Best Home Run Predictions Tonight: MLB Odds, Picks & Prop Bets for July 2

Last Updated: July 2, 2025 3:06 PM EDT β’ 4 minute read X Social Google News Link

Brent Rooker immediately came through for us by hitting a bomb in his first at-bat and Kyle Schwarber added to a delightful afternoon, and now we turn our attention to a pair of West Coast games for our best home run predictions tonight.
After starting our home run bets today with Rooker and Schwarber, we're focusing on the game's biggest star, so we're once again taking a look at Shohei Ohtani. Along with Ohtani, we're betting on Ketel Marte.
We combined all four of those in a parlay, which will pay out a massive profit of nearly $2,800 on a $10 wager if it hits.

I talked about why I love Ohtani to go Over 1.5 total bases in my White Sox vs. Dodgers prediction, and that is my favorite hitting prop for the megastar. However, his home run prop is still very interesting despite trading at relatively short odds.
Now, I understand some may be worried by the fact that the White Sox are starting the game with a left-hander on the mound, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't change Ohtani's projection. However, there are two reasons for optimism still.
First, Brandon Eisert will serve as an opener, so though he'll face Ohtani for his first plate appearance, he'll be done after that. Additionally, it's entirely possible the White Sox then turn to a righty in case the Dodgers stack the top of their lineup to face the southpaw at the beginning of the game.
Secondly, Ohtani still mashes lefties. He owns a very good .925 OPS against them and has hit six homers in 118 at-bats. Sure, those aren't his typical numbers, but he can still very easily kick things off with a bomb in this one.
