🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 5/24: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact
Sunday's early games kick off just after 12 PM ET, making our MLB weather report a must-check before first pitch. May afternoon conditions at several of today's parks can shift significantly by game time. Brady Singer in Cincinnati and Jose Quintana at Chase Field in Arizona are two names that immediately stand out from a HR/FB perspective, but that’s just at first glance. Here is how our three best MLB home run picks for today break down:
Spencer Steer (+490)
Well, if we hit TWO of our top MLB predictions in Cardinals vs. Reds yesterday, how could we not go back to that series? Of course, the venue remains the same, so let’s cash in with the Great American Ball Park yet again. It’s also not the only reason for more MLB home run picks today - we also have Brycen Mautz on the mound.
If you’re wondering, “who?” that’s because this lefty is making his MLB debut! It was Elly De La Cruz that hit for us last night, but now, we’ve got a name that most fans will likely sweep under the rug. This righty is hitting southpaws to the tune of .341/.659/1.055 this season, so let’s start our best MLB home run picks for today with Spencer Steer to hit a HR (+490 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
Luke Raley (+600)
We’re going to need the rain to hold up in Cincinnati again, so let’s head to a matchup where that isn’t a concern. That would be the Mariners vs. Royals series. The afternoon conditions in KC are fantastic for both fans to enjoy the game and MLB home run picks, especially when it comes to Seattle hitting Seth Lugo.
The righty allows plenty of hard contact and simply can’t get guys to chase or swing and miss, so that’s great news for dingers. You’ve seen us roll with Julio Rodriguez recently, but for today, we’re locked in with a lefty. The Mariners outfielder has a .933 OPS against southpaws this season, which includes 10 homers!
With that type of longball success, we’re adding to our best MLB home run picks for today with Luke Raley to hit a HR (+600 at bet365 Sportsbook).
Alec Burleson (+399)
Ok, if you’re willing to be patient through a potential weather delay in Cinci, there is another great matchup with the Reds sending Brady Singer to the mound. We picked on him before with his 22.6% HR/FB ratio, which is the second-highest in all of baseball! Yesterday, it was Jordan Walker that cashed in for our top MLB home run picks.
When making that pick, we had said that it was pick-your-poison with Alec Burleson. That’s because the Cards’ first baseman is hitting .324/.540/.950 against righties this season with 6 of his homers. Along with his 48.1% hard-hit rate, the lefty is ideal in this spot. So, let’s continue our best MLB home run picks for today with Alec Burleson to hit a HR (+399 at Novig Sportsbook).
🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today
Sunday's depth gives us a genuine longshot opportunity worth swinging on. The matchup we have in mind offers a number that is hard to pass up given the circumstances:
This Nationals vs. Braves series also had some weather delays last night, but they still got it in. With Atlanta facing lefty Foster Griffin’s high HR/FB ratio, we love this spot in terms of value. He avoids swing-and-misses very well and his sweet-spot rate is elite, so Mauricio Dubon is our best MLB longshot home run pick for today.
