Chris Welsh emphasized that the Phillies' struggles with Alec Bohm could lead them toward aggressive moves, such as targeting Nolan Arenado from the Cardinals. Welsh underscored Arenado as the exact type of impact solution Philadelphia might pursue. Although Arenado previously rejected an offseason trade (potentially from the Astros), Welsh feels there's now a greater likelihood he'd be open to accepting a trade to Philadelphia given recent circumstances and his spring training commentary. Welsh added that the complex trade could even involve a three-team swap, speculating Bohm could move to a team like Seattle, with prospects heading back toward St. Louis. Welsh's analysis indicates fantasy managers should closely monitor the Phillies' third-base situation for imminent fantasy implications.

Chris Ruffolo calls Nolan Arenado a great long-shot bet to homer at +1000 odds against Aaron Nola. Ruffolo points out that Nola is consistently prone to giving up home runs, evidenced by four homers allowed across two starts versus the Cardinals last season. Arenado's lone hit off Nola last year was a home run, enhancing Arenado's value at these enticing odds.

B Wade recommended betting on Nolan Arenado over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs against Boston, highlighting Arenado's hot start to the season where he surpassed that total every game thus far, including his best performance of the year recently against the Angels (2 hits, 2 runs, 2 RBIs). He further noted Arenado's strong record against right-handed pitchers, batting .284 against them last year. Specifically against Boston, Arenado cashed this prop in all three matchups last season. Additionally, he cited the weakness of Boston pitcher Walker Buehler, who struggled significantly last year with a record of 1-6 and an ERA over 5. Based on these insights, he's confident Arenado will continue his productive streak.
