The Seattle Mariners racked up 13 runs in a win at Texas on Friday, led by a pair of home runs from catcher Cal Raleigh. He now has the solo lead for big-league home runs this season (12), sitting ahead of three players who have 10 each. Raleigh is +250 to go yard in the Saturday MLB home run odds at BetMGM, while Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber is +210. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has seven homers this season, and he is also +250 to go yard against the Braves on Saturday night.  

There are seven games starting after 6 p.m. ET, so there are plenty of players to evaluate for MLB home run bets during the Saturday MLB schedule. With MLB props available for almost every player in every game at sportsbooks, SportsLine’s proven computer model can help you find value to add to your MLB home run picks.

The model simulates every game 10,000 times and is on a 17-11 roll on all top-rated MLB picks since the start of the season. Now, the model has revealed its projections for some of the most-bet MLB HR prop bets on Saturday. These three picks can also be parlayed for +14475 odds and would pay out $723.75 on a $5 bet at FanDuel Sportsbook

Josh Naylor, Diamondbacks (+430)

Naylor had 31 home runs during the 2024 regular season and has four long balls through his first 31 games this season. He has not homered since going yard three straight games in mid-April, but he is riding a four-game hitting streak and has six total hits during that stretch. Naylor draws a favorable matchup against Phillies starter Aaron Nola, who has allowed 11 earned runs in his last three starts and has given up six homers this season. The model likes Naylor’s chances of having a big outing against Nola, and FanDuel is offering the best price on a home run at +430. 

Julio Rodriguez, Mariners (+400)

Seattle is coming off one of its best offensive outings of the season, and Rodriguez contributed with a two-run home run in the sixth inning against Texas. He has now homered twice in his last five games and has seven total hits during that stretch. The 24-year-old has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games, but his slow start to the season is still weighing down his season-long numbers. This has created value on his odds to homer on Saturday, with the best price coming via FanDuel. 

Jackson Chourio, Brewers (+450)

Chourio leads Milwaukee with six home runs this season, with his latest bomb coming against St. Louis last weekend. He is being overlooked in the home run market on Saturday after going hitless in his last three outings, but he had 21 homers last year and is on pace for a better output in 2025. Chourio is facing Cubs starter Jameson Taillon, who has allowed five homers this season. The model likes Chourio’s chances of recording a seventh home run on Saturday, especially when FanDuel is offering +450 odds.

NBA playoffs: Thunder coach Mark Daigneault defends decision to foul late with the lead after Nuggets steal Game 1

Mark Daigneault doesn’t regret fouling down the stretch on Monday night, even though it allowed the Denver Nuggets to be in position to steal Game 1 away from them in stunning fashion.The Oklahoma City Thunder coach, while admitting his strategy to foul the Nuggets while they had the lead down the stretch didn’t pan out, is convinced that was still the right move — even if they didn’t quite execute it perfectly.“That’s usually our deal is to foul up three and to play that game,” Daigneault said after the Nuggets’ stunning 121-119 win, via The Oklahoman’s Joel Lorenzi. “I thought we executed the fouls pretty well. Got the ball in bounds pretty well. It didn’t go our way tonight, but it’s worked out well for us in the past. We’ll continue to look at it, maybe learn from it, but […]

Ravens cut star kicker Tucker amid inappropriate behaviour allegations

The Baltimore Ravens have released star kicker Justin Tucker, months after he was accused of inappropriate behaviour by a number of massage therapists.The Ravens did not mention the allegations against Tucker - who has maintained his innocence - when announcing the 35-year-old would be cut, instead saying he was leaving due to "football reasons." The franchise signed another kicker, Tyler Loop, in this year's draft in a possible indication that they were ready to move on from Tucker, who holds the records for longest field goal and career field goal percentage in NFL history.Ravens' executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement: "Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances. Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker. Image: Tucker was the last remaining player […]

Nottingham Forest, Murillo and the importance of seizing the moment

There have been many Brazilian forwards who would have been proud of the instincts shown by Murillo, when he stretched out a boot to redirect a low shot from Neco Williams and beyond the reach of Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson.It might have been a cathartic moment for the Brazilian defender who, in just his second game for Nottingham Forest in 2023, had come within a whisker of scoring what would have been one of the most memorable goals in the club’s modern history at Selhurst Park. That was a rampaging, charging run down the pitch, that took him beyond a clutch of helpless defenders, before he was denied at the last by Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.AdvertisementOn Monday, there was only a single jabbing touch. There is an irony to the fact that a player who frequently, and spectacularly, tries […]

„Meine Bayern“ heißt die Kolumne von SPORT BILD-Reporter-Legende Raimund Hinko, die sich mit dem deutschen Rekordmeister befasst. Hinko begleitet den FC Bayern seit Jahrzehnten.Lieber Jupp Heynckes,hiermit gratuliere ich – natürlich auch dem FC Bayern zur 34. Deutschen Meisterschaft. Doch zuallererst gratuliere ich Dir, dass Du am Freitag den 80er vollmachst. Hast gearbeitet wie ein Stier, geschuftet, dass normal 100 Jahre nicht reichen. Warst Dir für nichts zu schade. Nicht mal dafür, viermal zu den Bayern zu kommen. Und natürlich trägt auch der neue Meister irgendwie deine Handschrift, so nachhaltig war dein Wirken. Akribie bei den einfachsten Dingen gepaart mit spielerischem Glanz in höchstem Tempo. Man nehme nur den Uralt-Trick von Arjen Robben – von rechts nach innen, Schuss mit links und Tor. So wie es Michael Olise, die Entdeckung der Saison, im Schlaf beherrscht. Dieser Schütze des 2:2 der Bayern […]

The Knicks had a process of their own in Game 1 — dare the Celtics to shoot

BOSTON — If you’re a fan of the Boston Celtics, chances are you read many an authoritative report laying it out there how easy it was going to be for the defending NBA champions to blow out the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.  Given their undisciplined and at times flat-out clumsy performance in Game 1 Monday night at TD Garden, it’s not unfair to wonder if the Celtics also read those reports … and nodded approvingly.AdvertisementThe problem, as the Celtics discovered to their dismay, was that Game 1 was played on parquet, not paper. When it was over, the Knicks had themselves a stunning 108-105 overtime victory. For those who have been putting it out there that Celtics-Knicks isn’t a “real” rivalry since, after all, Boston has done most of the winning over the years, let the […]
