🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 6/2: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact
Our MLB weather report is always worth checking before locking in any MLB home run picks. Kevin Gausman, facing a lineup with real power potential, Grayson Rodriguez and Dustin May are among the pitching names worth examining for HR/FB tendencies across Tuesday's full card. Here is how our three featured best MLB home run picks for today break down:
Yordan Alvarez (+285)
It was a lefty that came through for us nice and early last night, and we’re going to start with a lefty for tonight as well. Without a doubt, Yordan Alvarez is the bigger name compared to JJ Bleday, and he’ll be taking on a flamethrower in Bubba Chandler tonight. That’s in part why the Houston Astros slugger is leading off our top MLB home run picks today.
Sure, Chandler can throw some heat, but that also translates to extremely high exit velocities. Truthfully, we actually hope that he DOESN’T have his walk issues tonight, as we want him to keep things in the zone for Alvarez. Chandler walked just 2 batters in his last start, which were 2 of the first 3 batters of the entire game before never walking another.
Against a guy who loves throwing 4-seamers, we’ll lock in Yordan Alvarez to hit a HR (+285 at FanDuel) as the first of our best MLB home run picks for today.
Bryce Harper (+445)
To focus on another premier lefty bat, we’re going to swap from Space City to the City of Brotherly Love. That means the aforementioned coast-to-coast clash of Padres vs. Phillies, but rather than targeting Aaron Nola that we referred to, we’re going to pick on San Diego starter Randy Vasquez with our top MLB home run picks today.
Of course, the chalk pick here is Kyle Schwarber, but we’re going to grab far more value with Harper. This is no longshot by any means, but we’re getting a far better potential payout for the hitter who has been more consistent against cutters/curveballs/change-ups. That’s the arsenal that Vasquez prefers vs. lefties.
While the 4-seamer will still be seen to help Schwarber, both guys can go yard. So, we’ll add to our best MLB home run picks for today with Bryce Harper to hit a HR (+445 at BetMGM).
Corbin Carroll (+550)
The Arizona Diamondbacks just upset the Los Angeles Dodgers last night, but can they do it again? While we don’t need to worry about it for our picks here, they absolutely can with LA starting Eric Lauer on the mound. The former Toronto Blue Jays starter is no longer up north for a reason, hence us picking on him for our top MLB home run picks.
The sheer fact that he’s a lefty is enough reason to target Carroll here. While he’s an all-around amazing player, if there is one thing that you had to pick that he is best at, it’s crushing southpaws. That’s been the case throughout his young career, and this year alone, he’s mashing them with a .420 average and 1.156 OPS.
Those are some crazy numbers and enough to make Corbin Carroll hitting a HR (+550 at bet365) part of our best MLB home run picks for today.
🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today
Tuesday's full-league card always has a number sitting at a price that feels too generous once you dig into the matchup. Today's longshot is exactly that kind of spot:
Somehow, we haven’t targeted a matchup where Miles Mikolas is on the mound. He’s been getting openers for his recent starts, and on top of his high HR/FB ratio, the Nationals bullpen has recently leapfrogged a few others for the MOST homers allowed with 40! We absolutely love the value with our MLB longshot home run pick today.
