🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 5/26: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact

Evening games across the Eastern and Central time zones mean our MLB weather report is worth checking before the first pitch of the slate. We also have pitchers worth examining for HR/FB tendencies, not to mention handedness matchups to consider. Here is how our three featured best MLB home run picks for today break down:

Hunter Goodman (+345)

Last night, it was Bobby Witt, Jr. who cashed for us, and another name that we targeted was Shohei Ohtani. Going against Colorado Rockies lefty starter Kyle Freeland at Dodger Stadium, he is absolutely a name to consider as well. As for switching up our best MLB home run picks for today (and for a bigger payout), we have another name worthy of making the cut.

We’re actually swapping to the other side of the matchup, as LA is also starting a struggling lefty. The Toronto Blue Jays no longer wanted Eric Lauer, and his struggles set things up nicely for Hunter Goodman to hit one over the fence. The righty is often the focus of the lineup when facing a southpaw, as Mickey Moniak is often rested.

With the catcher sitting near the top of the lineup, we’re starting our best MLB home run picks for today with Hunter Goodman to hit a HR (+345 at BetMGM).

Ben Rice (+400)

Let us quickly note another target from yesterday - Nick Kurtz. The lefty has another strong matchup at home against Seattle Mariners starter Emerson Hancock. In fact, we also noted Shea Langeliers yesterday, who ended up hitting one over the fence. We’ll get to that series coming up, but let’s add to our top MLB home run picks with the Yankees vs. Royals series.

In other words, let’s make it back-to-back winners in KC. We’ll swap to the Bronx Bombers this time around, as they’ll be facing either an opener or Bailey Falter, along with the Royals' poor bullpen. The Yankees need to start living up to that nickname, and for more value than the popular Aaron Judge target, we’re on the lefty.

He has just one fewer homer than Judge this season, and we’re getting a far better payout, so let’s add to our best MLB home run picks for today with Ben Rice to hit a HR (+400 at Caesars).

Matt Olson (+456)

When it comes to the Braves vs. Red Sox series, we have a bit of a toss-up between Matt Olson and Austin Riley. The 2 take on lefty Ranger Suarez from Boston today, and both have a career’s worth of hitting lefties. We’re sticking with the lefty-on-lefty crime with our MLB home run picks, given the location.

The Green Monster makes things less friendly to righties who pull the ball more often than not, which gives just the slight edge to Matt Olson. Suarez is also a sinker pitcher, which also provides us with confidence backing Olson. Along with him simply having the stronger season, we’re continuing our best MLB home run picks for today with Matt Olson to hit a HR (+456 at Novig).

🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today

A huge Tuesday card always produces a number worth chasing deep into the plus-money. Today's longshot comes from a matchup where the park and the pitcher create real opportunity:

We said that we’d be getting back to Mariners vs. Athletics, and here we are. Even if the names don’t always look flashy, any big leaguer has at least a reasonable chance of hitting a dinger in Sacramento. This lefty hit 1 the day after we targeted him last time, so let’s get the right day this time with our MLB home run longshot pick!
