New York @ Kansas City picks

Soto finds himself in a good spot to keep it going Sunday afternoon. Noah Cameron is an impressive young arm, but his underlying numbers suggest he hasn’t pitched quite as well as his surface stats indicate. Soto is also very dangerous against left-handed pitching. He leads the Mets in hits, RBI, OPS, barrel rate, and wOBA vs. lefties. He has a great eye at the plate and, in his current form, is taking advantage of pretty much every mistake made against him. Soto was not thrilled about missing the All-Star game, and this is his last chance to prove he belongs before the break.
