TODAY'S EXCLUSIVE PICKS

MLB HR PICK
Junior Caminero (TB)
To Hit a Home Run (+330)
Ok, we know it's a name you've seen recently, but if the Red Sox are going to swap from Payton Tolle to Brayan Bello, we'll be glad that we're seeing it. After all, we cashed last time we used him here with his walk-off, and Bello was relegated to being a reliever for a reason. He's been solid there, but as soon as he has to throw the first pitch, everything falls apart. It's the strangest thing with this guy, but rather than question it, we'll just cash a +330 play instead.

MLB STOLEN BASE PICK
Jackson Chourio (MIL)
To Steal a Base (+507)
Chourio has a .382 OBP and .386 wOBA against southpaws in 2026, and across his last 10 games overall, he’s 2-for-2 on stolen base attempts with a .367 OBP and .381 wOBA. Rogers has served up a .272 AVG and .334 wOBA to righties on the season, and base stealers have an 85.7% success rate when trying to run on the Baltimore southpaw. Carlos Narvaez is likely behind the dish for this one, and he has a 17% caught stealing rate since joining the Orioles.
