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 Rays Prediction, Pick
Junior Caminero is one of the best home run hitters in the league, and these odds are far too high.
Payton Tolle has been great this season, but he's due for some massive regression and grades out as a plus matchup for homers.
I have the true odds here around +325, making this a great bet.
Pick: Junior Caminero Home Run

Twins vs Tigers Prediction, Pick
This is just a price play. Byron Buxton has been one of the hottest hitters in the league over the last month.
The ballpark and weather aren't great, but Troy Melton grades out as a plus matchup for righty power.
I have the true odds here around +325.
Pick: Byron Buxton Home Run

Rangers vs Royals Prediction, Pick
The spot and odds are far too good for Vinnie Pasquantino, and I'm taking advantage. Nathan Eovaldi has been hit hard by lefty power this season, allowing a high 1.88 HR/9.
This ballpark is better for power than it was last season, and we have the best weather game of the season in KC, with temperatures around 90 degrees and wind blowing out at 13 mph.
I have the true odds here around +450, making this a solid bet.
Pick: Vinnie Pasquantino Home Run

Braves vs White Sox Prediction, Pick
This is an incredible spot for the Braves righties, such as Austin Riley.
Brandon Eisert is likely going to open, and he's a plus matchup for righties. Erick Fedde should be coming in as the bulk reliever, and he's been one of the best matchups in the league for righty power, allowing a massive 3.41 HR/9 this season.
The weather should be great for hitting in Chicago, with temperatures in the low-80s and wind blowing out to right field at 6 mph.
I have the true odds here around +350.
Pick: Austin Riley Home Run

Cubs vs Rockies Prediction, Pick
This spot for the Cubs is one of the best on the board. Tomoyuki Sugano is an absolute gas can for power, giving up a career 2.22 HR/9 to lefties and a 1.35 HR/9 to righties.
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and the weather should be great for hitting, with temperatures in the high-80s and wind blowing out at 16 mph.
Michael Busch is an above-average power bat, and I have the true odds here around +250, making this an excellent bet.
Pick: Michael Busch Home Run

Astros vs Angels Prediction, Pick
The power righties for the Angels are priced way too high, given the spot. We don't have a huge sample size for Kai-Wei Teng in the majors, but he grades out as an average matchup for righty power.
The ballpark and weather are right around average. Mike Trout has some of the best underlying power numbers of his career this season, and although he hasn't had a bomb in a bit, he's due for some positive regression.
Even in a neutral spot, Trout shouldn't be priced near this number. I have the true odds around +375.
Pick: Mike Trout Home Run
