Gunnar Henderson to Hit a Home Run (+400) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Over the last 30 days, Gunnar Henderson has slugged a .333 ISO and wOBA of .373 at the top of the Orioles' lineup. He's only struck out 19% of the time against righties and has hit 61.1% of hard contact with a 14.8% barrel percentage.
Meanwhile, he'll face Aaron Civale of the Rays, who has allowed lefties to hit a .227 ISO and wOBA of .376.
He's also allowed 30.5% of line drives and has induced only 32.2% of ground balls.
With Civale giving up 62.7% of hard contact to lefties, Henderson is in line for a couple of hard hit balls in the air tonight. Let's take him to go deep.

Wilyer Abreu continues to hit fly balls against righties.

Tonight, he'll go up against Kenta Maeda of the Tigers. Maeda has only struck out 17.9% of lefties and has allowed a .214 ISO and wOBA of .348 to his first 78 lefties this season.
Beyond that, Maeda has allowed 26.8% of fly balls and 30.4% of line drives and has induced just 32.1% of ground balls.
That plays out well for Abreu heading into tonight's matchup against Maeda and the Tigers.
