Although Witt Jr. is trailing Aaron Judge in the AL's MLB MVP odds race again this year, the Kansas City Royals' superstar should help cut into the New York Yankees' slugger's lead tonight. While Witt has just one dinger this season thus far, he's got a favorable matchup against Cleveland Guardians pitcher Tanner Bibee.
Bibee has already allowed four homers this season, and opponents have a .641 SLG against the 26-year-old righty. He's also predominantly leaned on his four-seamer (41% of the time), a pitch Witt destroyed last season with a .685 xSLG and 57.7% hard hit rate.
Even with a somewhat quiet start to this season, the Gold Glove-winning shortstop has a .308 batting average against four-seamers to go with a .469 xSLG and 77.8% hard hit rate. He's poised to be in a position to go yard tonight.
📊 Royals vs. Guardians home run odds
⚾ Marcell Ozuna (Braves) to hit a home run ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +400 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $40)
New customers only. Deposit min. $5. Place first bet of $5+ and win $250 in Bonus Bets, if your bet wins. (within 72 hours).
Few players have mashed to the level of Ozuna the last few years. The 34-year-old has amassed 79 dingers in the previous two seasons, and he's shown zero signs of slowing down this year with two homers already and a ridiculous .526 SLG.
Tampa Bay Rays righty Taj Bradley could be in some serious trouble against Ozuna. Bradley loves his four-seamer (41.9%) but has already allowed two homers with it this season after giving up 12 last year. Opponents have a .647 SLG against it and Ozuna should capitalize on his frequent use of it.
The Braves DH was dominant last year against four-seamers with a .353 average to go with a .599 SLG while hitting 21 of his 39 home runs off fastballs. Even if Bradley goes to his second-most used pitch (cutter, 27.5%), Ozuna killed those too last season with a .846 xSLG.
📊 Braves vs. Rays home run odds
⚾ Jackson Chourio (Brewers) to hit a home run ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +625 via BetMGM (bet $10 to win $62.50)
Bonus bets will expire in 7 days. One new customer offer only. Additional terms and conditions apply.
It could be a breakout season for 21-year-old Jackson Chourio, who hit 21 dingers in his first season in the majors last year. The Venezuelan has already gone yard four times in 13 games and sits second in MLB in RBIs (16) behind just Judge.
He's only just ramping up too, with three of his four dingers coming in his last four games, which should have Eduardo Rodriguez shaking on the mound. And while Rodriguez is a lefty, Chourio has had more success against southpaws this season, he's slashing a jaw-dropping .375/.375/.875 against them with 21 total bases and two homers.
Rodriguez's pitch arsenal doesn't help his cause either, with him going to his four-seamer (37.1%) and changeup (25.7%) most often. Chourio is slugging .565 against four-seamers and 1.125 against changeups.
📊 Brewers vs. Diamondbacks home run odds
⚾ Pete Alonso (Mets) to hit a home run ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +325 via bet365 (bet $10 to win $32.50)
The New York slugger wearing pinstripes for the Evil Empire might have two MVP awards, but what he doesn't have is two Home Run Derby titles. That's one department Pete Alonso has him beat in, and the New York Mets slugger should be feeling pretty good after his alma mater, Florida, won March Madness last weekend.
To celebrate, Alonso can rip the seams off a few baseballs pitched his way by JP Sears, who has allowed 64 home runs since becoming a full-time starter for the Athletics two years ago. He doesn't stand a chance against Alonso with his four-seamer (39.3%) being his go-to pitch.
The 30-year-old Alonso is eating four-seamers alive, with a .625 average, 1.959 xSLG, and 100% hard hit rate against them this year. Those look like numbers you'd put up on the easiest mode of Road to the Show. Say a prayer for Sears, Alonso is about to send him off to never never land.
