Home Run Picks for Opening Day 2022

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. - Toronto Blue Jays (+320) vs. Rangers

Guerrero is arguably the best home run hitter in the game and there isn’t a better way to show that than to start the season off with a homer. Guerrero Jr. hit 37 of his 48 home runs last season against righties. Jon Gray gave up 10 home runs last season to righties and will be in for a challenge with Guerrero’s power. I like last year’s AL MVP runner up to start the season off with a bang. -- Donnavan Smoot

Travis D'Arnaud  - Atlanta Braves (+600) vs. Reds

D'Arnaud does well against left handed pitching over his career, slugging 32 points higher against southpaws than righties and is hitting in an explosive lineup that plays in a hitter friendly park. I'll take a stab at the catcher going yard against Reiver Sanmartin, who is making his third career start. -- Reed Wallach

Mike Zunino – Tampa Bay Rays (+270) vs. Orioles

The Rays catcher could not be set up more favorably in their opening day matchup in the dome vs. Orioles left-hander John Means.

A season ago, he demolished lefties both home and away, but was even better inside the Trop. Via Fangraphs, Zunino had a ..880 slugging percentage (league average is just under half of that), with an ISO (isolated power) of .540 (league average is .140).

Means gave up 30 dingers a season ago and saw his ground ball percentage drop to 32.9%. He finished with a very solid 3.62 ERA, but advanced metrics he had a bit of luck along the way. He's very much in play to give up a long ball this afternoon. -- Ben Heisler
