Editor's Note: A home run parlay is not the author's formal recommendation. These home run picks have value as straight bets.
Red Sox vs Orioles Home Run Pick
Wilyer Abreu
Home Run
The lefties for the Red Sox get a great spot, and Wilyer Abreu should take advantage of it.
With that short right-field porch, this ballpark is one of the best in the league for lefty power, and the matchup against Brandon Young is a plus.
We don't have a huge sample size for Young in the majors, but he's struggled with power and grades out as an above-average matchup for lefty power.
Abreu is an above-average power hitter, and given the good spot, I have the true odds here around +350, making this a great bet.
Pick: Wilyer Abreu Home Run (+410)
Guardians vs. Blue Jays Player Prop
Jose Ramirez
Home Run
This spot for the Cleveland lefties is fantastic. Max Scherzer is an all-time great pitcher, but he's not the same pitcher he used to be, and is one of the best matchups in the league for lefty power.
The Blue Jays starter allowed a massive 2.45 HR/9 last season to lefties and grades out this season as a matchup that is well above average for lefty power.
This ballpark is in the top 10 in the league in homers for left-handed hitters.
I have the true odds on Jose Ramirez around +300.
Pick: Jose Ramirez Home Run (+340)
Twins vs. Rays Home Run Prop
Junior Caminero
Home Run
Twins pitcher Taj Bradley has been great to start the season, but he's due for a lot of negative regression.
Bradley is a fly-ball pitcher with reverse splits, and he has given up a high 1.61 HR/9 in his career to righties.
This ballpark isn't great, but Junior Caminero is one of the best home run hitters in the league.
I have the true odds here around +300, making this an excellent bet.
Pick: Junior Caminero Home Run (+360)
Angels vs. Royals Top HR Pick
Bobby Witt Jr.
Home Run
Bobby Witt Jr. gets an amazing spot, and even though he hasn't been great this season, these odds are far too high.
The matchup against the Angels SP Yusei Kikuchi is one of the best in the league for righty power and has been for years.
I have the true odds for the Royals SS around +450.
Pick: Bobby Witt Jr. Home Run (+600)
Cubs vs. Dodgers Home Run Pick
Michael Busch
Home Run
This spot for Michael Busch is a good one, and these odds are far too high. The Cubs first baseman gets a matchup vs. the Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan, who has been a gas can for lefty power in his career (1.70 HR/9).
I have the true odds here around +430, making this a great bet.
Pick: Michael Busch Home Run (+490)
