A total of 25 players hit home runs in Monday's smaller slate - did you profit off any of them?

Here are Tuesday's best bets to go yard.

Juan Soto, Nationals (TBD)

So far, all the talk surrounding Soto this season has been whether or not the slugger had COVID-19, with the outfielder insisting he was the victim of a false positive.

Regardless, he's been cleared by MLB and is expected to make his return on Tuesday. You can bet he's chomping at the bit to come back with a vengeance and put all this behind him. Last season, Soto was three-for-five with a double and a triple against Steven Matz who, while pitching well through two starts so far this season, has already been tagged for three home runs.

There aren't odds available yet for Soto, but be on the lookout for them once the Washington Nationals release the lineup.

J.D. Davis, Mets (+400)

Few are seeing the ball much better right now than Davis, who has a hit in eight straight games. Both of his home runs this season have come on the road, and he will have a chance to add to that tally at Nationals Park tonight against Patrick Corbin. Davis teed off against Corbin during the 2019 season, going 5-for-15 against him with three home runs. At 4-1, he's well worth backing to do so again.

Mike Yastrzemski, Giants (+330)

What better place to comb for home runs than Coors Field? Yastrzemski is off to an excellent start to the season, hitting his third home run in six games in last night's series opener at Coors. He's hitting .333 and slugging .692 through 11 games this season with seven extra-base hits.

He raked at Coors last season, going 10-for-30 with three doubles and three home runs, with the bulk of that coming against German Marquez. He was 3-for-5 against Marquez with two doubles and a home run, and with the way he's seeing the ball right now, he's good value to hit another against the Venezuelan pitcher.
