🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 7/26: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact

While those are just the names that are on our radar, we know that some fans out there will want to know why. Well, our very own MLB weather report tool is the perfect place to start for MLB home run picks, and then we dive into the starters like the ones we’ve been referring to thus far.

Of course, the names of the hitters that will be doing the actual knock-it-out-of-the-park swings are the other biggest factor. From their slugging percentages to hard-hit rates and factors in between like the pitch types that they prefer, there are countless metrics to analyze for us to hook you up with the absolute best MLB home run picks!

Yordan Alvarez (+209)

Our chalk pick yesterday was Kyle Schwarber, and his AL counterpart is Yordan Alvarez. These are likely to be the two bats that battle for the home run lead down the stretch of the season, and a close race is even more motivating to hit dingers. Of course, that’s just the underlying motivation to begin the reasoning behind the start of our best MLB home run picks for today.

Most importantly, Yordan has the luxury of facing Erick Fedde today. The Chicago White Sox may end up giving him an opener, but that’s just fine as well. After all, they have a mediocre bullpen that doesn’t scare us, and Yordan is essentially the gold standard for all the percentile metrics you see us often refer to (such as his 100th percentile xSLG of .718)!

We could truly rattle off so many unreal values, but they all add up to it being a no-brainer to lead off our top MLB home run picks today with Yordan Alvarez hitting a HR (+209 at Novig).

Ryan Jeffers (+425)

There is quite literally no pitcher that has been better to target for the longball than Jeffrey Springs this season. He’s the lefty that is starting for the A’s today, and he’s allowed a whopping 27 homers this season! It’d be an even juicier target against the Twins if he was a righty, but he’s still reason enough to add to our best MLB home run picks with Minnesota.

The Twins have several hitters that seem to remain under-the-radar, and they also may have the motivation to perform as well as possible leading up to the trade deadline for a potential new team. Springs and an A’s bullpen that has allowed 65 homers and has the worst ERA could allow several of them to do just that.

Since we have to lock one in for our top MLB home run picks today (take Byron Buxton if you’re ok with another guy with very low odds), we’re rolling with Ryan Jeffers hitting a HR (+425 at bet365).

James Wood (+313)

Look, we know this is another chalk name, but these are not chalk odds. They almost don’t even feel right, as the Diamondbacks are starting a rookie lefty that has just one career appearance in the big leagues. That would be Kohl Drake, and while he didn’t allow any MLB home run picks to cash in his MLB debut, that’s just one sample.

We’re talking about James Wood here, who is arguably the best hitter in baseball in the eyes of some and has double-digit leadoff homers alone. On a Sunday when all eyes are on the diamond, this is a spot for another one. Of course, it’s also more about his 100th percentile average exit velocity, barrel rate and hard-hit rate!

With his 99th percentile expected slugging, he’s essentially the NL version of Yordan Alvarez. Let’s see him make up for the loss of Curtis Mead (traded to the Red Sox last night!) by cashing one of our best MLB home run picks for today that’s on James Wood hitting a HR (+313 at Novig).

🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today

It was just two nights ago that we cashed in with a +900 play added on to our top three MLB home run picks. So, for our top value individual play, here’s who is on our radar today.

Nick Loftin homered for the Royals yesterday, who had odds in the +1000’s, and we’re back on the KC matchup. Comerica Park in Detroit is about the opposite of KC’s home ballpark, but we’ll happily take these odds on a guy who has multiple 20+ HR seasons and a 38-homer campaign. While he’s become an MLB home run longshot pick, it’s our favorite of the day against the league’s worst bullpen and starter Luinder Avila!

💲 Today’s Best MLB Home Run Parlay

We made sure to specify above that it was our top “individual” play, as we have yet another way to add to our best MLB home run picks. That’s with a for-fun parlay that you can use in multiple ways.

You can use this in multiple ways because you can always just pluck a single name out of that trio for a standalone play!
