Jazz Chisholm Jr. has surged into an elite 25-25-50 pace in 2025 after being traded to the New York Yankees, producing 26 homers, 25 steals and 52 walks while posting a 0.829 OPS. Jose Ramírez sits at 26 homers, 36 steals and 53 walks with a 0.864 OPS, a reminder he remains a constant MVP-level force. Chisholm’s Bronx arrival injects energy and a high-upside centerpiece into the Yankees’ future.

Both players exemplify the rare blend of power, speed and on-base prowess that fantasy managers crave, making them central figures in dynasty and reference-era projections. The season underscores how star-level contributions across multiple categories can redefine a lineup and bolster speculative bets on their teams’ long-term success.

Friday’s 12-game FanDuel slate centers on a marquee pay-up in Paul Skenes, tempered by Boston winds and rain risk. Robbie Ray and George Kirby present solid cash/GPP pivots if conditions cooperate. Cubs-Rockies (11) and Rangers-A’s (10.5) pace the run totals, with Dodgers and Yankees as slate favorites. Top stacks spotlight Cubs, Dodgers, and Astros, while bargains include Laureano and Langford alongside line-drive value from McKinstry and Yastrzemski.

Value plays anchor the bottom of rosters: Laureano, Langford, and Yastrzemski are singled out for production without overpaying. The Dodgers trio Freeman, Betts, and Will Smith carry upside against Gallen, while Alvarez and Altuve provide powerful mid-cost options in Houston stacks. Build around a core of Skenes or Ray with selective exposure to the day’s best bats.

The Yankees surged to a season-best five-game win streak by beating Chicago 10-4, fueled by Grisham, Bellinger and Chisholm Jr. with multi-homer fire and timely hits. Rice chipped in with RBI and a pivotal infield run while Judge scored on a Chisholm sac fly. Will Warren cruised until a second-inning jam caused by White Sox miscues, including Vargas’ wrist contusion on exit. The bullpen locked it down as Rodón looms Friday against Yoendrys Gómez for Chicago.

Aaron Nola headlines the pitcher slate, with a favorable home date against Atlanta shaping cash-game plans. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Mark Vientos provide strong value infield and mid-tier upside, while Trea Turner anchors the lineup with reliable floor. Ronald Acuña Jr., Michael Harris II, and Harrison Bader pace the outfield corps, with Kyle Teel and Adam Mazur offering budget-friendly upside behind the dish.

Philly and New York stacks loom large across the three-game slate, with a balance of high-ceiling power and budget-friendly fillers. Stay nimble on late-news and weather, but the core upside leans to Nola, Turner, Acuña, and the Braves’ bevy of hitters as the day unfolds.

Ketel Marte, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Jeremy Peña, Trent Grisham, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. lead the five MLB home-run prop bets for Aug 28, with Marte at +330 and Gurriel at +700 topping the board. Peña and Grisham ride favorable matchups against Freeland and Martin, while Chisholm taps power upside against cutters. The bets hinge on careful pitcher-matchups and fly-ball tendencies, with same-game parlay potential and odds from DraftKings. Shop prices for best value.

Early slate fades Quintana and leans into right-handed power; late action targets Grisham and Chisholm in favorable park and umpire conditions. Promo tools such as Props Premium Pass and the Prop Optimizer are highlighted for daily refinement, underscoring a value-first approach to a five-pick day.

From a fantasy angle, these props map to DFS exposure and potential correlation with run-scoring stacks, especially Marte and Peña in hitter-friendly lineups. The piece emphasizes matchup nuance, bullpen risk in late games, and the value of parlaying these five bets with prudent risk management to optimize daily fantasy and sports-betting returns.
