⚾ Top MLB Home Run Picks for Today

Wednesday's depth gives our best MLB home run picks for today multiple angles to work through. As for more approaches, our MLB expert picks have you covered with a variety of markets. Now, for dingers, here are the three names leading our top MLB home run predictions today:

 

 

🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 6/3: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact

Our MLB weather report is worth checking before any of today's best MLB home run picks are locked in. Chris Paddack in Cincinnati and Andre Pallante drawing the start in St. Louis are among the pitching names worth flagging for HR/FB tendencies alongside the marquee arms. Since you’ve already seen the names, let’s also share how our best MLB home run picks for today break down:

Shea Langeliers (+325)

So there’s been a series at Wrigley Field this week, yet we haven’t targeted it with the long ball a single time. Most fans know that the winds there are as receptive as they get, and that also means on a day-by-day basis. After blowing directly in just last night, we now have more favorable conditions for MLB home run picks.

It’s also favorable that the Chicago Cubs are starting Colin Rea today. Nick Kurtz has been one of the best hitters this season, but let’s not forget about the A’s catcher. Shea Langeliers ended a recent HR drought by hitting 1 in each of the past 2 series, while Rea has allowed at least one homer in 4 of his last 5 starts - 6 in total.

On top of that, while the Cubs bullpen has been solid ERA-wise, they’ve still given up 28 dingers this year. With the conditions at Wrigley today, let’s start our best MLB home run picks with Shea Langeliers to hit a HR (+325 at FanDuel).

Byron Buxton (+300)

For one of today’s early afternoon games, we’re going back to a guy that we targeted not long ago. Admittedly, Buxton wasn’t the one to come through for us that day, but we’re willing to pull for a leadoff homer from the righty slugger again. He may not have the Wrigley winds, but facing Erick Fedde is why we love this as part of our best MLB home run picks for today.

Buxton’s issue is chasing too much - always has been, likely always will be. Well, Fedde simply doesn’t get guys to chase; his 24% chase rate and 16.2% whiff rate are among the worst in baseball. The only thing that would make this pick even better is if he preferred to throw just 4-seamers, but even still, the rest of his arsenal doesn’t scare us.

Let’s extend our 7-day streak as early as possible with a 1st-inning homer in an afternoon game by adding to our best MLB home run picks for today with Byron Buxton to hit a HR (+300 at bet365).

Austin Riley (+590)

Ok, call this one a heat check if you will. The Atlanta Braves are facing old divisional rival Patrick Corbin today, which means plenty of batter vs. pitcher history. So, if you just want to chalk pick, it’s Matt Olson, and with the tear Ronald Acuna, Jr. was just on, he’s a target as well. However, after a +550 cash last night with our MLB home run picks, let’s get another big one for tonight.

These odds are so long because Riley simply hasn’t been hitting lefties as well as he has throughout his career. We can’t just trust years of history forever if he isn’t going to show it, but Corbin is where he can do so. Since it’s not a small sample size, we’re going to mention it - in 29 ABs, Riley has a .310 average, .724 slugging and 1.124 OPS vs. Corbin.

The Toronto Blue Jays lefty simply doesn’t do anything particularly well, so we’re adding to our best MLB home run picks for today with Austin Riley to hit a HR (+590 at DraftKings).

🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today

A Wednesday card this deep always hides at least one price that is too good to ignore. While there are actually a few to consider today, here’s what we’re rolling with:

This spot’s going to surprise some fans with the Boston Red Sox starting Payton Tolle, but this is a longshot after all! Baltimore Orioles’ center fielder actually has one of the top hard-hit rates of any guy that would even qualify as a longshot (47.3%), and with Tolle’s heater to righties, that means high exit velocity. Let’s roll with the O’s for our best MLB longshot home run pick today!
