Welcome to a special Father’s Day Sunday edition of MLB Best Bets presented by FTN! This afternoon, we’ll focus on the Tampa Bay Rays and San Diego Padres.
Joe Musgrove will get the nod for San Diego and will face off against the Rays’ Yonny Chirinos.
I simply couldn’t pass up the chance to bet on a “Padre” on Father’s Day! We’ll be backing one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball, Fernando Tatis Jr.
Tatis enters batting .404 with five home runs and 15 RBI in the month of June and has been incredible in front of the home crowd in Petco Park. His numbers increase to .317 with a 1.035 OPS at home compared to only .252 and .789 on the road.
MLB Best Bet
Fernando Tatis Jr o1.5 Total Bases
(-115 DraftKings Sportsbook)
Fernando Tatis Jr. has been brilliant at the plate and has covered at least two total bases in eight of his last 10 games overall and in 16 of 25 home games. Yonny Chirinos has allowed 15 extra-base hits this season against righties compared to only nine against lefties. We’ll back Tatis to once again put on a show in front of his home crowd this afternoon! Happy Father’s Day to all!
