Dodgers vs Giants Home Run Pick

Mookie Betts 1+ Home Runs (+800)

I don't love the ballpark, but the odds more than make up for it for Betts.

\Matt Wilkinson has been a gas can for righty power this season, allowing a massive 2.16 HR/9 to go along with a huge 63.6% fly-ball rate.

I have the true odds on Betts around +650.

Pick: Mookie Betts 1+ Home Runs (+800)



Guardians vs Royals Home Run Pick

Michael Wacha is a reverse-splits pitcher who has been hammered by righty power this season.

So far, he's allowed a massive 1.96 HR/9.

I have the true odds on Adell around +400.

Pick: Jo Adell 1+ Home Runs (+525)



Astros vs Athletics Home Run Pick

Lawrence Butler 1+ Home Runs (+550)

Hayden Wesneski has been good at suppressing power this season.

However, he's historically been a plus matchup for power, allowing a 1.46 HR/9 to righties and a 1.55 HR/9 to lefties.

The ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and I have the true odds on Butler around +450.

Pick: Lawrence Butler 1+ Home Runs (+550)
