The New York Yankees topped the league in home runs last season and hold the lead once more as the Saturday MLB schedule approaches. The Dodgers are hot on their heels, just two home runs behind, set to face Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson, who allowed seven home runs in eight starts. Dodgers’ slugger Shohei Ohtani has hit four home runs in his last three games, leading the majors with 16 total.
James Wood, Nationals (+450)
Wood has 12 homers in 45 games, batting .317 in May, hitting one against Baltimore recently. He’ll face Orioles’ Kyle Gibson, who has allowed seven home runs in three starts, making him a solid candidate for today’s picks.
“The Home Run Index is an 8 out of 10 today… We set the line at +400 for Wood to homer.” - Jacob Fetner
Ketel Marte, Diamondbacks (+310)
After missing most of April due to injury, Marte has hit five homers since returning May 2, showing great form. Against Rockies pitcher German Marquez, who has struggled this season, Marte is favored to hit another.
“Marte is our preferred pick for a HR today, even ahead of Ohtani.” - Jacob Fetner
Zach Neto, Angels (+475)
In his second season, Neto has already hit six home runs. He faces Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw, returning to action after limited play last season.
