Many Mets fans grew restless as Juan Soto, who signed a historic contract with the team, struggled at the beginning of the season. However, after a recent series against the Colorado Rockies, where Soto hit two home runs, he appears to be rediscovering his form.
The Mets are set to travel to Los Angeles for a three-game series against the Dodgers with an over/under of 9.5 total runs in Game 1 scheduled at 10:10 p.m. ET. Soto is heavily favored for home run bets, currently listed at +450.
The SportsLine model, which has successfully predicted MLB home run bets with a total of 25.35 units gained over 54 days, values Soto’s odds highly for this match. Notably, Soto is known for optimizing his performance against right-handed pitchers, like Dodgers’ Dustin May, who has struggled with home runs recently.
Best MLB Home Run Picks for Monday, June 2:
- Juan Soto, Mets (+450)
- Willy Adames, Giants (+750)
- Zach Neto, Angels (+560)
- Consider parlaying these picks for substantial odds at FanDuel (+29633).
Why Juan Soto? Soto hit back-to-back home runs recently and is expected to increase his tally, particularly with matchups expected to yield more offensive play. After an underwhelming 10 home runs over 56 games to start the season, he’s poised for a power surge with two strong seasons prior featuring 41 and 35 home runs, respectively.
Willy Adames, Giants (+750) and Zach Neto, Angels (+560) are also recommended by our analysts for excellent value against weaker pitching. Adames is a potential sleeper while Neto excels on the road, indicating a great opportunity for bets.
