Home run pick: Kyle Schwarber (+266)<\/p>\n

Kyle Schwarber<\/a> smacked his MLB-leading 19th and 20th home runs in Friday’s victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> as he continues to stay hot.<\/p>\n

The slugger has now gone deep in seven of his last eight games, and three times across his previous two contests.<\/p>\n

The veteran is tearing the cover off the baseball, and no matter who is facing him, he’s doing damage. Pirates SP Bubba Chandler<\/a> has served up six homers across his last six starts.<\/p>\n

Schwarber has also smacked his last four bombs on the road, and the\u00a0Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> visit the Bucs again here.<\/p>\n

Home run pick: Matt McLain (+750)<\/p>\n

Perhaps Matt McLain<\/a> isn’t the most household name in the big leagues, but he’s on a tear lately.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cincinnati Reds<\/a> second baseman has cracked home runs in back-to-back games, finishing 2-for-3 on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians<\/a> with a bomb.<\/p>\n

McLain will face Gavin Williams<\/a> here, who has allowed eight home runs in just nine starts this season.<\/p>\n

McLain has never faced Williams, but he’s coming in hot, and Williams has allowed 10 earned runs across his previous two outings, including a pair of long balls.<\/p>\n

Home run pick: Aaron Judge (+317)<\/p>\n

Every time Aaron Judge<\/a> steps up to the plate, he’s a threat to go yard. The New York Yankees<\/a> slugger has 16 home runs already, and he went deep twice last season at Citi Field, as the Yanks visit the New York Mets<\/a> again tonight.<\/p>\n

Judge has smacked four homers already in May, and he’s collected three hits in his last three games.<\/p>\n

Seven of his bombs have been on the road, and he’ll face veteran Huascar Brazoban<\/a>. Judge is 0-for-3 lifetime, but Brazoban rarely starts games, and he’s around the strike zone a lot.<\/p>\n

The Mets’ bullpen is also unpredictable, and Judge has historically hit well vs. New York, with 14 homers in 32 career games.<\/p>\n
