Best home run picks for Tuesday, June 16
- Alec Burleson, St. Louis Cardinals (+490)
- Jackson Chourio, Milwaukee Brewers (+418)
Alec Burleson, Cardinals (+490, FanDuel)
Burleson, St. Louis’ big first baseman, has gotten hot. His overall numbers this year are great — .287/.351/.496 (.847 OPS) with 13 homers and 52 RBIs — and he’s been great of late, hitting five home runs since June 8, tied for the most in baseball over that span. Burleson and the Cardinals face a tough Padres pitching staff in this series, and San Diego’s best starter Michael King gets the call on Tuesday. Burleson has five at-bats against King, picking up two hits, including a homer. We’ll target Burleson to stay hot here and get his 14th long ball of the season.

Jackson Chourio, Brewers (+418, DraftKings)
Speaking of hot, there’s Milwaukee’s Chourio. The talented young outfielder is hitting .322 on the year with a .572 SLG and .942 OPS, and he’s been on an absolute tear. Like Burleson, he’s homered five times since last Sunday. But all five of those home runs have come over Chourio’s last five games, including three over his last two. Slade Cecconi starts for Cleveland and while he’s pitched better of late, he’s been a bit of a weak spot in the Guardians’ rotation. Chourio looks locked in right now, so we’ll feed the hot hand.
