Athletics vs Rays Expert MLB Home Run Prop
We don't have a huge sample size of Brady Basso in the majors, but he's been an average matchup for righty power and grades out around a 1.50 HR/9 pitcher to righties.
I don't love this ballpark, but Junior Caminero is one of the best HR hitters in the league, and I have the true odds here under +300.
Pick: Junior Caminero Home Run (+350)
