Paul Goldschmidt has not had the MLB season, hitting just 21 home runs this year. However, the St. Louis Cardinals star has the best possible pitching matchup today vs. the Colorado Rockies. Ryan Feltner (3-10, 4.73 ERA) will be on the mound.


4) Taylor Ward: +350

Taylor Ward has perhaps the second-most advantageous pitching matchup against the Chicago White Sox. Jonathan Cannon (4-10, 4.61 ERA) is opposing him today. The Los Angeles Angels slugger has hit 25 homers this year, with seven coming in September.


3) Kyle Schwarber: +340

Kyle Schwarber hit his 37th home run of the season last night. In a division-clinching win, he went deep.

Today, Schwarber faces Justin Steele (5-5, 3.03 ERA). Nine of his home runs have come this month as the Philadelphia Phillies surged to a division title.


2) Shohei Ohtani: +310

Shohei Ohtani has a theoretical chance to hit 60 home runs this season. It's a long shot, but if he's going to do it, it's going to be thanks to a flurry of home runs, which is possible for him. He has 53 of them but he does face Michael King (12-9, 3.04 ERA) today.


1) Aaron Judge: +285

Aaron Judge has hit 55 home runs so far (Imagn)

Aaron Judge has seemingly put his small slump behind him, and the New York Yankees slugger is back to mashing. He has 55 home runs, the most in MLB, and has a solid chance of adding to that today. He faces Baltimore Orioles starter Dean Kremer (7-10, 4.19 ERA).
