It’s “Swing-for-the-Fences Saturday,” with three sluggers ready for some weekend fireworks. Ronald Acuna Jr. gets Zack Wheeler, whom he’s already taken deep four times. Colson Montgomery faces Taj Bradley, who’s allowed 15 homers to lefties and four over his last four starts. Hunter Goodman draws Matthew Liberatore at Coors Field, with 18 homers allowed to righties.
Acuña, Montgomery and Goodman have the matchups and power to send one into the seats Saturday.

Best Home Run Props Today
Ronald Acuna Jr. Home Run Bet (+513)
Acuna Jr. is starting to find that MVP-level boom again, crushing five homers in August before wasting little time going deep in September. Saturday brings an old friend in Zack Wheeler, whom Acuna has already taken yard four times in his career. Ten of his 14 bombs have come against righties. Wheeler is tough, but history is history, and I’m riding Acuna on Saturday.
Colson Montgomery Home Run Bet (+TBD)
Montgomery apparently forgot to turn off the power switch when August ended. He crushed three homers over his final nine games before launching No. 30 on Friday. Now he gets Taj Bradley, who’s served up 15 bombs to lefties and four over his last four starts. With 21 of Montgomery’s homers coming against righties, I’m riding the heater Saturday.
Hunter Goodman Home Run Bet (+TBD)
Goodman has been handing out Coors Field souvenirs all season, crushing 36 homers and closing in on the big 4-0. He’s already taken Matthew Liberatore deep before, and the lefty has coughed up 18 bombs to right-handed hitters this season, including five homers over his last three starts. Add in that beautiful Colorado launching pad, and I’m riding Goodman to send another one into orbit Saturday.
