HR picks for June 6
Cody Bellinger (+370 at DraftKings)
Cody Bellinger has been rather quiet in his first season with the New York Yankees, hitting just .257 with nine home runs and 35 RBIs. But it’s common knowledge that he has major power, as we’ve seen many times over the years. The slugger went deep on Thursday, and that confidence could carry over to tonight.
The Yanks will face the Boston Red Sox, and Bellinger will go to battle with ex-Los Angeles Dodgers teammate Walker Buehler, who is struggling. The righty has a 4.44 ERA so far, and he’s allowed eight home runs in only nine starts.
Bellinger is 1 for 2 lifetime against Buehler, and that lone hit was a home run. Seven of his long balls are also against right-handed hurlers. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes Buehler yard here.
Juan Soto (+350 at DraftKings)
The Juan Soto shuffle is back, so that’s how you know the New York Mets superstar is starting to find his confidence again. There’s no question it’s been a very slow start for the $765 million man, but he’s putting together quality at-bats lately, and the results are finally showing up.
Soto has two long balls in his last five games and even had a five-game hitting streak before going hitless across his last two appearances. That being said, he’ll face Colorado Rockies righty Antonio Senzatela, who has a terrible 7.14 ERA. He’s getting hit around every single time he steps on the hill.
Soto is 2 for 4 lifetime against Senzatela, and both hits were bombs. Although his average is better against lefties, Soto’s power has shown up versus right-handers, with nine homers. It wouldn’t surprise me if he continued to terrorize Senzatela tonight.
Brandon Nimmo (+400 at DraftKings)
I’ll finish off my picks with Soto’s teammate. Brandon Nimmo is also struggling offensively, but he has quite the track record against Senzatela. The veteran is 4 for 11 in his career with three long balls. Nimmo also left the ballpark on Thursday against the Dodgers – his 10th of the campaign.
Nimmo has two bombs in his last six appearances, and he’s also a lot better against righties. Eight of his homers are with right-handed pitchers on the mound. The Mets are in Denver for this series, and the elevation will help.
Also, Nimmo has done most of his damage from a power standpoint on the road. He has just two long balls at Citi Field and eight away from home. A second straight game with a bomb is very much possible tonight for Nimmo.
