C.J Abrams

Home Run

Header Trailing Logo

This spot is far too good for Abrams. This ballpark is an upgrade for lefty power, and the weather should be good for hitting, with temps in the low-80s and wind blowing out to right field.

Aaron Nola has been hammered by lefty power since the beginning of last season, allowing more than 2.00 HR/9.

I have the true odds here around +300, making this a great bet.

Pick: C.J Abrams Home Run +330 or Better


Pirates vs. Brewers MLB HR Pick

Esmerlyn Valdez

Home Run

This is a fantastic spot, and these odds are far too high. This ballpark is an upgrade for power, and the matchup is great.

Brandon Sproat has been crushed by righty power this season, allowing a massive 2.09 HR/9. Valdez has been one of the best hitters in the league since being called up, and I have the true odds here around +350.

Pick: Esmerlyn Valdez Home Run +475

Jonathan Aranda

Home Run

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

Michael Lorenzen has been a gas can for lefty power this season, allowing a 2.01 HR/9. This ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and the weather should be around neutral.

I have the true odds here around +370.

Pick: Jonathan Aranda Home Run +430
