βΎ Taylor Ward (Angels) to hit a home run ββββ
Best odds: +440 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $44)
The Diamondbacks and Angels combined to light up the scoreboard for 11 runs on Friday night, including four long balls. This should come as no surprise - Angel Stadium has seen 114 balls fly out of the park this season, the fourth-most in MLB. We're expecting one of the league's top home run hitters from the first half of the season, Ward, to join in on the fun tonight.
While Ward has slowed his role in recent weeks regarding round-trippers - one home run in the last 10 games - tonight's pitching matchup could be exactly what the doctor ordered. Arizona starter Zac Gallen looks a shell of his former self with a ballooning 5.15 ERA on the season. The former Diamondbacks ace has surrendered 14 home runs in his past 10 starts, one of MLB's worst tallies.
Ward's trading at +440 to hit his 22nd homer before the All-Star break. FanDuel is the only book trading above +400, with bet365 (+390) offering the next-best odds on the market before an even more significant dropoff with DraftKings (+370) and Caesars (+360). A $10 wager at FanDuel would profit $44 if Ward goes yard for a second time in three games.
Los Angeles southpaw Yusei Kikuchi has also seen opposing hitters take him yard five times across his last seven starts, which is why Arizona's Eugenio Suarez (+330 at our best sports betting apps) is another one of our best home run bets today.
