Raleigh's nickname is "Big Dumper," but it could very well be Aquaman given how often he's been wielding the Seattle Mariners' home run trident this season.

The catcher leads the majors in long balls with 26, and he ranks second by wRC+, behind only Judge. Raleigh hit a career-high 34 bombs last year, but he appears well on his way to 50 this season.

I'm betting on the party continuing tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks, who send Merrill Kelly to the hill. The right-hander is giving up plenty of hard-hit balls this campaign, as his average exit velocity ranks in the 19th percentile, and Kelly's hard-hit rate is in the 10th percentile. Kelly won't be able to sustain his relatively solid home run rate if he doesn't stop giving up absolute rockets.

Meanwhile, Raleigh is one of the few switch-hitters in baseball who performs well from both sides of the plate, so no matchup scares us off. He can still do damage if the Diamondbacks go to a left-handed reliever late in the game.

Let's back the league's home run leader to extend the gap at the top.
