Dodgers vs Reds Best Bet

Monday, Sep 14

6:40 p.m. ET

SportsNet LA

Teoscar Hernandez o0.5 Home Runs (+500)

Look at the Dodgers lineup. This is the pick of the litter for Dodgers' right-handers.

Nick Lodolo of the Reds has been crushed by righty power this season, allowing a massive 1.95 HR/9.

Great American Ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and although the weather isn't great for hitting, it isn't bad either. I have the true odds for Teoscar Hernandez at around +400.

I'm also targeting Will Smith and Mookie Betts, who seem like solid value picks, but I like Hernandez's value the most.

Pick: Teoscar Hernandez o0.5 Home Runs (+500)

Braves vs Cubs Best Bet

Monday, Sep 14

7:40 p.m. ET

BravesVsn

Alex Bregman 1+ Home Runs (+514)

This is a great spot for Bregman, and these odds are too high.

Braves pitcher Reynaldo Lopez has been a matchup that is slightly above average for righty power this season (1.24 HR/9), and while it's not a huge sample size, he's been in rough form recently and grades out as a plus matchup.

The wind will mostly be crossing to left field in Wrigley, but it's blowing out slightly and should be a positive for righty power overall.

To top it off, Bregman has been one of the hottest hitters in the league since the All-Star Break, and I have his true odds here around +450.

Pick: Alex Bregman 1+ Home Run (+514)

Padres vs Rockies Best Bet

Monday, Sep 14

8:40 p.m. ET

COLR

Jackson Merrill o0.5 Home Runs (+325)

This is a spot for Merrill that's too hard to ignore.

Rockies pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano has been one of the biggest gas cans in the league for lefty power this season, allowing a massive 2.43 HR/9.

Coors Field is one of the best in the league for power, and I have the true odds here around +270.

Pick: Jackson Merrill o0.5 Home Runs (+325)
