Nobody's bat is hotter in Major League Baseball right now than Kyle Schwarber’s.
The Washington Nationals outfielder has had a truly historic June that has put his name among the all time greats like Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa.
His 15 home runs this month are tied for the second-most homers recorded in June in a single season, and his span of 15 dingers through 17 games ties Bonds for the most during that stretch.
Kyle Schwarber is on another level.

It’s been a truly remarkable run, and he still has two games this month to try and add to the record.
The Nationals are set to host the Tampa Bay Rays in a two-game interleague series that begins tonight and will finish Wednesday afternoon. WynnBET has the Nationals set as slight -116 favorites, with the struggling Rays set at -105 underdogs. The total for Tuesday night’s game is set at 9.5 runs.
If you want to bet on Schwarber’s hot streak to continue tonight, WynnBET also offers a number of player props.
You can bet on Schwarber to record a single at +110, a double at +450, and his over/under total bases for the night is set at 1.5 with the over priced at +120 odds.
The 28-year-old has been batting .293 in June, with an OPS of 1.151. It seems like almost every time he makes contact with the ball, it flies out of the park. 15 of his 27 hits the month have resulted in a home run.
The impressive run has shot Schwarber up the home run leaderboard, and he’s now fourth among all hitters in MLB. Only Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (26), Shohei Ohtani (26), and Fernando Tatis Jr. (25) have recorded more dingers than Schwarber this season.
He’ll be facing Rich Hill of the Rays in tonight’s series opening game.
