James Wood

Home Run

This spot isn't great overall for Nationals LF James Wood, but the odds more than make up for it.

The weather should be below average, and the matchup is lefty/lefty, but Giants SP Robbie Ray grades out as an average to above-average matchup for lefty power.

Wood has been great to start the season and may end up hitting 40 home runs.

I have the true odds here under +600, making this a great bet.

Pick: James Wood Home Run (+590)


Cardinals vs. Astros Player Prop

Jordan Walker

Home Run

At this point, if the books are going to continue to offer Jordan Walker at these odds in a good spot, he's going to end up being an auto bet.

The Cardinals right fielder has been one of the best HR hitters in the league this season, and the power seems to be real based on all of his underlying numbers.

The matchup against Pirates starter Mike Burrows is a plus for righty power, and I have the true odds here around +400.

Pick: Jordan Walker Home Run (+520)


Dodgers vs. Rockies Home Run Prop

Andy Pages

Home Run

I have no idea what the books are doing with Andy Pages today, but these odds are far too high.

The Dodgers center fielder has been playing great, and this matchup is good.

Michael Lorenzen takes the ball for the Rockies. He's an above-average matchup for righty power, and Coors Field is one of the best ballparks in the league for power.

Even if we assume that the power increase this season for Pages isn't real, these odds are still too high.

I have the true odds under +400, making this an excellent pick.

Pick: Andy Pages Home Run (+490)


White Sox vs. Athletics Top HR Pick

Shea Langeliers

Home Run

Header Trailing Logo

White Sox pitcher Noah Schultz is a young prospect who may be great at some point in the near future, but he struggled in his first outing and looks very beatable with power right now.

This ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and the Athletics' Shea Langeliers has been one of the best power hitters in the league.

I have the true odds here around +325.

Pick: Shea Langeliers Home Run (+370)
