We turn our attention to one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in baseball, Coors Field, for the best home run predictions today, which include Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman.

Freeman's average rose to over .300 last night with a multi-hit performance against the Rockies, a day after he clubbed his 15th long ball of the season. My home run bets today also look to Dylan Carlson, Jose Ramirez, and Juan Soto ahead of what hopes to be a profitable evening across MLB.

If all four hitters manage to go yard, a $10 Dinger Tuesday parlay at the best MLB betting sites pays out $10,000!

⚾ Freddie Freeman (Dodgers) to hit a home run ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +340 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $34)

If recent trends tell us anything, it's that Austin Gomber is certain to allow a home run on Dinger Tuesday. Colorado's starter has given up 14 moon shots across his last 10 starts, with opponents hitting homers at a 90% clip over that span. He's in the midst of a horrible stretch that's seen him surrender moon shots in every start since July, and two in all three August outings.

As such, it's simply a matter of picking the right player to take him deep. While Shohei Ohtani (+115 at the best sports betting sites) is an oft-appealing option, I'm opting to back Freeman. The nine-time All-Star owns a career slash line of .375/.412/.813 against the Rockies starter, which includes two home runs in 16 at-bats.

Bet this at FanDuel, which is the only one of the best sports betting apps offering Freeman at a price longer than +300. The first baseman's odds imply a 22.73% probability he hits a second round-tripper in his previous three outings.
