The weather is a bit of a concern, but the game should play cleanly, and the spot is far too good for the Braves' lefties.

Jake Irvin has been one of the best matchups in the league for lefty power since he's come into the league, giving up a massive 1.9 HR/9.

I have the true odds on Harris around +370.

Pick: Michael Harris Home Run



Athletics vs Padres

Lucas Giolito had a good season at suppressing power last season, but the underlying numbers show he's due for negative regression.

While Giolito has reverse splits, he's still been an above-average matchup for lefty power in his career.

The ballpark is a downgrade compared to Sacramento, but Kurtz is one of the best hitters in the league, and I have the true odds around +340.

Pick: Nick Kurtz Home Run



Rangers vs Angels

Mike Trout Home Run
FanDuel Logo

Nathan Eovaldi was incredible last season, but the regression has hit hard this season.

Trout has been hammering the ball this season, and while he only has 12 bombs, he actually has the highest barrel rate of his career.

I have the true odds on Trout around +350.

Pick: Mike Trout Home Run
