odds to lead MLB in home runs. He cited Soto posting career-high power metrics, including a barrel rate peaking at 19.7% and a career-high 41 home runs last season. Dalzell stressed that Soto's high-profile move from the Yankees to the Mets, coupled with him entering his prime, sets the stage perfectly for another power breakthrough. Dalzell believes the motivational factor of switching New York teams and Soto's continuously improving metrics provide exceptional betting value here versus MVP odds.

Guy Boston strongly backed Juan Soto's over 1.5 hits, runs, RBIs at -120 odds. Soto has exceeded this line in 9 of his last 10 games, including 6 straight, averaging 2.5 hits, runs, RBIs during that stretch. Overall in the season, he's hit the mark in 9 of 11 games (82%), averaging 2.36 per game. Specifically against Miami, Soto has cashed in 7 of his last 8 matchups (88%), averaging 3.13 hits runs RBIs per game, including 4 of 5 games this season. Marlins pitcher Max Meyer had weak split stats last year: a 5.68 ERA and a high batting average allowed (.276 overall, .268 vs left-handed hitters), making it a favorable matchup for Soto. Soto excels against Meyer's fastball (505 WOBA), making him likely to perform strongly again today.

Bill Harrelson recommended betting over 1.5 combined hits, runs, and RBIs for Juan Soto against the Miami Marlins. Soto has cleared this line in 9 of his last 10 games, recently recording 4 and 3 total combined hits, runs, and RBIs in consecutive matchups against the Marlins. DraftKings' odds at -125 further support the likelihood. Soto has historically dominated Miami, clearing this line in 7 of their last 8 meetings (88% success rate) and sits at an 82% season-long rate this year, hitting in 9 of 11 games.

B Wade recommended taking Juan Soto over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs given his sustained hot streak. Soto's hit this prop in 9 of 11 games so far and six straight. He recently delivered two hits and two runs against Miami and matches up favorably against right-handed pitcher Max Meyer. Soto hit .293 with 28 home runs against right-handed pitchers last season. Citing that Soto maintains consistent production rather than fluky numbers, Wade argues this near-even money prop represents strong value.

Kingpin recommends the -1.5 run line bet on the Padres in their matchup with the A's, highlighting San Diego's significant talent mismatch. Led by power bats Juan Soto, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Manny Machado, the Padres' deep lineup should capitalize against Oakland's questionable bullpen and starter Jeffrey Springs. Dylan Cease pitches for San Diego, and his strikeout prowess against an inexperienced Oakland lineup ensures a strong run-preventing effort. Expect the Padres’ offense to comfortably outscore Oakland by multiple runs.

Chris Bennett advises leveraging strong 20-plus mph winds blowing out at Citi Field to roster Mets' hitter Juan Soto ($4,200). Facing Marlins starter Connor Gillispie, who had a precarious 57.9% fly ball rate last season, Bennett sees home run upside here. Soto is riding a five-game hitting streak, further solidifying his attractiveness as a premium batter for Tuesday's DFS contests.

Kyle Purviance praised Juan Soto's superior hitting skill—specifically his plate discipline and consistent approach—which generates numerous RBI opportunities. Purviance drew parallels between Soto and elite athletes like Tiger Woods, enjoying the expertise Soto demonstrates when hitting. He finds value in betting Soto's RBI props around +450 to +550 due to Soto's hitting prowess and the reliable presence of teammates on base, emphasizing Soto's unmatched consistency and discipline as significant upside factors in achieving multiple RBIs in the upcoming Marlins matchup.

Kyle Purviance expressed strong interest in returning to Juan Soto's RBI props despite recent near misses, particularly highlighting the appealing plus 550 payout associated with Soto hitting two or more RBIs. He attributes his stance partly to his belief that Chris Bassett is overrated as a pitcher, suggesting he expects Soto to bounce back from recent umpire-influenced disappointments. Given Soto's consistent ability to generate opportunities, Purviance expects positive regression from these unlucky outcomes and identifies him as a good value proposition.

Despite Mets' recent offensive struggles, Dylan Rockford expects the team to finally perform well offensively against Toronto. He acknowledged the Mets inconsistency thus far—hitting under .200—but cited confidence specifically in Juan Soto leading a bounce-back series. Though Rockford shared positive views towards Kevin Gausman for Toronto, Soto's potential big series is the key factor in predicting Mets success and recommending them as a betting play, combined with his recommendation of the full game under eight runs.

Final Round expressed hesitancy in playing Juan Soto despite him being an elite batter due to concern over Soto’s extremely patient batting style. Soto’s tendency to seek walks rather than aggressively swing could notably reduce his hit-based fantasy and betting value. This caution was emphasized by Final Round humorously suggesting needing 'walk insurance' for Soto, indicating an increased risk in relying on typical batter props for him.
