There are three players I&#8217;m targeting to hit a dinger tonight, including Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals.<\/p>\n<p>Best MLB Home Run Bets Today<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ah\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/44ZqGYj\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Otto Lopez Home Run (+750)Bobby Witt Jr. Home Run (+420)Miguel Vargas Home Run (+300)Otto Lopez Home Run (+750)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"aw\">The Miami Marlins are set to face the Chicago Cubs today, who are starting Shota Imanaga on the mound. While the lefty starter has a solid 4.01 ERA, he has struggled when it comes to giving up home runs this season. He has given up 1.98 dingers per nine innings pitched, which is the seventh-highest rate amongst pitchers with 80+ innings pitched.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"b1\">To try to cash in on that, I&#8217;m going to bet on Otto Lopez of the Miami Marlins. He is one of their best hitters against left-handed pitchers, with his slugging percentage improving from .421 against right-handed pitchers to .500 against lefties.<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Witt Jr. Home Run (+420)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bb\">No starting pitcher in baseball has allowed home runs at a higher rate this season than Jameson Taillon, who has allowed 2.79 home runs per nine innings pitched. He will get the start for the Blue Jays tonight, so we should all be jumping on a player on the Royals to go deep.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bg\">The player I&#8217;m going to bet on is Bobby Witt Jr., who is third on the odds list to hit a home run for the Royals despite having the second-highest slugging percentage at .447. He&#8217;s in a great spot to hit his 17th home run of the season tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Miguel Vargas Home Run (+300)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bq\">The White Sox have a three-way tie for the lead in home runs, with Munetaka Murakami, Colson Montgomery, and Miguel Vargas all having 29 dingers this season. Despite that being the case, Vargas has the longest odds of the three of them tonight when they take on the Minnesota Twins, so that&#8217;s the player I&#8217;m going to back.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bv\">Zebby Matthews gets the start for the Twins tonight and he has allowed 1.53 home runs per nine innings pitched.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c4\">Follow Iain on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IainMacBets\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iainmacbets\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c9\">Create a new FanDuel Sportsbook account, and you can get up to<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/44ZqGYj\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> $1,000 in bonus bets. <\/a>Register now and make a $5 wager each day for five days to claim your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/fanduel-promo-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel promo code <\/a>offer today.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ce\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cj\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"co\">You can check out all of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/betstamp.app\/u\/iainmacbets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Iain&#8217;s bets here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" preventdefault:click=\"\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\" on:pointerenter=\"q-DsTcwbGG.js#s_1NOcOpHWmT0\" on:touchstart=\"q-DKzyCckx.js#s_R8AiGTDeM28\" on:focus=\"q-LAnb4fzu.js#s_gxiTM6qMMu8\" on:click=\"q-BasC_x_p.js#s_lDqay9E5m5g[0]\" q:id=\"cu\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The weekend is here which means we have a loaded slate of MLB games for us to watch&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":883152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-883151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/883152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
