Isaiah’s Pick: Bo Bichette at DraftKings
Give me two of the Toronto Blue Jays against RHP Logan Webb (7-6) tonight. Webb, who gave up only 11 home runs all of last season, has already allowed 13 this year. He ranks 11th-worst among qualified pitchers in expected home runs allowed with 14.3, more than the 10.3 expected home runs he allowed last year. Webb was always a below-average pitcher in hard hit percentage allowed, but the bottom has fallen out this year. He now ranks in the 14th percentile in the metric. Right-handed batters have done the majority of the damage, as they own 13 extra-base hits and eight home runs against Webb.
Let’s target Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman for Toronto. Bichette leads the Blue Jays in home runs with 14 but ranks second in expected home runs with 12.3. He trails Chapman in the expected metric, as Chapman owns 10 home runs but 12.4 expected home runs. The two will take the field at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, which ranks third for home runs to righties. Yet despite these factors, Bichette slots in at a whopping 11-1 (8.3%) at Caesars, while Chapman slots in at +550 (15.4%) at DraftKings Sportsbook. These two are getting severely undervalued tonight. Back them to go over 1.5 bases as well.

OddsShopper’s Model Pick: Spencer Torkelson at FanDuel
Let’s to 70% off your first month!
The matchup may not look that attractive here, as Torkelson takes on RHP Dane Dunning (6-1), who has allowed only four home runs this year. However, all four of those home runs came at Globe Life Field, which ranks eighth for home runs to righties like Torkelson. Torkelson ranks second on the Tigers in both home runs (9) and expected home runs (8.9).
That said, the Our model thinks a fair price is +423 (19.1%), so we’re beating the market and getting a solid amount of edge by playing this at +470 (17.5%) via FanDuel Sportsbook.
