Available at FanDuel. Turner isn't typically a guy you'd covet against a righty, but JP France has massive reverse platoon splits. He has a 33.3% ground-ball rate against righties compared to 56.1% against lefties. Righties have a .471 slugging percentage off of him as a result. Turner has also shown a bit more juice recently with his barrel rate up to 9.8% in the month of August. It's still not *high*, but it's better than it was. His ISO is .266 in this span, and he has five homers, two of which have come in the past three games. The Green Monster can be a blessing and a curse, but it's more the former with Turner's fly-ball rate up to 52.9% this month. If you're looking for a Dinger Tuesday bet, Turner's my favorite for tonight.

Available at FanDuel. I was on Boston last night, too, which didn't go well. But my model is showing value again tonight. When the Red Sox faced JP France last week, they chased him after 2 1/3 innings as he allowed 10 earned runs down in Houston. That was a downtick in his results, but the peripherals had been lagging for a while. Over his past 10 outings, France has a 4.74 SIERA, and his hard-hit rate is about average at 38.9%. Maybe he's a guy who can outrun his peripherals, but usually that type of thing is tied to elite batted-ball data. On the opposing side, Brayan Bello held Houston to one run over seven innings last week, pushing his ERA down to 3.41 in 12 starts with more sinkers. My model has Boston at 56.9% to win, up from 54.6% implied.
