Athletics vs Cubs MLB Picks
Action PRO projects Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers for 0.45 home runs in his matchup against the Cubs tonight, giving us a solid 7.7% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 0.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with a B- grade in our system.
How To Make Athletics vs Cubs Picks and Best Bets
Langeliers has been one of the Athletics' most consistent power threats this season. He has collected 64 hits overall, with 14 of those leaving the yard.
While he has surpassed this line only once in his last five games, that homer came against the Yankees and served as another reminder of the raw power he brings to the plate every night.
The A's backstop continues to profile as one of the club's most dangerous hitters when it comes to extra-base damage. Nearly a quarter of his hits this season have gone for home runs.
This is also the final game of a three-game set against Chicago, and Langeliers enters with the type of power profile that only needs one swing to cash a ticket.
Pick: Shea Langeliers Over 0.5 HR (+250, bet365)
