The New York Yankees led the majors in home runs last season and sit atop the standings again this year heading into the Saturday MLB schedule. However, the Dodgers are only two homers back of the Yankees and will try to add more against Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson, who has allowed seven home runs in eight starts. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has gone yard four times in his last three games and is pacing the majors with 16 long balls. He is +190 to go yard in the Saturday MLB home run odds from BetMGM.
Teammates Andy Pages (8) and Freddie Freeman (9) have each been crushing homers this season as well, so the Dodgers are loaded with firepower. Should you include any of them in your MLB HR bets on Saturday? 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 10-5 roll on all top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the season. The model has hit at least one MLB home run prop in seven of the last 14 days and is up 32.6 units on its MLB HR picks during the last 39 days. Now, the model and SportsLine’s team of Data Scientists have revealed their projections for some of the most-bet MLB HR prop bets on Saturday. These three picks can also be parlayed for +11626 odds and would pay out $581.30 on a $5 bet at FanDuel, where the newest FanDuel promo code is good for $200 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins.
James Wood, Nationals (+450)
Wood is not pacing too far behind the league’s home run leaders, as the outfielder has hit 12 homers through his first 45 games. He is batting .317 in the month of May and went yard against Baltimore in the series opener on Friday night. Wood is facing Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Gibson, who has allowed seven homers in just three starts this season. Left-handed batters have been particularly strong against him, batting .480 with four homers.
“The Home Run Index is an 8 out of 10 today in Baltimore and given Wood’s splits against RHPs and Gibson getting hammered against lefties, we set the line at +400 for Wood to homer,” SportsLine data analyst Jacob Fetner said. Bet365 is offering the best line at +450, but FanDuel’s line of +420 will be used for the parlay. Plus, the latest Bet365 promo code CBSBET365 is good for $150 in bonus bets instantly on your first $5 wager.
Ketel Marte, Diamondbacks (+310)
Marte missed nearly the entire month of April due to an injury, but he has homered five times since making his return on May 2. He has a pair of multi-homer games during that stretch, including one against the Giants on Wednesday. Marte has a .910 OPS against Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez, who has an 8.27 ERA across eight starts this season.
“Marte is our top pick out of any player in the majors to hit a HR today ahead of even Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani,” Fetner said. “We set the line at +240 for Marte to hit a HR tonight.” FanDuel is offering the best price at +310. There’s no FanDuel promo code required to get $200 in bonus bets if your first $5 wager wins.
Zach Neto, Angels (+475)
Neto hit 23 home runs last year in his first full MLB campaign, and he has already hit six homers in 24 games this season. He went yard in back-to-back games against San Diego last weekend before recording a multi-hit game against the Dodgers on Friday. The 24-year-old is facing Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw, who is making his first start of the season after pitching in just seven games last year. Neto hit .360 against left-handed pitchers last year.
“This is a case where we are probably getting better value based on the name alone with Clayton Kershaw pitching rather than his recent stats,” Fetner said. BetMGM has the best price at +475, while FanDuel’s +450 line is in the parlay. The latest BetMGM promo code CBSSPORTS is good for up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses.

Stars eliminate Jets in Game 6 on Thomas Harley’s overtime goal: Takeaways
DALLAS — It’s a Western Conference final rematch.Thomas Harley scored a power-play goal at 1:33 of overtime to give the Dallas Stars a 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets in Game 6 of the second-round series. The goal gave the Stars a 4-2 series win and sent them back to the conference final, where they’ll face Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers for the second straight spring.AdvertisementThe Stars never seem to make it easy on themselves, and Game 6 was no exception. Despite an utterly dominant first period, they found themselves down 1-0 early in the second period when Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele — mere hours after the death of his father, Brad — tucked a Kyle Connor rebound between Jake Oettinger’s pads for an emotional and inspirational goal.But Dallas is as well-equipped to handle the wild emotional swings […]
Cartolas da CBF aproveitam paixão nacional para fazer negócios
A menos de um ano da Copa do Mundo, a entidade que comanda o futebol brasileiro está acéfala. Na quinta-feira, a Justiça afastou o presidente da CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues. Ele é suspeito de arquitetar uma fraude para se segurar no cargo. A decisão do desembargador Gabriel Zéfiro não foi propriamente uma surpresa. Dos últimos seis chefões da CBF, cinco foram afastados por envolvimento em escândalos. A lista é encabeçada pelo notório Ricardo Teixeira. Dono da bola por 23 anos, ele foi banido do futebol pela Fifa, acusado de embolsar propina em contratos milionários. Seu sucessor, o malufista José Maria Marin, foi preso no chamado Fifagate. Passou cinco anos detido no exterior e voltou para casa graças à pandemia. O presidente seguinte, Marco Polo Del Nero, foi banido pelas mesmas práticas corruptas. Para escapar das algemas, adotou a tática de esconder […]

Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw allows five runs in 2025 debut vs. Angels following knee and toe surgeries
USATSI For a change, the Los Angeles Dodgers welcomed a starter back from the injured list Saturday. Left-hander Clayton Kershaw made his season debut against the Los Angeles Angels at Dodger Stadium (GameTracker) after having knee and toe surgeries last fall. This is Kershaw's 18th season with the Dodgers, tying Bill Russell's and Zack Wheat's franchise record. "I've been super grateful for the Dodgers to keep giving me these opportunities to come out and pitch," Kershaw said Friday (via MLB.com). "That's just what I want to do. I want to go out there and pitch. I think the longevity part is just about honoring your commitment more than anything." Kershaw announced his return in style Saturday by striking out the first batter he faced, Zach Neto, on a foul-tip slider: Things went downhill from there. The Angels tagged Kershaw for […]
