Best Home Run Picks Today
- Aaron Judge (+260)
- Joc Peders (+385)
Aaron Judge, New York Yankees (+260)
I’ve been staying away from New York Yankees players for the past few weeks, and it hasn’t been nearly as profitable, so we might as well go back to old reliable today.
Aaron Judge leads Major League Baseball in home runs this season, and he’s been relatively successful against Toronto Blue Jays starter Yusei Kikuchi in his career, hitting two homers in 14 at bats.
Kikuchi has allowed nine long balls in 12 starts this season, and with the Yankees on an absolute tear, I’ll back Judge to go deep after he went 0-for-5 on Saturday. He’s due. - Peter Dewey
Joc Pederson, San Francisco Giants (+385)
Pederson is playing at PNC Park in friendly conditions, the wind is set to be blowing out at 12 miles per hour. He will also be facing a right handed pitcher, which has been a buy signal for the Giants slugger. He has hit 13 of his 14 home runs this season against righties and slugging .589 against them.
He'll face Mitch Keller of the Pirates who has struggled at keeping the ball in the park. He is forcing more groundball contact this season, up 8% to 48% but is still allowing homers on more than 10% of fly balls.
I like Pederson to get a hold of one on Sunday. - Reed Wallach
