MLB HR PICK
Shea Langeliers (ATH)
To Hit a Home Run (+325)
Somehow, we didn't have a target at Sutter Health Park in our top three picks, so let's get one in here. The A's top slugger hasn't homered since his return, but now he gets a lefty in a Triple-A ballpark that is just five starts deep since missing four months on the IL. Langeliers has unreal power vs. lefties as well with a .291 ISO, so this is the perfect spot for him to get back over the fence.

MLB STOLEN BASE PICK
Konnor Griffin (PIT)
To Steal a Base (+190)
Not the longest odds in town, but definitely a sensible direction to follow as Griffin has hit safely in six of his last seven games and is running the bases aggressively. He faces Andre Pallante who has allowed 16 stolen bases this season, second-most on the slate, but even better is rookie Leon Bernal is behind the plate for the Cardinals and he's been run on heavily since being called up. Expect the Pirates to do the same.
