Braves vs Yankees Prediction, Pick
Yankees starter Gerrit Cole is still a good pitcher, but he's struggled heavily with lefty power this season.
The ballpark is a massive upgrade for lefties given the short right-field porch.
I have the true odds on Braves 1B Matt Olson at around +260.
Pick: Matt Olson Home Run

Braves vs Yankees Prediction, Pick
As mentioned, Cole has been hit with power by lefties, allowing a 1.68 HR/9, so let's pick another one to hit a home run.
The weather is also a plus, with temperatures in the high 80s and the wind blowing out to right.
I have the true odds on Braves catcher Drake Baldwin under +300.
Pick: Drake Baldwin Home Run

Blue Jays vs Phillies Prediction, Pick
Max Scherzer might be the worst pitcher in the league at this point. The Blue Jays starter allows 3 HR/9 to lefties and owns a 7 xFIP.
The ballpark is a plus for lefty power, and the weather is good for hitting, with temperatures around 90 and the wind blowing out to right at 11 MPH.
I have the true odds for Phillies star Kyle Schwarber at around +250.
Pick: Kyle Schwarber Home Run

Blue Jays vs Phillies Prediction, Pick
Aaron Nola is not the same pitcher at this point of his career, and while I prefer to target lefties against the Phillies pitcher, he's been hit hard by righties, allowing a 1.88 HR/9 this season.
The weather is great for hitting in Philly, with temperatures in the low 90s and the wind blowing out at 11 MPH.
I have the true odds on Blue Jays 3B Kazuma Okamoto at around +330.
Pick: Kazuma Okamoto Home Run
| | | | |
Rays vs Mariners Prediction, Pick
This is strictly a price play. Mariners SP George Kirby is a good pitcher and has been a below-average matchup for righty power this season, allowing just over 1 HR/9.
The ballpark is an upgrade for Junior Caminero, and the weather is a bit warmer than average today in Seattle.
I have the true odds on the Rays slugger at around +320.
Pick: Junior Caminero Home Run
