⚾ Top MLB Home Run Picks for Today

As excited as we are to hook you up with our best MLB home run picks for today, we never have a shortage of content for you. That includes our MLB expert picks for those who also want some more “standard” picks and markets. Regarding our top MLB home run picks today, here are the names that we’re about to break down for you:

 

 

🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 5/12: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact

Our helpful tools never end! You’ll also want to utilize our MLB weather report, as it’s helped us cash MLB home run picks left and right at this point. Speaking of left and right, those bats and arms are also something that we consider.

As for more advanced and underlying metrics, we’ve got our eyes on some whiff rates, strikeout rates, hard hit rates, barrel rates, and so much more to make sure that you’re getting the best MLB home run picks for today!

Sal Stewart (+352)

How could we not start with the Great American Ball Park? As if one of our favorite locations wasn’t ideal enough, the Washington Nationals are involved. James Wood has been a leadoff homer beast, and better yet, they’ve started Miles Mikolas! Therefore, our best MLB home run picks for today start with a Cincinnati slugger.

It’s a pick-your-poison scenario for sure, but it’s our job to lock in one guy. So, we’ll make it an official pick on Nathaniel Lowe. We’ve had JJ Bleday and Nathaniel Lowe homer recently, but it’s time for this powerhouse to do so. After all, 7 of his 10 homers that he’s hit have come vs. righties, and Washington’s bullpen is awful.

Their 28 homers allowed are the second-most, so we love starting our best MLB home run picks for today with Sal Stewart to hit a HR (+352 at Novig).

CJ Abrams (+390)

Look, we know that it’s the same game as the above, but the matchup is just too juicy to ignore. Frankly, you could almost do a round robin of homer picks here and come out on top. Regardless, we’re going to swap the Washington lineup for our MLB home run picks, which have been amazing early in games.

That’s why a YRFI pick is always in play, but as for the long ball, we’re locked in with the lefty. Brady Singer has the seventh-worst homer-to-fly-ball ratios in the big leagues in a HR-friendly ballpark, so it’s the perfect combo. Not only is he looking for his 10th homer, but he’s also hit ALL nine of his dingers vs. righties this season.

Given the ideal matchup and location, we’re adding to our best MLB home run picks for today with CJ Abrams to hit a HR (+390 at FanDuel).

Jordan Walker (+315)

Another location where hitters have feasted in terms of hitting bombs is the Triple-A stadium of the Sacramento River Cats. That’s the current home of the Athletics, but we’re going to be focusing on the opposition - the St. Louis Cardinals. They’re taking on lefty starter Jeffrey Springs to help us cash more MLB home run picks today.

The Cards have actually been hitting lefties well thus far, and as much as we love Alec Burleson, we’re rolling with Jordan Walker. The righty and right fielder did just go yard in St. Louis’ last game two days ago, but we’re not scared - he had back-to-back-to-back games with homers this season!

If he can hit one in three straight games, he can do so vs. Springs to help us cash another one of our best MLB home run picks on Jordan Walker to hit a HR (+315 at BetMGM).

🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today

As you’ll always find, we go above and beyond here. That means even juicier odds! While our MLB home run picks above already provide some incredible potential payouts, there’s always a way to find more on the table…

As you can see, we’ve spun things back to Cinci because, well, why not? Young at this price is as valuable as it gets when facing Singer and a poor Reds bullpen. He hit a dinger just a few days ago, so our best MLB home run longshot pick for today is Jacob Young.
