TODAY'S EXCLUSIVE PICKS

MLB HR PICK
Junior Caminero (TB)
To Hit a Home Run (+285)
The Rays righty recently reached that 40-homer season, but that doesn't mean he's done. He's homered in three straight series now, so let's start this new one in the same way against Jack Perkins. The A's starter has allowed a .209 ISO to right-handed hitters, and with Caminero's 95th percentile average exit velocity, he can easily take advantage of that.

MLB STOLEN BASE PICK
Ronald Acuna Jr. (ATL)
To Steal a Base (+290)
With six hits and two walks over his last four games we're leaning into Acuna today against righthander Kevin Gausman. Acuna owns a .351 wOBA with 13 stolen bases against righties and Gausman continues to struggle with a 5.31 ERA and 1.28 WHIP since being dealt to the Cubs. Tack on catcher Carson Kelly's woeful 19-percent caught stealing rate and we're ready to cash again tonight!
