Nationals vs Guardians Prediction
Wood has been one of the best power hitters in the league this season, and despite this being a lefty/lefty matchup, these odds are far too high.
Joey Cantillo is a reverse-splits pitcher when it comes to power, allowing a 1.33 HR/9.
This ballpark is above average for power, and I have the true odds here around +350, making this a great bet.
Pick: James Wood Home Run

Angels vs Tigers Player Prop
While I prefer betting lefties vs. Keider Montero, this is a plus matchup for the Angels righties, and their odds are far too high.
Montero has allowed an above-average 1.32 HR/9 in his career to righties and grades out as an above-average matchup for righty power.
Trout has had some of the best underlying power numbers of his career this season, and I have the true odds here around +320, making this a great bet.
Pick: Mike Trout Home Run

Reds vs Mets Home Run Pick
Chase Burns is one of the better young pitchers in the league, but his strikeout stuff is largely negated by Soto, and Burns has struggled heavily with lefty power, allowing a career 1.60 HR/9.
This ballpark isn't great for power, but with the wind blowing out tonight, the ball should be flying well.
Soto is one of the best power bats in the league, and I have the true odds here around +350, making this a great bet.
Pick: Juan Soto Home Run

Twins vs White Sox Pick
Montgomery has been one of the best HR hitters in the league since getting called up, and these odds are far too high.
The weather should be slightly below average for hitting, but the matchup vs. Joe Ryan is a plus for lefty power.
Ryan is an extreme fly-ball pitcher with above-average splits.
He grades out as a matchup that is well above average for lefties, and I have the true odds here around +300, making this a great bet.
Pick: Colson Montgomery Home Run

Astros vs Rangers Best Bet
Yordan is in an average spot, and there is no way that he should be over +300 in an average spot.
This ballpark is below average for HRs, but Jack Leiter grades out as a plus matchup for lefty power.
I have the true odds here around +280, making this a great bet.
Pick: Yordan Alvarez Home Run

Mariners vs Athletics Prediction
The matchup is around average for power going up against Luis Severino, but this ballpark is a huge upgrade for J-Rod, and these odds are far too high.
Sutter Health Park is one of the best parks in the league for power, and J-Rod has been in great form recently.
After a slow start to the season, he has turned things around, and when he gets going, he tends to keep going.
I have the true odds here around +425, making this a great bet.
Pick: Julio Rodriguez Home Run
