This isn't a bad spot, and these odds are a bit too high for Christian Encarnacion-Strand
.
The weather has heavy winds, but they're crossing and shouldn't affect power much.
I have the true odds for the Orioles
3B at around +450.
These odds are far too high for CJ Abrams
given the spot.

We don't have a huge sample size on Mets
starter Justin Hagenman
in the majors, but he grades out as a big plus matchup for lefty power.
The weather should be below average for hitting, but these odds more than make up for it.
I have the true odds for the Nationals
SS at around +600.
This is an incredible spot, and these odds are far too high for Munetaka Murakami
.
Rockies
SP Tomoyuki Sugano might be the best matchup in the league for lefty power, as he has allowed a massive 2.29 HR/9 this season.
The weather should be below average for hitting, but I don't care when we're getting this good of a matchup at these odds.

I have the true odds for the White Sox
1B at around +350.
Pick: Munetaka Murakami Home Run
This is a plus spot, and these odds are far too high.
Orioles starter Brandon Young
has been a plus matchup for lefty power this season, allowing a 1.35 HR/9. The weather has heavy wind blowing left to right, which will have a neutral effect on lefty power (at worst).
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for lefty power, and Ben Rice
is one of the best home run
hitters in the league.
I have the true odds for the Yankees
DH at around +400.
Christian Walker
gets a great spot, and these odds are far too high.

Athletics
SP Jacob Lopez
has been a gas can for righty power this season, allowing a high 1.83 HR/9.
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and the weather should be decent for hitting, with temperatures in the high-70s and wind blowing out at 5 mph.
I have the true odds for the Astros
1B at around +350.
