Padres vs Phillies Prediction
I know that Merrill isn't a great power bat, but there is no way that these odds should be this high.
Aaron Nola is an absolute gas can for lefty power at this point in his career, allowing around a 2.00 HR/9 since the beginning of last season.
This ballpark is an upgrade for power, and I have the true odds on here around +450, making this a great bet.
Pick: Jackson Merrill Home Run

Guardians vs Yankees
I know that this is a lefty/lefty matchup, but there is no reason why these odds should be this high.
Rice has been one of the best power hitters in the league this season, and this ballpark is a plus for lefty power.
Joey Cantillo is a reverse-splits pitcher who has allowed a career 1.50 HR/9 to lefties, which is well above average.
I have the true odds here around +320, making this a great bet.
Pick: Ben Rice Home Run

Blue Jays vs Braves
This spot is great, and there is no reason why Okamoto should be priced this high.
Bryce Elder has been reverse splits in his career when it comes to power, and he has been a matchup that is well above average for righty power since the beginning of last season.
The weather should be a bit of a downgrade for power, but I still have the true odds here around +450, making this a great bet.
Pick: Kazuma Okamoto Home Run

Pirates vs Astros
This spot is great, and these odds are far too high. Mike Burrows is a big plus matchup for lefty power (career 1.63 HR/9), and this ballpark is an upgrade for Cruz.
Cruz hammers the ball, and I have the true odds here around +400, making this a great bet.
Pick: Oneil Cruz Home Run
| | | | |
Mets vs Mariners Prediction
Soto has been on an absolute tear recently, and these odds are too high.
Logan Gilbert is a great pitcher, but he struggles heavily with lefty power (1.53 HR/9 this season) and grades out as a plus matchup for power.
I have the true odds here around +300, making this a great bet.
Pick: Juan Soto Home Run
