Elias Díaz (+540) - Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

"Diaz, is it? DIAZ?"

Yes! The 31-year old catcher is the perfect sneaky pick to help break the "Daily Dinger" slide at Coors Field today against a pitcher he's seen incredibly well over his career.

In seven at-bats, Díaz is 5 for 7 against Kershaw with a home run and two extra base hits. He's also got a weighted on-base average of .340 this season vs. left-handers compared to .274 vs. right-handers, along with the same number of home runs on the season despite 34 less at-bats.

Díaz may only have six home runs this year, but he's coming off an 18-homer season in 2021, and still has plenty of hot days left in Coors Field to mash.

Why go with the "P-31" when you can have the "P-40" at over 5/1 odds!

Seiya Suzuki (+520) - Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants

Suzuki isn’t known for his power, but tonight’s matchup feels like a good one for him.

Jakob Junis has given up at least one home run in seven of his last nine starts. While he didn’t give one up in his last start, he hasn’t gone consecutive games with zero allowed home runs since his first two starts of the year.

For Suzuki, he’s hit two home runs in the last week, showing the fact he can go yard. He’s also hit more home runs on the road rather than the confines of Wrigley Field.

Everything is lining up for Suzuki to have a big impact on this game. -- Donnavan Smoot
