Mets vs Rays

These odds may be a bit low, but they aren't low enough.

Mets' pitcher Sean Manaea has above-average splits and has been crushed by righty power this season (1.66 HR/9).

Meanwhile, Junior Caminero of the Rays, is one of the best HR hitters in the league, and I have the true odds here around +270, making this a great bet.

Pick: Junior Caminero o0.5 Home Runs (+320)



Braves vs Nationals

This spot is far too good to pass up.

Nationals' pitcher Jake Irvin has been better this season at suppressing lefty power (1.35 HR/9), but he allowed a massive 2.32 HR/9 last season and is a gas can for lefty power.

The weather should be great for hitting, with temps in the low-90s and wind blowing out at 5 mph.

I have the true odds here around +230.

Pick: Matt Olson o0.5 Home Runs (+250)



Brewers vs Cubs

These odds are a bit too high given the spot.

Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd has been a gas can for righty power this season (1.78 HR/9), and he's been significantly worse since the All-Star Break.

The weather should be great for hitting in Wrigley, with temps in the low-90s and wind blowing out at 8 mph.

I have the true odds here around +370.

Pick: William Contreras 1+ Home Runs (+400)
