Cubs vs Nationals Prediction, Pick

Chicago Cubs Logo
Tuesday, Aug 11
6:45 PM ET
MLB.TV
Washington Nationals Logo
Pete Crow-Armstrong Home Run
FanDuel Logo

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

Nationals SP Jake Irvin has been much better at suppressing power this season, but he's still allowed above-average home runs to lefties and was one of the best matchups in the league last season (allowing a massive 2.32 HR/9).

The weather should be decent for hitting, and this ballpark is a slight upgrade for Pete Crow-Armstrong.

I have the true odds for the Cubs CF at around +280.

Pick: Pete Crow-Armstrong Home Run



Mariners vs Yankees Prediction, Pick

Seattle Mariners Logo

7:05 PM ET
TBS
New York Yankees Logo
Trent Grisham Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Bryan Woo is a tough overall matchup, but he has splits that are larger than average and is a plus matchup for lefty power.

The Mariners starter has only been an average matchup for lefty power this season (1.13 HR/9), but he's due for some heavy regression and has allowed a career 1.29 HR/9 to lefties.

This ballpark is one of the best in the league for lefty power hitters, like Trent Grisham, and the weather should be above average for hitting.

I have the true odds for the Yankees CF at around +270.

Pick: Trent Grisham Home Run



Orioles vs Twins Prediction, Pick

Baltimore Orioles Logo
Tuesday, Aug 11
7:40 PM ET
MLB.TV
Minnesota Twins Logo
Pete Alonso Home Run
FanDuel Logo

This is a good spot for Big Meat Pete, and these odds are a bit too high.

Twins SP Bailey Ober has been better this season at suppressing righty power, but he's due for some heavy regression and has historically been a plus matchup (career 1.56 HR/9).

Pete Alonso is having an off season, but I have the true odds for the Orioles 1B at around +270.

Pick: Pete Alonso Home Run



Rays vs Athletics Prediction, Pick

Tampa Bay Rays Logo
Tuesday, Aug 11
9:40 PM ET
MLB.TV
Oakland Athletics Logo
Junior Caminero Home Run
FanDuel Logo

This is a great spot, and even though the odds are low, they aren't low enough.

Athletics starter Mason Barnett is a much better matchup for lefty power, but he still grades out as a plus matchup for righty sluggers like Junior Caminero.

This ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and the weather should be great for hitting, with temperatures in the mid-80s and wind blowing out at 8 mph.

I have the true odds for the Rays 3B at around +220.

Pick: Junior Caminero Home Run



Brewers vs Padres Prediction, Pick

Milwaukee Brewers Logo
Tuesday, Aug 11
9:40 PM ET
MLB.TV
San Diego Padres Logo
Jackson Chourio Home Run
FanDuel Logo

This is a great spot for Jackson Chourio, and these odds are far too high.

Padres SP Walker Buehler is a heavy reverse-splits pitcher, allowing a 1.56 HR/9 to righties this season.

I have the true odds for the Brewers LF at around +420.

Pick: Jackson Chourio Home Run
