SportsLine data analyst Jacob Fetner has released his top home run prop picks for Friday, July 24, focusing on three players with favorable matchups on a 15-game MLB slate. The picks include New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto, Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Mookie Betts and Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers, each backed by recent trends and platoon splits.

The selections come from Fetner’s model, which was up 50 units on home run picks last season and correctly predicted 17 home runs over the final six weeks before the All-Star break. For Friday, Fetner highlights Soto’s strong home numbers, Betts’ history against Mets left-hander Sean Manaea, and Jeffers’ success against left-handed pitching.

Key facts

Soto leads the Mets’ return to Citi Field on Friday night. The outfielder is posting a 1.064 OPS at home this season and has been especially effective against right-handed pitching, with a 1.017 OPS and 17 of his 21 home runs coming off righties. The Mets face Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki, who has allowed nine home runs over his last six starts and carries a 6.43 ERA over his last three road outings.

Betts brings a hot streak into the matchup with Manaea. He has two home runs over his last five games on the road. Right-handed batters are posting an .874 OPS against Manaea this season, and the left-hander has surrendered six home runs over his last three starts. Betts’ career numbers against Manaea are strong: 10-for-32 with a 1.153 OPS and three home runs.

Jeffers, a right-handed batter, draws Athletics lefty Jacob Lopez. Right-handed hitters have a .931 OPS against Lopez in 195 plate appearances, compared to a .671 OPS for left-handed batters. Jeffers is batting .315 with a .966 OPS against left-handed pitching this season and is hitting .333 over his last five games at home. He has faced Lopez five times, going 2-for-5 with a home run.

Why this matters for MLB fans

These home run prop picks are part of a broader daily betting analysis that many MLB fans use to track player performance and matchup trends. The picks are based on official splits, recent form, and platoon advantages, not on guarantees. For fans following the July 24 slate, the matchups offer a data-driven look at how players might perform against specific pitchers.

The selections also highlight the importance of home/road splits and platoon numbers. Soto’s dominance at home and against righties, Betts’ history against a specific lefty, and Jeffers’ platoon advantage are all factors that fans can consider when evaluating game outcomes or player props.
