Oneil Cruz Home Run Odds
We’ll stick with yesterday’s cover player Oneil Cruz to go yard again today, who faces Zebby Matthews who has had a rough outing in his last two starts. He has allowed three home runs and five earned runs in those last two starts, while Cruz is on a tear himself.
Cruz has recorded a hit in his last nine games against the Minnesota Twins, while also hitting a home run in four of his last five home games when facing the American League.

Joc Pederson Home Run Odds
Speaking of guys on a tear, Joc Pederson is absolutely crushing the ball with five home runs in his last five games. He has gone yard in four of his last five games and faces Michael Wacha who has allowed six runs in his last three starts. Wacha has also allowed seven home runs over his las nine starts, while historically struggling against Pederson.
Joc has slashed around .270 against Wacha which includes seven hits and two home runs. Pederson is also batting .300 against the Royals lifetime, with three home runs in his last 10 games.

Julio Rodriguez Home Run Odds
Julio Rodriguez is another player on a hot streak, hitting a home run in his last three games along with four of his last six overall. He has recorded an impressive nine RBIs over his last six games and in his 25 games against Arizona has recorded a near .360 batting average and OPS above 1.050. He also faces Merrill Kelly who is allowing a lot of earned runs.
Kelly has been better at keeping the ball inside the park, but has allowed 26 earned runs over his last seven starts. The sample size is small, with Julio batting .333 in nine at-bats against Kelly.
