Daily Dinger: Best MLB Home Run Picks Today

  • Daulton Varsho To Hit A Home Run
  • Gary Sanchez To Hit A Home Run

Daulton Varsho To Hit A Home Run (+475 DraftKings)

Chicago White Sox starter Erick Fedde has been excellent in his last two starts, combining to toss 13 shutout innings with nine strikeouts against just nine hits allowed and no walks. 

The right-hander has been a different pitcher away from the Windy City, though. Varsho has allowed four home runs over his last three road outings this season. Toronto’s lineup is hitting a collective .238 against Fedde in a limited sample size. Varsho has hit just one home run this month after slugging six of them in April. He’s 2-for-4 lifetime against Fedde with a three-run bomb and there’s a nice payout for the outfielder to rediscover his power surge on Monday. 

Gary Sanchez To Hit A Home Run (+425)

The Milwaukee Brewers’ hard-hitting lineup has an MLB-best 19.85 at-bats per home run rate against left-handed pitching this season heading into Monday’s matchup against Miami southpaw Ryan Weathers. 

Weathers has allowed a home run in six of his last eight outings and Sanchez is one of the better hitters in the Milwaukee lineup against lefties. Against left-handed pitching this season, Sanchez is hitting .300 (.211 vs. right-handers) with four of his six home runs on the year.
