Mariners vs Nationals Home Run Pick
The spot here is a great one for James Wood and the odds are a bit too low.
The matchup vs. Emerson Hancock is a plus one for lefty power.
The weather over in Washington is great for hitting today with temps in the low 90s and wind blowing out at 13 MPH.
Wood is one of the best HR hitters in the league and I have the true odds around +270 today making this a great EV bet.
Pick: James Wood Over 0.5 Home Runs (+250)

Braves vs Mets Home Run Pick
The matchup vs. Bryce Elder is a plus one for lefty power.
The weather over in New York is great, with temps in the high 80s and the wind blowing out at 14 MPH.
Soto is in great form recently and is one of the best HR hitters in the league this season.
I have the true odds around +260.
Pick: Juan Soto Over 0.5 Home Runs (+285)

Cardinals vs Twins Home Run Pick
At this point, Byron Buxton is just an auto-play nearly every day.
The spot is just an average one, as the weather is slightly above average with the wind blowing out at 13 MPH.
Michael McGreevy is a slightly below-average matchup for righty power.
I have the true odds on Buxton around +300.
Pick: Byron Buxton Over 0.5 Home Runs (+360)

Dodgers vs White Sox Home Run Pick
The White Sox are opening this game with Bryan Hudson, who is a plus matchup for righty power, and then bringing in Erick Fedde, who has been a gas can for righty power this season, allowing a massive 3.16 HR/9.
The weather is great for hitting, with winds howling out at 17 MPH.
Betts hasn't been great this season, but the power is there, and I have the true odds under +500.
Pick: Mookie Betts 1+ Home Runs (+540)

Rockies vs Athletics Home Run Pick
I hate betting dudes at odds this low, but the spot here is too perfect.
Tomoyuki Sugano is one of the best matchups in the league for lefty power.
The A's are still playing in Vegas, which has been by far the best ballpark this season for home runs.
The weather is great for hitting today, with winds blowing out at 15 MPH and temps around 100.
I have the true odds around +150.
Pick: Nick Kurtz Over 0.5 Home Runs (+186)
