⚾ Top MLB Home Run Picks for Today

It’s no secret that fans love these dinger picks for the great odds/payouts that come along with them. So, they pair perfectly with our MLB expert picks on the more standard markets. We’re going to break down each of our MLB home run picks for today individually for you, but we’ve also given you a list below:

 

 

🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 4/20: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact

We want to break things down for you as well so that you can see why we like these guys based on all types of factors like our very own MLB weather report, pitcher vs. hitter matchups, contact rates, and more. So, let’s see why the guys above made the cut for our best MLB home run predictions for today.

Andy Pages (+496)

We’re going to keep it real with you today - it is not a great day for the long ball. That’s across several factors, from weather to pitching matchups, so let’s see what value we can get out of the slate. First up with our MLB home run picks for today is none other than the obvious target of Coors Field in Colorado.

Freddie Freeman is on the paternity list for the Los Angeles Dodgers right now, and Shohei Ohtani’s odds are always among the lowest available. That’s why you see a name some fans don’t even know (feel free to go Max Muncy here). Pages hit .313 against lefties last year and .333 so far this year, and gets to face Jose Quintana.

He allowed two homers vs. LA when he last faced them, so let’s grab an under-the-radar target with our best MLB home run picks today and start with Andy Pages to hit a HR (+475 at bet365).

Matt Olson (+410)

We targeted Olson once last week, and while it ended up being Austin Riley who went yard (twice), we still cashed our longshot pick on Michael Harris! In fact, he just hit a homer last night in Philly, but we’re back to Olson in Washington. After all, when we see Jake Irvin, we immediately look for MLB home run picks.

Nationals Park is also hitter-friendly, and in Irvin’s two starts against the Atlanta Braves last year, he allowed three home runs. One of those was by the bat of Olson, and he’s seeing the ball well right now. He just went 2-for-3 with a double to help sweep the Philadelphia Phillies, so who needs a rest day anyway?

In another NL East rivalry, we’re locking in Matt Olson to hit a HR (+410 at FanDuel) as part of our best MLB home run picks for today.

Yandy Diaz (+710)

Rounding out our top three has us heading to Tampa Bay, who go from one NL Central team (Pittsburgh Pirates) to another (Cincinnati Reds). This game being in Cincy would make hitting bombs even more potent, but we still have this matchup as part of our MLB home run picks with Rhett Lowder toeing the rubber.

That’s good news for the Rays’ lineup, as he’s a very young starter. He hasn't been as bad as the worst out there, but we have seen him allow eight runs across his last two starts. Tampa had Junior Caminero go yard against Pittsburgh yesterday, and now we’re looking at their DH, who has incredible odds in our opinion.

These are juicier than Cedric Mullens, so we’re adding to our MLB home run picks with Yandy Diaz to hit a HR (+710 at Novig).

🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today

The plays above will already provide some juicy payouts should those guys go yard, but it never hurts to have some bonus action! In addition to our top MLB home run picks above, here’s our best MLB home run longshot for today:

It’s all about Cal Raleigh in the Athletics vs. Mariners series, but why not McNeil? Seattle starter Emerson Hancock has allowed a HR in two of his last three starts, so let’s hit another longshot as part of our best MLB home run picks today!
