Braves vs Dodgers Prediction, Pick

Shohei Ohtani Home Run
FanDuel Logo

The weather is great for hitting, with temperatures close to 100 degrees during game time. Braves starter JR Ritchie has been a great matchup for lefty power, allowing a 1.83 HR/9.

I have the true odds on Shohei Ohtani at under +300.

Pick: Shohei Ohtani Home Run



Braves vs Dodgers Prediction, Pick

Los Angeles Dodgers Logo
Teoscar Hernandez Home Run
FanDuel Logo

I have no idea why the Dodgers are priced like this, but I'm taking advantage. JR Ritchie has also been a good matchup for righty power, allowing a 1.32 HR/9.

I have the true odds on Teoscar Hernandez at around +400.

Pick: Teoscar Hernandez Home Run



Yankees vs Rays Prediction, Pick

Tampa Bay Rays Logo
Junior Caminero Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Gerrit Cole is still a good pitcher, but the Yankees starter has been a plus matchup for righty power this season, allowing a 1.24 HR/9, and he grades out as an even better matchup.

The ballpark isn't great for power, but Junior Caminero is one of the league's best power hitters.

I have the true odds on the Rays slugger at around +300.

Pick: Junior Caminero Home Run



Padres vs Brewers Prediction, Pick

San Diego Padres Logo
Saturday, Oct. 3

Milwaukee Brewers Logo
Jackson Chourio Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Padres SP Robbie Ray has been hammered by righty power this season, allowing a 1.5 HR/9 despite playing in stadiums favorable to pitchers most of the year.

Jackson Chourio is a great power bat, and I have the true odds for the Brewers LF at around +450.

Pick: Jackson Chourio Home Run
