When Ronald Acuna Jr. tore his ACL in May last year, it not only affected the Atlanta Braves but also deprived fans of witnessing one of baseball’s standout players. Acuna made an impressive return, hitting a home run in his first two games after returning on May 23. With eight home runs in just 24 games, he boasts the highest home run rate of his career. He is positioned as one of SportsLine’s top selections for home runs this Friday, with odds at +340 on FanDuel.
- Acuna has been a force, hitting .433 against right-handed pitchers, and has rapidly become a favorite among bettors.
“He’s been extremely effective against right-handed pitchers, scoring seven of his eight homers in that category,” said SportsLine analyst Jacob Fetner. He noted that Janson Junk has a susceptibility in his two-year career, averaging 1.4 home runs given up per nine innings.
