Pete Crow-Armstrong to hit a home runpending

Sep 29, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 4.2000

Read original reasoning

Crow-Armstrong leads the Cubs with 45 HR in 2026 (team-best) with a .280/.372/.570 slash and elite .298 ISO. No career matchup data vs King, so we rely on season power metrics. King allows 20 HR in 185.0 IP (0.97 HR/9 — near league average), meaning he's not a HR-suppressing ace. At +320 (23.8% implied), the market marginally underweights PCA's HR rate for a top-of-order 45-HR slugger in a live postseason contest. Petco HR park factor of 0.88 is a real headwind and keeps this LOW confidence — but the price represents value for elite HR production.

Pete Crow-Armstrong to hit a home runL

Sep 25, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 6.6010

Read original reasoning

PCA leads this slate with 45 HR on the season and a 1.068 OPS over the last 28 days — elite power tier. Bello has allowed 12 HR in 112.1 IP in 2026. Career vs Bello is a small sample (3 PA, 0.333 AVG, 0.666 OPS) with no HR. Fenway Park HR factor 0.96 suppresses home runs to left field. Low confidence given the Under 6.0 total lean and park suppression, but PCA's sustained power output makes this a live longshot at +560.

Pete Crow-Armstrong to hit a home runL

Sep 25, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 6.6010

Read original reasoning

PCA leads all MLB with 45 HR and posts a .978 OPS vs RHP and .886 OPS vs LHP — elite production from both sides. At +560 (15.2% implied), there is real value relative to a player hitting home runs at an exceptional rate all season. Fenway's HR park factor of 0.96 slightly suppresses home runs and the under game script limits scoring upside — both are acknowledged risks — but PCA's raw power output justifies a low-confidence play at this price.

Pete Crow-Armstrong to hit a home runL

Sep 24, 2026 ET · Odds at publication 4.6990

Read original reasoning

45 HR in 2026 puts Crow-Armstrong among the elite power threats in the NL. Career vs Phillips: 1 HR in 3 PA (2.333 OPS). Wrigley Field HR park factor is 1.1. With Bregman ruled out, opposing pitchers cannot pitch around Crow-Armstrong as easily — he sees more hittable pitches. The +370 price offers genuine value relative to his 45-HR baseline (~0.28 HR/game rate) and the elevated park factor. Playoff-clinch atmosphere and 40/40 milestone pressure add motivation. Risk: Phillips has allowed only 17 HR in 122.2 IP in 2026 (1.25 HR/9), which is manageable but not elite suppression.
