The New York Yankees have belted an MLB-best 259 home runs this season (31 more than the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers). Thus, it makes sense to feature my best home run predictions around a Bronx Bomber when facing a Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher that ranks in the top 10 of all hurlers in most home runs allowed.

Joining Trent Grisham in my four-pack of best home run bets are Jackson Chourio, Elly De La Cruz, and Salvador Perez.

A $10 parlay on all four sluggers going yard would pay out nearly $6,000 in profits if they all hit a four-bagger. My MLB picks are locked in for today, are yours?

The home run odds for all Yankees hitters receive a boost today when facing Baltimore Orioles righty Tomoyuki Sugano, who has allowed 28 home runs in 28 starts this season. Sugano’s home run issues have gotten worse over his last four starts, where he has allowed seven home runs, five of which have come at Camden Yards.

Sugano has allowed 19 home runs in 313 at-bats to left-handed hitters and nine home runs in 280 at-bats to righties. That had me deciding between Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger as my best home run bet today, but I went with Grishman because of how hot he has been of late.

Since Aug. 20, Grisham has belted 12 home runs and driven in 25 runs. The 12 home runs are more than any other player in that span, while the RBI total is tied for second with today’s fellow best home run prediction, Salvador Perez.

Grisham may only be slashing .222/.300/.389 at Camden Yards this year, but a matchup with Sugano should help improve those numbers.

FanDuel provides the best payout, and a $10 winning wager at its +340 price with 22.73% implied odds would net $34 in profits.
