Editor's Note: A home run parlay is not the author's formal recommendation. These home run picks have value as straight bets.
Royals vs Nationals Prediction, Pick
The prices for the Nationals' power lefties are far too high given the matchup.
Royals starter Mitch Spence has been a matchup that is well above average for lefty power, allowing a career 1.62 HR/9.
The weather should be around average for hitting, with temperatures in the high-70s and wind crossing around 10 mph.
James Wood has been one of the best home run hitters in the league this season, and I have the true odds here around +320, making this an excellent bet.
Pick: James Wood Home Run

Mets vs Reds Prediction, Pick
Juan Soto has been one of the best hitters in the league this season, and this is a good spot.
Reds SP Chase Burns is a great young pitcher, but he's struggled heavily with lefty power in his career, allowing a high 1.60 HR/9.
This ballpark is a massive upgrade for the Mets slugger, and it's one of the best in the league for power. I have the true odds here around +275.
Pick: Juan Soto Home Run

Tigers vs Astros Prediction, Pick
Yordan Alvarez has been one of the best hitters in the league this season, and he gets a great spot tonight.
Tigers ST Troy Melton has been crushed by lefty power in his career, allowing a 1.73 HR/9.
I have the true odds for the Astros DH around +240.
Pick: Yordan Alvarez Home Run

Pirates vs Athletics Prediction, Pick
Spencer Horwitz has been hitting the ball well recently, and this spot is too good to pass up.
This ballpark is a massive upgrade, and the weather should be great for hitting, with temperatures in the high-80s and wind blowing out at 11 mph.
Athletics starter J.T. Ginn isn't a bad pitcher, but he's struggled heavily with lefty power in his career.
I have the true odds for the Pirates 1B around +450, making this a great bet.
Pick: Spencer Horwitz Home Run

Rays vs Dodgers Prediction, Pick
Dodgers starter Eric Lauer has been a complete gas can this season, allowing over a 2.00 HR/9 to righties.
The weather in LA should be good for hitting, with wind blowing out at 10 mph during game time.
Yandy Diaz has been hitting the ball well this season, and given the good spot, I have the true odds for the Rays DH around +350.
Pick: Yandy Diaz Home Run
