MLB HR PICK
|
Will Smith (LAD)
To Hit a Home Run (+450)
Tarik Skubal headlines the Dodgers vs. Reds matchup, which we actually just saw in LA last week. Well, we're focused on this lineup vs. Nick Lodolo. The Cinci lefty has a .241 ISO allowed to righties, and the Dodgers have a guy who recently cashed for us...against Lodolo! Now at the Great American Ball Park, we're going right back to the well.

MLB STOLEN BASE PICK
|
Jose Ramirez (CLE)
To Steal a Base (+316)
Ramirez is ready to heat back up at the plate with his .358 wOBA, .371 OBP and 12 stolen bases against lefties this season. He now faces White Sox southpaw Sean Newcomb who has allowed a .314 wOBA to righthanded hitters throughout his career. Add to it, over 22 attempts, Chicago catcher Kyle Teel is posting just a 27-percent caught-stealing rate so I expect Ramirez to test him early and as often as he can.
