Editor's Note: A home run parlay is not the author's formal recommendation. These home run picks have value as straight bets.
White Sox vs Tigers Prediction, Pick
This is a great spot, and these odds are a bit too high. Dillon Dingler has been playing great this season, as he already has 16 home runs.
Erick Fedde will take the mound for the White Sox, and he's been a complete gas can for righty power this season (3.09 HR/9).
I have the true odds here for the Tigers catcher around +350, making this a great bet.
Pick: Dillon Dingler Home Run

Reds vs Yankees Prediction, Pick
This is strictly a price play. The matchup for JJ Bleday against Cam Schlittler is tough, but the Yankees ace is due for some pretty heavy regression for lefty power.
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for lefty power, and with the wind blowing out at 13 mph and temperatures in the low-80s, the ball should be flying.
I have the true odds for the Reds LF here around +300, making this a great bet.
Pick: JJ Bleday Home Run

Angels vs Athletics Prediction, Pick
This is a great spot for righty power, and Angels' righties such as Jo Adell are priced a little too low.
Jeffrey Springs is a complete gas can for righty power at this point in his career, allowing a high 2.15 HR/9 this season.
This ballpark is one of the best in the league for power, and with the wind blowing out at 11 mph, the ball should be flying well.
I have the true odds here around +350, making this a nice bet.
Pick: Jo Adell Home Run

Red Sox vs Mariners Prediction, Pick
This is a great spot for the Boston lefties, and their odds are far too high. This ballpark is a big upgrade for lefty power compared to Fenway, and the matchup is great.
Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo will likely be the piggyback tandem, and while they've been pitching better recently, they both grade out as plus matchups for lefty power.
I have the true odds for Red Sox RF Wilyer Abreu around +350.
Pick: Wilyer Abreu Home Run
| | | | |
Orioles vs Dodgers Prediction, Pick
This is a good spot, and these odds on Big Meat Pete are a bit too high.
This ballpark is an upgrade for righty power, and the weather should be decent for hitting, with temperatures in the low-70s and wind blowing out at 10 mph.
The matchup vs. Roki Sasaki is a plus for righty power, as he's allowed a 1.63 HR/9 this season to righties.
I have the true odds for Pete Alonso around +300, making this a great bet.
Pick: Pete Alonso Home Run
