Friday’s MLB odds board gets underway with the Diamondbacks taking on the Cubs at 2:20 p.m. ET (MARQ).
This is today’s only afternoon baseball game and could attract an influx of public money with many casual bettors off work for the Good Friday holiday.
Live MLB odds show Arizona as a -123 road favorite against Chicago, however, it’s a home run pick that’s popping with value ahead of Friday’s matinee.
Below we leverage Action PRO’s cutting-edge home run projections to unveil a massive edge for Diamondbacks vs. Cubs.
Let’s dig in.
MLB Odds, +440 Pick for Diamondbacks vs. Cubs
*Odds as of Friday morning
As mentioned above, Action PRO has identified an MLB pick that’s among the biggest home run edges for Friday’s entire slate.
PRO projects Arizona’s Josh Naylor at 0.27 dingers today at Wrigley, which translates to a 5.1% edge when compared to his current price of +440 (FanDuel) to go yard this afternoon.
In addition, the Wrigley Field wind should help Naylor’s (and every other player, for that matter) prospects of hitting a home run as well.
The latest weather forecast is calling for 15 mph winds blowing straight out to center field for today’s game, which should help push well-hit fly balls over the wall in Chicago.
In fact, the Diamondbacks vs. Cubs total has already increased from 9.5 to 11 as of the time of writing, illustrating just how impactful today’s weather is expected to be on runs scored.
