Aaron Judge (+240)

Aaron Judge is not making quite as much contact as he’d like, batting just .229 so far this season, but the power is there as always. The New York Yankees superstar has nine home runs and is just two back of the league lead.

Judge will reach double digits in the home run column this afternoon against a Houston Astros pitching staff that can’t keep the ball in the park.

The Astros have allowed 42 dingers already — the second most in the majors — while their bullpen has given up an MLB-worst 25 home runs and holds a collective 6.19 ERA.

Matt Olson (+300)

The Atlanta Braves are off to a hot start, thanks in large part to Matt Olson. Atlanta ranks third in MLB with 38 home runs, and seven have come off Olson’s bat.

All seven of Olson’s dingers have come in his last 22 games as he’s batting .304 with a ridiculous 1.034 OPS in April.

Philadelphia Phillies starter Aaron Nola holds a 5.06 ERA and has allowed four home runs over five starts, including one in two of his last three games.

The left-batting Olson has hit five of his seven home runs vs. right-handed pitching and is hitting .319 with the platoon advantage this season.

Munetaka Murakami (+290)

Munetaka Murakami has had a dream start to his MLB career, with his 11 home runs tied for the lead among all batters.

The Chicago White Sox first baseman has been on fire with six home runs over his last eight contests, and I like his chances to go long again vs. a brutal Washington Nationals pitching staff.

Nats starter Foster Griffin has already given up five homers in five games, including two against the Braves last time out. Washington has allowed 48 home runs — more than any other team — with 24 of those given up by the bullpen.
