Orioles vs. Nationals MLB HR Pick
Pete Alonso
Over 0.5 Home Runs +320
The spot here is a great one, and the odds aren't nearly low enough.
The weather is great for hitting today with temps in the mid 80s and wind blowing out to the right at 6 MPH.
Mikolas is a plus matchup for righty power, and I have the true odds around +270 today.
Pick: Pete Alonso Over 0.5 Home Runs +320
Yankees vs. Mets Homer Pick
Trent Grisham
Over 0.5 Home Runs +475
Freddy Peralta is a great pitcher, but he's been right around an average matchup for lefty power in his career.
The weather over in NY is great for hitting, with temps in the mid-80s and wind blowing out at 12 MPH.
I have the true odds on Grisham around +350.
Pick: Trent Grisham Over 0.5 Home Runs +475
Cubs vs. White Sox Best Home Run Bet
Seiya Suzuki
Over 0.5 Home Runs +500
The wind is a bit of a concern here today, but historical data suggest that it shouldn't have too much of an impact.
Fedde has been an absolute gas can for righty power this season, and Suzuki is one of the best HR hitters in the league.
I have the true odds on Suzuki around +400, making this a great EV bet.
