Blue Jays vs Athletics Prediction, Pick
We don't have a huge sample size of Brady Basso as a starter, but he grades out as a plus matchup for righty power.
The Athletics SP has allowed an above-average 1.35 HR/9 this season to righties and grades out as an even better matchup for righty power.
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for righty power, and Kazuma Okamoto has been on a tear, with a homer in each of the last two games.
I have the true odds for the Blue Jays 3B at around +300.
Pick: Kazuma Okamoto Home Run

Guardians vs Orioles Prediction, Pick
I don't know why we're getting Big Meat Pete at this price today, but I'm not going to argue.
Pete Alonso is facing a lefty, Guardians starter Foster Griffin, who grades out as a plus matchup for righty power.
The weather should be a big plus for power, with temperatures in the mid-80s and wind blowing out at 11 mph.
I have the true odds for the Orioles 1B at around +300.
Pick: Pete Alonso Home Run

Rockies vs Yankees Prediction, Pick
This is a good spot for Jazz Chisholm, and these odds are far too high.
Rockies SP Tomoyuki Sugano is one of the best matchups in the league for lefty power, as he has allowed a massive 2.44 HR/9 this season.
With that short porch in right field, this ballpark is one of the best in the league for lefty power.
I have the true odds for the Yankees 2B at around +370.
Pick: Jazz Chisholm Home Run
| | | | | |
Cubs vs Brewers Prediction, Pick
This is a good spot for the Cubs lefties, and these odds are a bit too high.
Brewers starter Logan Henderson isn't a bad pitcher, but he has a problem with lefty power, as he has allowed an above-average 1.33 HR/9 this season and a 1.43 HR/9 in his career.
Pete Crow-Armstrong has been one of the hottest hitters in the league recently, and I have the true odds for the Cubs CF at around +280.
Pick: Pete Crow-Armstrong Home Run
| | | | | |
Diamondbacks vs Royals Prediction, Pick
This is a plus spot, and these odds are far too high.
Royals SP Daniel Lynch is a matchup that is well above average for righty power, and Ketel Marte is an above-average home run hitter.
The weather should be a plus for hitting, with temperatures around 80 degrees and high humidity.
I have the true odds for the Diamondbacks DH at around +450.
Pick: Ketel Marte Home Run
| | | | | |
Reds vs Dodgers Prediction, Pick
This is a great spot for Max Muncy, and these odds are far too high.
Reds starter Rhett Lowder has been a complete gas can for lefty power this season, allowing a high 1.56 HR/9.
The weather should be great for hitting, with temperatures in the low-90s, good humidity, and wind blowing out at 4 mph.
I have the true odds for the Dodgers 3B at around +350.
Pick: Max Muncy Home Run
