Top Home Run Picks Today

  • Jesus Aguilar: +550
  • Xander Bogaerts: +600
  • Gincarlo Stanton: +320

Jesus Aguilar, Miami Marlins (+500)

Aguilar will face Kyle Gibson today, and that’s a great sight to see. Gibson has given up seven home runs in the last five games, including a four-homer game against the Cardinals. He’s given up a homer in four of the last six starts, so I’ll trust that he’ll get back to giving up dingers after a game off. Aguilar has hit one home run in the last week, so this will be a good chance for him to get back in the swing of things. -- Donnavan Smoot

Xander Bogaerts, Boston Red Sox (+600)

Bogaerts has cashed for me in the past against a lefty and I'll trust him once again on Friday night. He's facing Jordan Montgomery who has a FIP higher than his ERA and just faced the Red Sox last week. He pitched 5.2 innings, allowing only two runs but five hits.

New York has taken their foot off the gas heading into the All-Star break and Bogaerts does his best work against southpaws, hitting .377 with two home runs. In the hitter friendly Yankee Stadium, I like Bogaerts to get the best of Montgomery. -- Reed Wallach

Giancarlo Stanton (+320)

Nathan Eovaldi returns from the Injured List today and while he's been impressive overall, home runs are his Achilles' Heel. He's given up 16 already this season, surrendering at least one in nine of his 12 starts.

Stanton has three home runs in 30 career at-bats against Eovaldi and two over his last four games. At Yankee Stadium against Eovaldi and a poor bullpen, I love Stanton's chances to keep his hot streak rolling -- Joe Summer
