Brewers vs Orioles Prediction, Pick
Brewers starter Robert Gasser has allowed an above-average number of home runs to righties this season, sitting at 1.67 HR/9.
The weather is slightly below average for power, but Pete Alonso has been on a complete tear recently, and I have the true odds for the Orioles 1B at around +300.
Pick: Pete Alonso Home Run

Red Sox vs Rays Prediction, Pick
Rays SP Freddy Peralta has been hit hard by lefty power this season, allowing a 1.51 HR/9.
Wilyer Abreu hasn't been great this month after going on a tear in July and August, but the underlying fly-ball and hard-contact numbers are still good.
I have the true odds on the Red Sox RF at around +400.
Pick: Wilyer Abreu Home Run

Athletics vs Guardians Prediction, Pick
Athletics starter Jacob Lopez has been hammered by righty power this season, allowing a massive 1.97 HR/9.
I have the true odds on Guardians RF Jo Adell at around +375.
Pick: Jo Adell Home Run
| | | | | |
Cubs vs Reds Prediction, Pick
Reds SP Nick Lodolo has been a great matchup for righty power this season, allowing a 1.53 HR/9.
The ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and I have the true odds on Cubs 3B Alex Bregman at around +420.
Pick: Alex Bregman Home Run
| | | | | |
Royals vs Pirates Prediction, Pick
Royals starter Noah Cameron is a lefty, but he's had reverse splits when it comes to power, allowing a 1.18 HR/9, and he's due for some negative regression.
He's allowing above-average fly balls, and Oneil Cruz has one of the highest bat speeds in the league.
I have the true odds on the Pirates CF at around +420.
Pick: Oneil Cruz Home Run
| | | | | |
Yankees vs Diamondbacks Prediction, Pick
Diamondbacks SP Brandon Pfaadt is a great matchup for lefty power, allowing a 1.61 HR/9.
While the ballpark is a downgrade for Ben Rice, the odds more than make up for it.
I have the true odds on the Yankees DH at around +420.
Pick: Ben Rice Home Run
