🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 4/28: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact

So, why did those guys make the cut for our MLB home run predictions? Firstly, make sure that you’re always checking in with our MLB weather report, and we’ll take care of the rest. We’ll do so by checking out some pitching matchups & splits, bullpen performances, and more overlooked metrics like barrel rates and hard contact rates.

With those factors in mind and even more to break down, let’s get into why we love our best MLB home run picks for today!

Elly De La Cruz (+400)

As soon as fans see the Colorado Rockies in action, their mind immediately goes to the long ball. Well, that’s the case today; however, it’s actually NOT because the game is at Coors Field. In fact, we love making MLB home run picks in Cincinnati even more with the Reds at home in the Great American Ball Park.

It’s helped Elly De La Cruz rack up nine homers this season, so let’s get that double-digit mark. He’s hit three over the past five games alone, and Colorado has had both Tomoyuki Sugano and Kyle Freeland as starters for today. We don’t care which one it is with how well he’s seeing the ball right now, so let’s start our best MLB home run picks for today with Elly De La Cruz to hit a HR (+400 at bet365).

Mickey Moniak (+323)

We’re going to keep things simple by staying in that same game and just swapping to the other side of the matchup. The Rockies also get the benefit of the Great American Ball Park, plus the opportunity to face Chase Burns on the mound. He’s been great for cashing MLB home run picks, having allowed four over his last four starts.

The last time he pitched at home, he allowed two homers as well. Colorado’s got a few good targets, Hunter Goodman being another one. Instead, we’re going to go with the lefty taking on the righty Burns for the matchup. After all, he’s already got eight dingers this year, so let’s make Mickey Moniak to hit a HR (+323 at FanDuel) part of our best MLB home run picks for today as well.

William Contreras (+514)

Speaking of guys giving up the long ball, there is perhaps no better target than Merrill Kelly of the Arizona Diamondbacks. He’s clearly not in form yet after not getting his first start until April 14, allowing a homer in that game and THREE more in his next start. So, it’s no shock that we’re picking on him with our best MLB home run picks today.

We’ll do so by grabbing some value with William Contreras. He’s got just two dingers so far this year, but he’s more than powerful enough to go on a surge here soon. With five hits over the last six games, it’s certainly not as if he’s slumping, either. With the matchup against Kelly, we’ll add to our top MLB home run picks today with William Contreras to hit a HR (+514 at DraftKings).

🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today

While those are our top three targets, let’s keep the value coming. We’ll do so in a big way with our best MLB home run longshot pick for today:

Why not get a Los Angeles Dodger in the mix? They get to have Shohei Ohtani on the mound for themselves while facing Janson Junk himself. Along with the game at home in Dodger Stadium, our best MLB home run longshot pick for today is on Hyeseong Kim!
