Angels vs Mets Picks, Best Bet
Taylor Ward 1+ Home Runs (+475)
Taylor Ward gets a good matchup here, and these odds are a bit too high.
Montas has been a much better matchup for lefty power over the past few seasons, but he still grades out as an above-average matchup for righty power.
This ballpark is a slight downgrade for Ward, but he's been great this season, with 23 home runs, a 14.1% barrel rate and heavy fly-ball splits.
I have the true odds here around +400, making this a great bet.
Pick: Taylor Ward 1+ Home Runs (+475)
Juan Soto 1+ Home Runs (+295)
Hendricks has been a pretty big gas can at this point in his career and really doesn't do anything well.
He's been crushed by righties this season (2.23 HR/9), and while he's been better at suppressing power to lefties, he's due for some large negative regression with his low strikeout rate and high fly-ball rate.
Juan Soto has been one of the best hitters in the league this season, and given the plus matchup, I have the true odds here around +250.
Pick: Juan Soto 1+ Home Runs (+295)
