MLB home run predictions today
We kick things off with Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman in a hitter-friendly ballpark.
Hunter Goodman, Rockies (+288)
Hunter Goodman has risen up the ranks of the home run leaders and now is tied for the second most dingers in baseball with 26. He has been hot as of late with five home runs in his last five games, including going deep three times in a recent game.
It also helps that the Rockies will be at home at Coors Field, where balls fly out of the park.
The Rockies are facing the Miami Marlins, who will be sending out their ace, Max Meyer (9-0, 2.60 ERA, 1.11 WHIP). While he has the eighth-best ERA in the Majors and ranks tied for 13th in strikeouts, he has given up three home runs in his last four starts.
Bobby Witt Jr. (+368) and Jac Caglianone, Royals (+345)
Going with the Royals’ duo in this game against the Rays, as each has solid value even though Tampa Bay’s Junior Caminero (+238) has more home runs (23) and has one in each of the last five games.
Bobby Witt Jr. has 12 home runs, had two in the series-opening game against the Rays, and has three in his last five games.
While Jac Caminero has not gone deep in the last four games, five games back, he had two home runs facing Shane McClanahan (6-5, 3.30 ERA, 1.22 WHIP), who is the starter for the Rays tonight. McClanahan gave up three home runs in that game, and the Tampa Bay bullpen has given up the second-most home runs.
Rafael Devers, Giants (+429)
Good value bet for Rafael Devers in the Giants game against NL West rival Diamondbacks.
He had a home run in the last game of this series and has four in the last seven games. Devers was hot in June, as he had eight home runs in 26 games. In seven games facing Arizona this season, he has gone yard twice.
The D-Backs will be sending Zac Gallen (3-7, 6.15 ERA, 1.58 WHIP), and he has given up two home runs in two of his last three starts.
