Best MLB Home Run Bets & Picks: Coors Field Special (July 30)
Oakland Athletics vs. Colorado Rockies | 3:10 p.m. ET
Tyler Soderstrom at FanDuel
Tyler Soderstrom is locked into the DH hole and batting seventh in the order today against lefty Ty Blach. Soderstrom is making just his 12th start in the big leagues and has yet to hit a home run, so it will feel even better when the rookie goes yard today at Coors Field. Soderstrom, a lefty, hit .279 against left-handed pitching in the minors this season, with six home runs and three doubles. He has the pop to lift one out, and the price is too good to ignore on FanDuel. The next best price is +425 on DraftKings.

Texas Rangers vs. San Diego Padres | 4:11 p.m. ET
Fernando Tatis Jr. at FanDuel
FanDuel comes in again in beating the market for the second home run pick. The price is not pretty at +235, but Fernando Tatis Jr. is a lefty killer. He will face off against Cody Bradford, whose advanced numbers are concerning. He ranks in the bottom 10% of the league in average exit velocity and barrel percentage. Bradford has given up seven home runs in just 116 plate appearances against right-handed batters. Tatis, being one of the best righties in the league, has all the makings to leave the yard today at home.
