Free MLB Home Run Picks for June 7

The Sunday MLB schedule featured games from afternoon until well into the night, highlighting some significant matchups among the 15 contests. The Los Angeles Dodgers sought a three-game sweep of their Freeway Series with the L.A. Angels, concluding the day with Sunday Night Baseball where the Chicago Cubs hosted the San Francisco Giants. Fans had plenty of players to consider for home run bets on that day, and experts identified two picks worth focusing on.

Mike Trout, the star outfielder for the Angels, was one of the top home run picks despite a recent slump, going 0-for-10 over his past three games. With odds of +323 at DraftKings, Trout was deemed due for a breakout, especially considering his matchup against Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan (3-2, 4.50 ERA), who had allowed five home runs in his last four starts. Despite struggling lately, Trout led the Angels with 14 home runs, although he hadn't hit one since May 30 against the Rays.

At age 34, Trout faced challenges related to injuries over the years, but he retained the potential for power. Experts suggested that facing Sheehan could offer Trout the opportunity to regain his rhythm, with a home run or two anticipated as possible outcomes.

Another strong pick was Rafael Devers of the Giants, carrying odds of +360 at FanDuel. Devers, who hit his eighth home run of the season Saturday, faced a tricky proposition as consecutive home runs are difficult to come by. However, his matchup with Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon (2-5, 5.13 ERA) on Sunday appeared favorable. Devers held a career record of 4-for-13 against Taillon, with two home runs and six RBIs logged.

Taillon had surrendered a league-high 20 home runs in the season so far, with a majority of them occurring since May. He notably allowed five home runs in a single game, which provided further optimism for Devers’ prospects in the upcoming game. The period leading up to June 7 had built anticipation among fans for what was expected to be an exciting slate of baseball.
