Cal Raleigh Leads MLB in Home Runs, Targeted for Another Against White Sox

Seattle Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors with 42 home runs this season, is projected as a top home run pick for Thursday's game against the White Sox. He faces rookie starter Shane Smith, who has given up 10 homers this season, with a significant number coming from left-handed batters like Raleigh. Despite a recent five-game homerless streak, a statistical model indicates a positive expected return for Raleigh to extend his lead.
