Pick Manny Machado to hit a home run (Imagn)

Manny Machado is tied for 30th with 23 home runs this season. The San Diego Padres star has just one in the last seven days, so he might be due for one. Today, he's up against Detroit Tigers' Keider Montero (4-6, 5.17 ERA), so he's got a really good matchup.

4) Taylor Ward: +425

Taylor Ward has a good matchup today (Imagn)

Taylor Ward has 20 home runs so far this season, ranking 54th among all qualified hitters. However, the Los Angeles Angels star has a fantastic matchup. Los Angeles Dodgers' Bobby Miller, who has struggled mightily in his return from injury with a 2-3 record and a 7.25 ERA, is on the mound against him.

3) Yordan Alvarez: +330

Yordan Alvarez is always a potential home run waiting to happen. The Houston Astros slugger has five home runs in the last seven days and 30 for the season. Today, he has Nick Martinez (6-6, 3.78 ERA) and the Cincinnati Reds trying to slow him down.

2) Freddie Freeman: +300

Pick Freddie Freeman to hit a home run (Imagn)

Freddie Freeman has 21 home runs this season and four in the last seven days. He's been red hot as of late, and the Los Angeles Dodgers star is a good pick to continue that streak today. Against the Los Angeles Angels and Griffin Canning (4-12, 5.19 ERA), he's a great pick.

1) Colton Cowser: +275

Colton Cowser is today's best bet (Imagn)

Baltimore Orioles' Colton Cowser has the benefit of facing the Chicago White Sox, a team his offense has beaten up on the last two days. He has 20 home runs so far this year and is a good pick to hit another since the Sox are sending Jonathan Cannon (2-9, 4.70 ERA) to the mound.
