HR picks for July 4
Pete Crow-Armstrong (+330 at DraftKings)
Pete Crow-Armstrong has been a star for the Chicago Cubs this season. He’s hitting .265 with 21 home runs and 64 RBI and has already collected four hits in three games in July. While PCA has yet to leave the yard this month, he’ll be loving today’s matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals.
St. Louis sends Miles Mikolas to the mound, and he struggled immensely in June, compiling a 6.58 ERA, allowing six homers in just five starts. PCA has raked against Mikolas in his career as well, going 3-for-4 with two long balls. His eyes are going to light up with the veteran on the hill this afternoon.
Crow-Armstrong has left the ballpark nine times at home this season, and he’s hitting .288 at Wrigley Field as well. Don’t be surprised if he smacks No. 22 on the Fourth of July.
Shohei Ohtani (+170 at DraftKings)
Shohei Ohtani is on track to win NL MVP again. By no surprise, he’s putting up ridiculous numbers once again, hitting .284 with 30 homers and 56 RBI. Ohtani has also made his return to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The slugger has three bombs in his last seven games, most recently going deep on Tuesday against the White Sox. Today, he’ll face Lance McCullers Jr. of the Astros, who recently returned from injury. However, the righty has struggled, allowing 12 earned runs across his last two starts, including four homers.
While Ohtani is just 5-for-21 lifetime against McCullers with no long balls, he’s smacked 24 home runs off right-handed hurlers this year, and McCullers is leaving a lot of pitches in the strike zone lately. Ohtani could capitalize.
Junior Caminero (+280 at DraftKings)
Losing Wander Franco due to his legal troubles was brutal for the Tampa Bay Rays, but it appears they have another star in Junior Caminero. The youngster is batting .259 with 21 home runs already in what will be his first full big league season. Caminero has gone deep four times in his last 10 games alone.
The 21-year-old will face Twins starter Chris Paddack today, who's prone to the long ball. He’s surrendered 13 of them in 17 starts this season and just allowed two in his most recent outing against the Tigers.
Caminero is 2-for-3 lifetime against Paddack, and 16 of his homers have come against right-handed pitchers. He’s already left the yard against the Twins in this season, too. Caminero may just add to Paddack’s misery in the series opener.
