Now Murakami gets another crack at Parker Messick who he&#8217;s gone 3-6 against with two home runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Messick utilizes his four-seam fastball on over 40% of his pitches and Murakami has hit 21 of his 35 home runs against that pitch. The White Sox lineup has thrived at home during the 2026 campaign and now they have a playoff game under their belt to shake off the rust. Murakami hit 20 of his home runs at Guaranteed Rate Field but we&#8217;ll be fine with an RBI single.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wt.buzz\/freegoldsheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/FreeGoldSheetIssue-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40440\" style=\"width:455px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/FreeGoldSheetIssue-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/FreeGoldSheetIssue-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/FreeGoldSheetIssue-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/FreeGoldSheetIssue-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/FreeGoldSheetIssue-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/FreeGoldSheetIssue-1.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best<strong> MLB Player Props<\/strong> #2: <strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Steven Kwan Cleveland Guardians OVER 1.5<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <strong><strong><strong><strong>Hits + Runs + RBIs (-110)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steven Kwan has managed to clear this line in back-to-back games despite going only 2-10 in the process.
