Home Runs Odds
Kyle Schwarber to Hit a Home Run (+250 | BetMGM) vs. Toronto Blue Jays (SP: Bowden Francis)
First, we have one of the game's best home run hitters in Kyle Schwarber.
This one comes down to the matchup and the situational spot. Sportsbooks have correctly priced Schwarber as one of the top sluggers for the better part of a few seasons in Philly now, but he has a great opportunity to tally his 20th home run of the season against Bowden Francis of Toronto.
Francis has allowed a league-leading 11 home runs on the season in 55 innings of work, tallying an unimpressive 2.44 HR/9 innings. Francis relies heavily on his four-seamer, which he uses nearly 60% of the time. The problem for Francis is that Schwarber is taking the cover off the ball against the fastball, with 11 HRs, .356 BA, and .760 SLG.
Josh Naylor to Hit a Home Run (+540 | FanDuel) vs. Atlanta Braves (SP: Spencer Strider)
Next, we go to Atlanta, where the D-Backs will play against Spencer Strider and the Atlanta Braves.
Even though he's one of the game's best, Strider is still coming into form as he hasn't pitched 5+ innings in any of his starts since he returned from injury. In those starts, Strider has posted a 4.91 xERA and has allowed a 94.3 average exit velocity, which would rank among the worst-qualified pitchers in baseball.
Strider leans on a two-pitch mix: a four-seamer and, when healthy, one of the game's best sliders. Strider is always looking to set up his elite slider, which means Naylor should see plenty of fastballs.
Like Schwarber, Naylor has been fantastic against the pitcher's hard stuff, batting .304 with a .528 SLG versus fastballs. Not only that, but this is especially the case against righties, as Naylor has a 150 wRC+, which is one of the best in baseball.
Although Strider is a big name, don't be scared off, as he's not at the peak of his powers coming back from injury.
Byron Buxton to Hit a Home Run (+290 | FanDuel) vs. Oakland Athletics (SP: Jacob Lopez)
Third is one of the game's best sluggers when healthy: Byron Buxton, who has enjoyed a nice resurgence in 2025.
Buxton has been riddled with injuries for most of the last five seasons, but he has been able to stay healthy for this season.
Not only does Buxton get a lefty on the mound in a plus matchup, but it's arguably the most hitter-friendly park in the majors. In limited action against lefties, Buxton has posted a ridiculous 1.072 OPS and 187 wRC+.
Jac Caglianone to Hit a Home Run (+600 | bet365) vs. St. Louis Cardinals (SP: Andre Pallante)
And for our last pick, we're going with a fun one. Jac Caglianone, the 6th pick of the 2024 MLB Draft, is set to make his debut tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Between stints in AA and AAA, Caglianone has 15 HRs, 56 RBIs, and a .982 OPS on the year.
On the mound for the Cards is Andre Pallante, who is a nice innings eater who generates plenty of ground balls but should be due for some regression, posting a 4.51 xERA. Furthermore, this game has plenty of potential for runs all over the place, as the wind will be blowing to the outfield at 84 degrees.
