Francisco Lindor is not only riding an 11-game hit streak, but he also dominates Atlanta Braves right-hander Bryce Elder, making him my go-to play as part of my best home run predictions today.

Lindor has registered seven hits over his last three games, which is one of the reasons why he leads my home run bets today alongside Mike Trout, Manny Machado, and Shohei Ohtani.

If all four players manage to go yard, a $10 parlay with the best MLB betting sites pays out nearly $3,000 in profits.

When I mentioned that Lindor has dominated the Braves' right-hander in his career, I meant he really does own him. Lindor is 6-for-10 with a double and two home runs against Elder, owning an xBA of .409 and an xSLG of .848. Is that good?

He really does see the ball well out of Elder's hands. Lindor hasn't struck out once against him in his 12 plate appearances, whiffing at just 5.6% of the pitches he sees. The five-time All-Star is also just swinging a hot bat in general, collecting 23 hits across his 11-game hit streak. If there was ever a time to back Lindor as part of our best home run predictions, tonight's the time.

Despite his freakish numbers in August, Lindor still owns favorable betting odds to go yard. A $10 winning wager at the best sports betting sites profits $42.50.
