Rangers vs. White Sox MLB Home Run Pick
Jake Burger
Home Run +550
This is an above-average spot for Burger, and these odds are a bit too high. We haven't seen a ton of Jose Urquidy in the league the last few seasons, but he's allowed a career 1.86 HR/9 to righties and grades out as a big reverse-splits pitcher.
The weather should be below average for hitting, but these odds more than make up for it. I have the true odds under +500, making this a great bet.
Pick: Jake Burger Home Run +550
Cubs vs. Diamondbacks Homer Pick
Pete Crow-Armstrong
Home Run +350
PCA is on an absolute tear right now, and these odds are way too high given the spot.
Merrill Kelly is an absolute gas can for lefty power, allowing a 2.15 HR/9 this season. He also has a tiny 12.6% K rate vs. lefties to go along with high fly-ball and hard-contact numbers.
PCA has a massive 6 bombs in the last 7 games, and given the matchup, I have the true odds here around +300.
Pick: Pete Crow-Armstrong Home Run +350
Twins vs. Athletics HR Prop
Josh Bell
Home Run +409
Bell is in an incredible spot, and these odds are far too high. Jeffrey Springs has been a complete and utter gas can for power this season (2.30 HR/9), which includes a 2.16 HR/9 to lefties and a 2.35 HR/9 to righties.
This ballpark is a massive upgrade for Bell and one of the best in the league for power. The weather should be great for hitting, with temps in the high-80s and wind blowing out at 6 mph in one of the most wind-receptive ballparks in the league.
I have the true odds here around +350.
Pick: Josh Bell Home Run +409
