Orioles vs Royals Home Run Pick
Carter Jensen has looked great this season, and the power looks for real.
This spot is a big plus going up against Chris Bassitt, who has been a gas can for lefty power over the past few seasons.
This ballpark is above average for power, and with winds blowing out, the weather should be a plus.
I have the true odds here around +450, making this a great bet.
Pick: Carter Jensen 1+ Home Runs (+540)

Athletics vs Mariners Home Run Pick
Logan Gilbert is a great pitcher, but he's struggled with righty power in his career (1.35 HR/9).
Shea Langeliers has been one of the best power hitters in the league since the All-Star Break last season and is priced far too high.
I have the true odds here around +375, making this a great bet.
Pick: Shea Langeliers 1+ Home Runs (+460)

Braves vs Nationals Home Run Pick
Austin Riley isn't the same hitter that he used to be, but this spot is far too good.
Zack Littell has been an absolute gas can for righty power in his career and grades out as one of the best matchups in the league for righty power.
I have the true odds here around +350, making this a great bet.
Pick: Austin Riley 1+ Home Runs (+417)

Padres vs Rockies Home Run Pick
Fernando Tatis Jr. isn't the same power hitter that he used to be, but this spot is far too good to ignore.
Tatis hasn't been hitting bombs this season, but the underlying stats are still good, with a 14% barrel rate.
The matchup vs. Tomoyuki Sugano is well above average, and this ballpark is one of the best in the league for power.
The weather should be a big plus for hitting, with temps in the high-70s and wind howling out to right field at 19 mph.
I have the true odds here around +300, making this a great bet.
Pick: Fernando Tatis Jr. o0.5 Home Runs (+375)

White Sox vs Diamondbacks Home Run Pick
Colson Montgomery has been great to start the season (6 HRs) and comes into this game in great form.
The matchup is lefty/lefty, but Eduardo Rodriguez is a reverse-splits pitcher and has been an above-average matchup for lefty power in his career, and he grades out as a matchup that is well above average at this point in his career.
The roof will be open at Chase Field, and the weather should be a plus for hitting, with temps in the 80s and wind blowing out.
I have the true odds here around +450, making this a great bet.
Pick: Colson Montgomery o0.5 Home Runs (+570)
