A’s vs Rays MLB Betting Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Rays Home Run Pick: Junior Caminero (+330)” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/tb.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
The odds are a little low on Junior Caminero to hit a home run today, but the spot is so good that there’s still decent value.
The weather in Tampa Bay should be good for hitting, with temps in the low-80s, high humidity, and wind blowing out at 6 mph.
Opposing pitcher Jeffrey Springs has been a gas can for righty power this season, giving up a 1.58 HR/9 to go along with heavy fly-ball and hard-contact numbers.
Caminero has been one of the best home run hitters in the league this season, with 21 bombs in 79 games.
I have the true odds projected around +280 in this spot, making this a great play tonight.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”A’s Home Run Pick: Brent Rooker (+425)” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/oak.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Shane Baz has historically been a normal splits pitcher, but has struggled a lot more this season with him using his slider less and adding a cutter to his pitch mix.
He’s struggling to get right-handers out this season and is allowing well above average power giving up a 1.54 HR/9.
Athletics’ outfielder Brent Rooker is one of the best home run hitters in the league, and I have the true odds for him to go yard today nearly 100 points lower than the current number, making this a great EV bet.
A’s vs Rays Pick, Best Bet
- Junior Caminero Over 0.5 Home Runs (+330)
- Brent Rooker Over 0.5 Home Runs (+425)
