Best Home Run Picks Today
- Mookie Betts: +240
- Freddie Freeman: +350
Mookie Betts (+240): Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Mookie Betts are in Colorado to face the Rockies on Sunday, and they have a favorable matchup with the home-run prone German Marquez. Marquez has allowed 18 homers in just 19 starts this season, although he pitched back-to-back solid games entering this outing.
Betts has been great against Marquez in his career, hitting .353/.421/.529 in 17 at bats with one homer and three RBIs. Betts has 23 homers this season, and I wouldn’t be shocked if he adds another in this matchup. -- Peter Dewey
Freddie Freeman (+350): Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies
Márquez is in trouble on Sunday, as he is in most starts. He has a home run to fly ball rate north of 17% this season and has struggled against plenty of Dodgers hitters in the past. Freeman has a somewhat limited sample size, just 18 at bats, but four of his five hits have been extra base hits, including a home run.
Freeman is hitting .376 this month with six home runs, the best marks of his one year Dodgers tenure and hits .332 on the year against righties on the season. He has hit 11 of his 15 long balls against right handed pitchers as well, making him a strong bet at this number to take one deep on Sunday with a total of 11.5. -- Reed Wallach
