Rangers vs Blue Jays Prediction, Pick

Wyatt Langford Home Run
FanDuel Logo

After a slow start to the season, Wyatt Langford has been on a tear recently, and he gets a great spot here.

Blue Jays SP Patrick Corbin has been a great matchup for righty power in his career, and this season has been no different (1.48 HR/9).

This ballpark is a big upgrade in terms of power compared to Globe Life Field, and I have the true odds for the Rangers CF at around +350, making this a great bet.

Pick: Wyatt Langford Home Run



Diamondbacks vs Rays Prediction, Pick

Tampa Bay Rays Logo
Ketel Marte Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Rays starter Nick Martinez has been having a good season when it comes to suppressing power, but he grades out as a matchup that is slightly above average for lefty power.

Ketel Marte is one of the best home run hitters in the league, and this ballpark is a lateral move when it comes to power.

I have the true odds for the Diamondbacks 2B at around +370.

Pick: Ketel Marte Home Run



Phillies vs Mets Prediction, Pick

New York Mets Logo
Juan Soto Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Zack Wheeler is a great pitcher and a bad matchup overall, but the Phillies ace is a plus matchup for lefty power, allowing over a 1.30 HR/9 to lefties over the past 3 seasons.

The weather in New York should be good for hitting, with temperatures in the low 80s and wind blowing out at 9 mph.

I have the true odds for Mets star Juan Soto at around +325, making this an excellent bet.

Pick: Juan Soto Home Run



Yankees vs Red Sox Prediction, Pick

YES
Boston Red Sox Logo
Ben Rice Home Run
FanDuel Logo

I generally wouldn't love the lefty/lefty matchup, but in the short career of Red Sox SP Payton Tolle, he's been a heavy reverse-splits pitcher and has been crushed by lefty power (2.11 HR/9).

Ben Rice is one of the best HR hitters in the league, and I have the true odds here for the Yankees DH at around +350.

Pick: Ben Rice Home Run



Athletics vs Angels Prediction, Pick

Los Angeles Angels Logo
Shea Langeliers Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Walbert Urena has been good at suppressing power this season, but the Angels starter grades out as a reverse-splits pitcher and an average matchup for righty power.

Shea Langeliers is one of the best power hitters in the league, and even with a ballpark downgrade and average hitting weather, there is no way he should be priced this high.

I have the true odds for the Athletics catcher at around +325, making this a great bet.

Pick: Shea Langeliers Home Run



Dodgers vs Padres Prediction, Pick

San Diego Padres Logo
Andy Pages Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Walker Buehler is having a good season when it comes to suppressing power, but the Padres SP grades out as a plus matchup for righty power and has historically been a reverse-splits pitcher.

Andy Pages has been slow the last few weeks, but he has a lot of pop. I have the true odds here at around +525 for the Dodgers center fielder.

Pick: Andy Pages Home Run
