Orioles vs Yankees Prediction, Pick
This isn't a bad spot, and these odds are a bit too high for Christian Encarnacion-Strand.
The weather has heavy winds, but they're crossing and shouldn't affect power much.
I have the true odds for the Orioles 3B at around +450.
Pick: Christian Encarnacion-Strand Home Run
| | | | |
Mets vs Nationals Prediction, Pick
These odds are far too high for CJ Abrams given the spot.
We don't have a huge sample size on Mets starter Justin Hagenman in the majors, but he grades out as a big plus matchup for lefty power.
The weather should be below average for hitting, but these odds more than make up for it.
I have the true odds for the Nationals SS at around +600.
Pick: CJ Abrams Home Run

Rockies vs White Sox Prediction, Pick
This is an incredible spot, and these odds are far too high for Munetaka Murakami.
Rockies SP Tomoyuki Sugano might be the best matchup in the league for lefty power, as he has allowed a massive 2.29 HR/9 this season.
The weather should be below average for hitting, but I don't care when we're getting this good of a matchup at these odds.
I have the true odds for the White Sox 1B at around +350.
Pick: Munetaka Murakami Home Run
| | | | |
Orioles vs Yankees Prediction, Pick
This is a plus spot, and these odds are far too high.
Orioles starter Brandon Young has been a plus matchup for lefty power this season, allowing a 1.35 HR/9. The weather has heavy wind blowing left to right, which will have a neutral effect on lefty power (at worst).
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for lefty power, and Ben Rice is one of the best home run hitters in the league.
I have the true odds for the Yankees DH at around +400.
Pick: Ben Rice Home Run
| | | | |
Astros vs Athletics Prediction, Pick
Christian Walker gets a great spot, and these odds are far too high.
Athletics SP Jacob Lopez has been a gas can for righty power this season, allowing a high 1.83 HR/9.
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and the weather should be decent for hitting, with temperatures in the high-70s and wind blowing out at 5 mph.
I have the true odds for the Astros 1B at around +350.
Pick: Christian Walker Home Run
