But his 98th-percentile walk rate (17.2%), per Baseball Savant, gives me pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect Soto to find his way on base one way or another, which is why his runs prop is where I&#8217;ve chosen to land for my best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soto, last year&#8217;s AL runs leader (128), has 1+ runs in 24 of 43 games. That&#8217;s a 55.8% success rate, which exceeds the 53.5% implied probability of this prop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In May, Soto is 8-4 against this prop while posting a 1.077 OPS. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Soto hasn&#8217;t powered up as much as usual this year. His .465 SLG is tracking to be the second-lowest of his eight-year career. That still ranks 50th among 166 qualified hitters, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Soto&#8217;s batted-ball quality suggests greater things are coming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Baseball Savant, his xSLG is .616. That 151-point discrepancy is tied for the sixth-largest in the majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when he&#8217;s not drawing walks, Soto is plenty capable of swinging his way into scoring position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, he&#8217;ll face Carlos Rodon in a lefty-on-lefty matchup. That wouldn&#8217;t be ideal for most hitters &#8230; but Soto isn&#8217;t most hitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 271 plate appearances vs. LHPs since the start of last season, Soto has a .290\/.428\/.542 slash line (176 wRC+). He is, simply, matchup-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Soto has reached base at least twice in nine of 12 games this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After one magical year with the New York Yankees, Juan Soto returns to the Bronx on Friday night for the first time as a member of the crosstown Mets.
