The Seattle Mariners amassed 13 runs in a game against Texas, largely due to catcher Cal Raleigh hitting a pair of home runs. With this performance, Raleigh takes the lead in major league home runs for the season with 12, placing him ahead of three players tied with 10 homers each. Raleigh’s odds to hit another home run on Saturday are set at +250 at BetMGM, while Kyle Schwarber of the Phillies is listed at +210. Additionally, Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers, who has recorded seven home runs this season, holds +260 odds for hitting one against the Braves the same night.

Josh Naylor, Diamondbacks (+400)
Naylor, who recorded 31 home runs last season, has hit four in his first 31 games this season. Despite not hitting one since mid-April, he’s currently on a four-game hitting streak. He faces Aaron Nola, who has allowed 11 earned runs over his last three starts, making this a favorable matchup for Naylor, whose home run odds are +400 at FanDuel.
Julio Rodriguez, Mariners (+420)
Following his recent performance, Rodriguez belted a two-run home run against Texas and has now hit two homers in his last five games. Although his slow start has impacted his overall stats, his value for Saturday’s game is notable with the best odds available at FanDuel.
Jackson Chourio, Brewers (+430)
Chourio has six homers this season, with his latest coming against St. Louis. While he has been overshadowed recently after a few hitless games, he had a solid performance last year with 21 home runs. Seeing Jameson Taillon for the Cubs, who has surrendered five homers this season, gives Chourio a solid chance to add another home run on his record.
