Editor's Note: A home run parlay is not the author's formal recommendation. These home run picks have value as straight bets.
Mariners vs Nationals Prediction, Pick
Luis Castillo isn't close to the pitcher he used to be, and he's a gas can for lefty power at this point in his career. The Mariners starter has allowed a large 1.67 HR/9 to lefties this season despite pitching in a pitcher-friendly ballpark.
The weather over in Washington is great for hitting today, with temperatures in the high 80s and wind blowing out at 5 MPH.
James Wood has been one of the best HR hitters in the league this season, and I have the true odds around +270 today for the Nationals' left fielder, making this a great bet.
Pick: James Wood Home Run

Padres vs Orioles Prediction, Pick
The spot here is a decent one, and the odds are too high for Big Meat Pete. The weather over in Baltimore is well above average, with temperatures in the high 80s and wind blowing out at 4 MPH.
Padres SP Randy Vasquez grades out as a plus matchup for righty power, and I have the true odds for Pete Alonso around +300.
Pick: Pete Alonso Home Run

Dodgers vs White Sox Prediction, Pick
White Sox starter Sean Burke hasn't allowed a ton of homers this season to lefties, but he's due for some pretty big regression and grades out as a plus matchup for lefty power.
The weather is good for hitting today, with temperatures in the high 80s.
Freddie Freeman isn't a huge home run hitter, but I have the true odds for the Dodgers 1B around +420, making this an excellent pick.
Pick: Freddie Freeman Home Run

Diamondbacks vs Reds Prediction, Pick
The odds are low on Ketel Marte today, but they aren't low enough. The ballpark upgrade going from Arizona to Cincy is a massive one, and the weather is great for hitting today with temperatures in the high 80s.
The matchup vs. the Reds' Rhett Lowder is a plus one for lefty power, and Marte is one of the best HR hitters in the league.
I have the true odds on the Diamondbacks 2B around +270.
Pick: Ketel Marte Home Run
| | | | | |
Phillies vs Brewers Prediction, Pick
At this point in his career, Aaron Nola is a complete gas can for lefty power. The Phillies starter has allowed over 2 HR/9 to lefties since the beginning of last season and grades out as one of the best matchups in the league for lefty power.
Jake Bauers is a good power bat, and I have the true odds for the Brewers 1B around +370, making this a great bet.
Pick: Jake Bauers Home Run

Rockies vs Athletics Prediction, Pick
T.J Rumfield isn't a huge power bat, but the spot here is too good to pass up, given the odds.
The Rockies are still playing in Vegas, and the ball has been flying like no other park in the league.
Athletics' SP Joey Estes is on the mound today, and he's been a complete gas can for lefty power in his career, allowing a 1.92 HR/9.
I have the true odds on the Rockies 1B around +370.
Pick: T.J. Rumfield Home Run
