Willson Contreras (+340) and Wilyer Abreu

In Sacramento, Sutter Health Park ranks second in Statcast’s MLB Park Factor for right-handed home runs. This environment benefits Chicago, with pitchers struggling: Jack Perkins, who has given up six home runs, likely faces tough conditions.

Willson Contreras, a consistent right-handed batter, has 15 of his 22 home runs against right-handed pitchers this season. Wilyer Abreu’s fly ball rate is high, and his barrel rate shows he can hit with power even from the wrong side, given the A's bullpen struggles.
