MLB Player To Hit A Home Run Odds, Picks & Predictions: Saturday (8/19)

Here are our favorite plays for Saturday’s slate.

Saturday’s Best MLB Player to Hit a Home Run Bets

Matt McClain +550 & Will Benson +700

Chris Bassitt will be starting for the Blue Jays today, and unfortunately for Jays fans, this game will be played on the road. I say this because when Bassitt pitches at home, he looks like a Cy Young candidate with a 6-2 record and a 2.83 ERA while only giving up five home runs.

On the road, Bassitt looks like he belongs in Triple-A. Away from Toronto, he is 5-4 with a 5.19 ERA while allowing 17 home runs. Opponents have a .295 batting average against Bassitt while away from the Rogers Centre.

Great American Ballpark has allowed more home runs than any other park this season, with 132. Look for the Reds to tee off on the right-hander early and often.

Max Muncy +275 & Mookie Betts +230

Eury Perez has the potential to become an excellent starting pitcher, but as of late, he has let the long ball be his kryptonite. Over his last four starts, he has allowed six home runs and has to face one of the hottest teams in baseball.

The Marlins ended the Dodgers’ 11-game winning streak, and this is only the third loss in 17 games.

Both Betts and Muncy lead the team in HRs against right-handed pitchers with 21. Both guys hit a solo shot last night; let's see if we can catch lightning in a bottle and go for an HR in back-to-back games!

Kyle Schwarber +220

Speaking of catching lightning in a bottle, we are looking to do the same with Kyle Schwarber. Schwarber hit two home runs last night, and we are looking to catch fire with him today. When Schwarber gets hot, look out. He can HRs in bunches. Earlier this month, he hit three HRs in two games, and last month he hit a HR in four straight games.

So we may see another Schwarber-Bomb tonight, especially against Jake Irvin, who has given up 12 HRs over his last eight starts.
