CBS Sports highlights home run props for MLB Sunday slate

CBS Sports published betting analysis for Major League Baseball games on Sunday, 7 June 2026, focusing on home run prop bets across the day’s 15 contests. The publication highlights specific player matchups, recommending Los Angeles Angels batter Mike Trout against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan, and Boston Red Sox batter Rafael Devers against Chicago Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon.

The recommendation for Trout comes despite the Angels star currently being in a slump, having gone 0-for-10 over his past three games. His last home run occurred on 30 May against the Tampa Bay Rays. However, CBS Sports notes that Trout still leads the Angels with 14 home runs this season. The analysis points to Sheehan, who holds a 3-2 record with a 4.50 ERA, as a vulnerable target, having allowed five home runs over his past four starts.

For the Boston Red Sox, the focus is on Devers, who hit one home run on Saturday to bring his season total to eight. The outlet suggests Devers has a strong chance to hit back-to-back home runs against Taillon. The Cubs right-hander has a 2-5 record with a 5.13 ERA and has allowed 20 home runs this season, the most in MLB, with 11 of those coming since the start of May.

Historical performance is also cited as a factor for the Devers pick. He is 4-for-13 with two home runs and six RBIs in his career against Taillon. The analysis further notes that Taillon has a 5.68 ERA in night games this season, adding to the potential for offensive production in the evening matchup.

The publication, which follows a previous newsletter on 14 May 2026 featuring MLB betting insights, promotes DraftKings and FanDuel promo codes alongside the picks. The Sunday schedule includes the Dodgers seeking a three-game sweep of the Freeway Series against the Angels, and is capped by Sunday Night Baseball featuring the Chicago Cubs hosting the San Francisco Giants.
