Kazuma Okamoto o0.5 Total Home Runs (+425)
With another fastball thrower on the mound today, I’m inclined to keep riding the Okamoto train from my official home run pick today. He already has three home runs in this series, and owns a .600 slug-rate against the four-seamer with five of his team leading eight home runs this season coming off the fastball.
Kazuma Okamoto o1.5 Total Bases (+130)

Aaron Judge o0.5 Total Home Runs (+205)
Aaron Judge is coming off a vintage month of April, where he hit 10 dingers with a .659 slugging percentage.
The Yankees star will square up against Orioles starter Trey Gibson, who is making his MLB debut. Baltimore's bullpen has also been pretty shaky, giving up 17 home runs - tied for seventh most in the MLB.

William Contreras o0.5 Total Home Runs (+540)
William Contreras only has three homers this year (including one on Thursday), but he'll be able to pick on a brutal Nationals pitching staff today.
Starter Zack Littell has already allowed 13 homers, including 2+ in four straight outings, while the Nats have surrendered an MLB-worst 51 dingers.

Matt Olson o0.5 Total Home Runs (+310)
Matt Olson has gone yard in two straight games, and four of his last six outings. He'll be batting out of Coors Field today, one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the majors.
The Rockies have allowed 46 dingers already - the third most among all clubs - while starter Kyle Freeland has surrendered a homer in two straight games.
