Braves vs Angels Preview, Prediction
This is by far my favorite bet on the board.
While it is a lefty-on-lefty matchup, Yusei Kikuchi has still been roughly league-average against left-handed power, which makes these odds far too high.
Drake Baldwin has potentially been the best hitter in the league this season and enters this game in great form.
He has five home runs in just 11 games, and all his underlying metrics are elite.
Even if he regresses toward last season's numbers, these odds are still a value.
I have the true odds around +400, making this a great bet.
Pick: Drake Baldwin Home Run (+500)
