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.

Miami vs. FSU live updates: Follow latest from today’s Week 6 college football game

Erich Ladwig: I don't know what a better feeling is... Knowing wholeheartedly that your team is going to walk into your biggest rivalry game and win convincingly or the excitement surrounding an unpredictable powderkeg of a game you know is going to be huge. That's my predicament one year apart in the Miami/FSU rivalry.Part of me wants to believe that Miami will walk into Doak Campbell Stadium and leave no doubt, akin to their wins over USF and Florida. But there is a part of me that agrees with Coach Cristobal, that FSU is physical and more talented than a year ago. The proof is there: Florida State has a much more capable offense than the Gators. And even Florida was able to make the game against UM interesting for a spell.I think Florida State will score more often than […]

Woo, the team’s only All-Star starter, injured his pectoral muscle in his final regular-season start on Sept. 19.Advertisement“He made strides, as we had hoped, but it looked like it wasn’t going to be in this series,” Manager Dan Wilson said on Saturday, adding later, “We’re hoping at some point in the ALCS.” Our 26. #SeizeTheMoment pic.twitter.com/lklESQ0aNU — Seattle Mariners (@Mariners) October 4, 2025Woo was a model of consistency all season, becoming the first pitcher since Cy […]
