Dodgers Week 26 produced a burst of offense and steady pitching. Betts leaned into a late-season surge, reaching base frequently while Hernández launched three homers and added key multi-hit games against Rockies and Giants. Glasnow anchored a strong rotation, with Sheehan and Yamamoto contributing, and Henriquez earning his first major league win. Ohtani added run-scoring opportunities and walks, while a few roster moves refreshed the bench. Up next: a homestand against the Phillies and Giants.

The club solidified its NL West lead despite bullpen erosion at times, and the offense now looks primed to drive fantasy rosters as the postseason nears.

Expect continued run-scoring sprees from top sluggers and a rotation that can sustain wins, with weekly shifts in bullpen roles likely.

Houston’s uphill climb continues after an 8-3 loss at Atlanta, Valdez scuffling through 76 pitches as the team slips in the AL West. A six-game homestand against Texas and Seattle looms, with division implications front and center and a rotation that could pivot to mixed righty/lefty matchups. Cam Smith’s homer provided brief life, but offense remained sparse beyond Yordan Alvarez and a few run-scoring hits.

The Astros will lean on depth as Zach Cole debuts again versus a left-handed starter, and Houston eyes a patient approach against right-handers to manufacture runs. With Brown ready to pitch and the bullpen rested, seven-week pressure to fix Valdez’s stride and curveball usage persists, making this stretch critical for October hopes.

Sunday’s MLB home-run props feature four strong value plays: Riley Greene, Christian Yelich, Iván Herrera, and Jackson Merrill. Each over 0.5 HR carries appealing odds and fits a round-robin approach, with favorable lefty-righty splits, park factors, and recent form backing the bets. Price-shopping across FanDuel and DraftKings can bolster ROI as odds move through the day.

Greene targets Mazur’s inexperience, Yelich faces Mikolas’s righty-heavy tendencies, Herrera jacquards lefty advantage against Quintana, and Merrill confronts Marquez with a hot bat. Pair these with weather and lineup context to maximize upside, keeping the focus on value rather than obvious plays.

The Padres surged past Colorado with Cease in command and a hot offense, while Manny Machado’s workload is being managed to keep him fresh. Bogaerts is rounding into form, and Diaz’s game-calling behind the plate supports the pitching staff. Early scoring and a flexible lineup highlight San Diego’s current momentum as they prep for the next series, with relief work and depth shaping fantasy value.
