Seriously … if you’ve never watched the “Friday Night Lights” TV show you need to do yourself the favor and do so. I mean I love my Dad and all, but if I was given the option to trade him for Coach Taylor as my Dad, I’d at least have to REALLY think about it. “Clear eyes, full hearts … can’t lose” might be one of the greatest coaching mantras of all time, so we gonna channel that tonight for some serious Friday night success!

Let’s jump into the plays for Friday, April 18th. Reminder SIGN UP FOR PREMIUM (if ya ain’t already) to get the full list.
✅ TOP PICKS ✅
Austin Riley / Ozzie Albies (ATL) vs. Chris Paddack [GRADE: A]
H/AB | AVG | wOBA | OPS | ISO | HardHit% |
11-33 | .333 | .398 | .928 | .212 | 54.17% |
Paddack has been hot garbage this year and Riley and Albies are both swinging the bat well right now. Above numbers are for Riley and I give him a slight nod, but I like ‘em both.
TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (1u), HR (0.3-0.5u with promos and boosts), hit parlays
Quick note on the Target Markets section: These are the markets I’m going to be line/promo shopping for when the markets open up. Sometimes I will avoid them if they’re too juicy or the odds are just garbage (-130 and worse). Unit recommendation is a general guideline, but could change based on value.

Josh Naylor / Corbin Carroll (ARI) vs. Colin Rea [GRADE: A]
H/AB | AVG | wOBA | OPS | ISO | HardHit% |
13-21 | .619 | .942 | 2.348 | 1.048 | 72.22% |
Warmer weather in Chicago today, wind blowing out and two hot hitters. Above insane numbers are for Carroll so he gets first nod, but both are great again. H+R+R might be in play for Naylor but Carroll will easily be for a parlay only.
TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (1u), HR (0.25-0.5u), hit parlays
