🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 4/30: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact

Some of the guys above may speak for themselves, but there are still factors to consider when it comes to making the best MLB home run predictions. Our very own MLB weather report is a solid place to start, as are more niche metrics like barrel rates and hard contact. So, let’s see all the factors for our best MLB home run picks today!

Yordan Alvarez (+330)

This is one of the guys who speaks for himself, much like Aaron Judge, Mike Trout, and other guys who are favorite targets. While that makes this a popular play for today, it’s still worthy of our MLB home run picks. First and foremost, he gets to face Baltimore Orioles starter Chris Bassitt in Game 1.

In 22 at-bats against the O’s pitcher, not only is he hitting .409 with a 1.135 slugging percentage, but he’s also got FIVE homers in that sample size! Even without that history, Alvarez is matchup-proof with his remarkable lefty power. Take this in both games of the doubleheader to start our MLB home run picks with Yordan Alvarez to hit a HR (+330 at bet365).

Kyle Schwarber (+318)

One of the other household names and one within today’s doubleheaders is Kyle Schwarber. We know that this is a “square” pick as well, but with him set to face Adrian Houser in the second of the two matchups, we simply can’t pass it up with our MLB home run picks for today’s slate.

Logan Webb is the San Francisco Giants starter for the earlier game, so you can see why we prefer the later one. Either way, the game is in Philadelphia, which is a solid ballpark for hitters. Like Alvarez, Schwarber is matchup-proof with his lefty power, and he’s also famous for his first-inning homers. Pair it with a YRFI pick, but we’ll add to our best MLB home run picks today with Kyle Schwarber to hit a HR (+318 at DraftKings).

Shea Langeliers (+320)

The Royals vs. Athletics series helped us cash a YRFI last night, so we’re going to continue exploiting the hitter-friendly confines in Sacramento. That’s what the home of the Triple-A River Cats provides us, albeit not much wind today. Even still, the catcher makes the cut for our best MLB home run picks for today.

The righty is taking on a lefty in Noah Cameron, and not only is he far from an ace, but Shea is already hitting .344 against southpaws with three homers! Even without that factor, Cameron’s a young starter who allowed three and two homers in back-to-back starts recently. So, let’s roll with Shea Langeliers to hit a HR (+320 at Novig) as part of our best MLB home run picks for today.

🚀 Longshot Home Run Pick Today: Jose Altuve (+960)

Since we’ve already picked on the O’s and starter Chris Bassitt, why not stick with the Houston Astros? Altuve may not be of the stature of Alvarez or as well-known for his power, but he is absolutely more than capable of hitting the longball. With the hitter-friendly lefty field in Baltimore, the second baseman is our best MLB home run longshot pick for today!
