Contreras over 0.5 HR at +300, Pasquantino over 0.5 HR at +475, Freeland over 0.5 HR at +650, Buxton over 0.5 HR at +280 headline Friday’s MLB HR prop slate. Value plays bend toward favorable righty matchups, weather, and park factors to beat the odds, not chase the obvious. Shop for the best line to juice round-robin upside.

Contreras faces Littell, a pitcher with trouble handling right-handed power; Pasquantino has shown power against righties and Paddack has leaked homers recently; Freeland thrives against right-handers while Gallen has allowed hard contact; Buxton’s big righty power and Cortes’ lefty splits tip the scales. These picks hinge on plus-money outcomes and volatility in a large slate.

Stay agile with lineup updates and weather; small line movements can turn these long-shot bets into meaningful round-robin gains, especially when multiple picks connect in a single card.

Toronto exploded for offense in a wild 9-8 win over Minnesota, riding a late eighth-inning surge to erase a two-run deficit. Addison Barger lined a two-run double off the wall to cap the Blue Jays’ three-run frame, sealing the comeback. Byron Buxton supplied the power for the Twins with two leadoff homers in a multi-homer night, while Minnesota showcased speed with a season-high five steals and nine players collecting a hit.

Fantasy angles center on Barger's breakout moment for Toronto, Buxton’s multi-homer game as a regular-starter run-producing option, and a Jays lineup that leaned on depth and timely hitting down the stretch. The Twins head home with a tough loss after a road trip that featured crisp at-bats, aggressive baserunning, and a result that underscores the high variance of late-season baseball.

Toronto pulled off a dramatic 9-8 comeback victory over Minnesota, led by Ty France whose pinch hit came with an old bat and ignited an eighth-inning rally. Addison Barger snapped a 2-for-30 skid with a two-run double, helping the Blue Jays erase deficits and crown the night with a late lead for their AL-best 40th comeback win. The win solidified Toronto at home and kept their pace atop the division while fantasy managers noticed late-inning magic in a matchup that produced eight solo homers between the clubs.

Seranthony Domínguez earned the win and Jeff Hoffman sealed his 29th save as Toronto improved to 78-56. Lauer was tagged for six earned runs in 4 2/3, but Toronto’s bullpen and timely hitting carried the night. Barger remains a regular contributor with a strong late-season track record in runners-in-scoring-position, while Buxton and Keaschall supplied Twins power in a game that showcased the volatility and upside of late-inning baseball for fantasy rosters.

Toronto staged a dramatic eighth-inning comeback to stun Minnesota 9-8 at Rogers Centre. A three-run rally trimmed an 8-6 deficit, sparked by Alejandro Kirk’s pinch single and followed by Addison Barger's 110.3 mph game-winning double off the right-field wall. Davis Schneider homered earlier, Byron Buxton supplied early power for the Twins, and Daulton Varsho’s defensive flashes helped steadied Toronto’s late surge.

Toronto bullpen locked down the late innings, while the Jays leveraged timely hitting and aggressive baserunning to seize the series finale. The win preserves Toronto’s momentum as they head into a high-profile Brewers set, with Barger's breakout moment underscoring a shift in roster depth and the Jays’ willingness to lean on late-inning heroics.
