Daily Dinger: Best MLB Home Run Picks Today

  • Mookie Betts To Hit A Home Run
  • Gunnar Henderson To Hit A Home Run
  • Cal Raleigh To Hit A Home Run

Mookie Betts To Hit A Home Run

One week ago, Los Angeles outfielder Enrique Hernandez became the eighth member of the Dodgers’ lineup to hit a homer off of Washington Nationals’ starter Patrick Corbin. The Dodgers’ lineup is hitting a collective .280 against Corbin, who gave up nine hits and five earned runs over 6 ⅓ innings in that outing against the Dodgers. 

In that start, Betts went 4-for-4 off Corbin (5-for-5 for the game). He’s now hitting .500 (7-of-14) lifetime against Corbin with one career homer. With his hits and bases props juiced to the over, consider Betts to connect against Corbin. 

Gunnar Henderson To Hit A Home Run 

Los Angeles Angels’ right-hander Griffin Canning is 0-3 this season with an 8.35 ERA and have allowed five home runs in four starts. Canning faces a Baltimore offense that is tied for the league lead in home runs against right-handed pitchers (26). 

Consider Henderson in this matchup. The 22-year-old infielder is hitting .316 with a .702 slugging percentage against right-handed pitchers, including all six of his homers on the year. Henderson has a great track record against Canning, going 4-for-6 with a home run. 

Cal Raleigh To Hit A Home Run

Raleigh has been on a tear of late and has a great matchup on Tuesday to keep that streak going. Raleigh has homered in three of the last four games and is hitting .273 with three long balls against right-handed pitching heading into Tuesday’s tilt against the Rangers.

Raleigh is 5-for-16 lifetime against Texas starter Dane Dunning with four extra-base hits, including a pair of long balls. Dunning has given up the deep ball this season, surrendering at least one home run (five overall) in each of his four starts this season.
