Nationals vs Braves
We haven't seen a ton of JR Richie in the majors, but in that small sample size, he's been hammered by lefty power, allowing a 1.76 HR/9, and he grades out as an above-average matchup.
The weather is neutral for hitting, with temps in the mid-80s and the wind crossing.
C.J. Abrams has been one of the hottest hitters in the league over the last month, and I have the true odds around +350.
Pick: C.J. Abrams Home Run (+450)

Cardinals vs Blue Jays
Toronto is an above-average ballpark for power and a big upgrade over STL.
Max Scherzer is one of the worst pitchers in the league at this point and one of the best matchups for lefty power.
I have the true odds on Nootbaar around +400.
Pick: Lars Nootbaar Home Run (+444)

Marlins vs Mets
Kyle Stowers has been hitting the ball well recently, and Robert Stock is a plus matchup for lefty power.
The weather is NY is above average for hitting, and I have the true odds on Stowers around +300.
Pick: Kyle Stowers Home Run (+330)

White Sox vs Rays
Griffin Jax is a good overall pitcher, but he's struggled with power this season.
Jax is allowing an above-average 1.38 HR/9 to lefties and a 1.31 HR/9 to righties.
The ballpark is a downgrade for power, but Vargas is one of the best HR hitters in the league, and I have the true odds around +375.
Pick: Miguel Vargas Home Run (+450)
| | | | |
Red Sox vs Dodgers
The ballpark is a big upgrade for power, and the weather over in LA is good for hitting, with temps in the high 80s and the wind blowing out at 8 MPH.
Emmet Sheehan is a gas can for lefty power, and I have the true odds around +350.
Pick: Wilyer Abreu Home Run (+400)
