Mariners vs Blue Jays
The spot here is an incredible one, and Max Scherzer is a complete gas can for power and one of the best matchups in the league for righty power at the moment.
Arozarena has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball the last month, having hit 10 bombs, and I have the true odds around +450.
Pick: Randy Arozarena o0.5 Home Runs (+600)

Padres vs Rays
Drew Rasmussen is a below-average matchup for righty power, but Tatis has been one of the hottest hitters in the league since the All-Star Break after having the slowest power start in the league.
I have the true odds around +450.
Pick: Fernando Tatis o0.5 Home Runs (+525)

White Sox vs Twins
Zebby Matthews has been a gas can this season for power, allowing a 1.69 HR/9 to lefties and a 1.61 HR/9 to righties.
The weather is around neutral for power, with temps in the mid-80s and the wind blowing in.
I have the true odds on Murakami around +300.
Pick: Munetaka Murakami o0.5 Home Runs (+350)

Astros vs Mets
The spot here is a lefty/lefty one, but the odds are still too high for Alvarez.
We don't have a huge sample size of Zac Thornton in the majors, but he grades out as a below-average matchup for lefty power. While I don't put too much weight on lefty splits for batters, Alvarez is one of the few lefties in the league who actually doesn't have huge splits between lefty or righty pitchers.
The weather is a plus for hitting, with temps in the low 80s and a 10 MPH wind blowing out.
I have the true odds around +300.
Pick: Yordan Alvarez o0.5 Home Runs (+350)

Reds vs Cubs
Shota Imanaga is a massive plus matchup for righty power, and the weather is incredible over in Chicago, with the wind blowing out at 9 MPH.
I have the true odds around +300.
Pick: Eugenio Suarez o0.5 Home Runs (+350)
