Juan Soto will face the Yankees, the team he previously assisted to a World Series appearance last year, during the first match of a three-game Subway Series over the July 4 weekend. Soto’s performance against the Yankees in May was lackluster, going 1-for-10 with four walks and no extra-base hits. However, he’s been scorching hot at the plate recently, hitting 11 home runs since June 1, tying him for the second-most in baseball. With +400 odds to hit a home run at FanDuel, he’s a top pick for this matchup.
