🔥 Best Matchups for Home Runs Today, 6/5: Ballpark Factors & Weather Impact

Our MLB weather report is worth a check before locking in any best MLB home run picks today. Seth Lugo in Minnesota and Adrian Houser in Milwaukee are among the pitching names worth examining for HR/FB tendencies alongside the headliners. Here is how our three featured best MLB home run picks for today break down:

Max Muncy (+410)

With it being time to start a new streak, we’re going to get things underway with somewhat of a chalk pick, but it’s far from taking the easy way out. Shohei Ohtani would be, but after pitching and hitting last night, will he be in the lineup? Regardless, runs have not been hard to come by for LA vs. Arizona, including cashing some MLB home run picks.

While Ohtani didn’t go yard while also taking the mound last night, he did have a solid 2-hit game with a run and an RBI to help the Dodgers grab a smooth 7-0 victory. He’s got 14 homers on the year and gets to face Ryne Nelson, a guy who likes keeping things in the zone. He does virtually nothing but throw 4-seamers, so there will be no tripping up Muncy.

It also translates to high exit velocities, so let’s start up our best MLB home run picks for today with Max Muncy to hit a HR (+410 at FanDuel).

Ben Rice (+300)

We’re going to swap from one high-profile team, the Dodgers, to another one, the Yankees. It’s a cross-country swap, but we expect both matchups to feature the long ball. After all, there were 5 of them hit at Yankee Stadium last night, and that’s without Aaron Judge in the lineup. Of course, he’s always a fan-favorite for MLB home run picks.

While dealing with his bone bruise, our attention is turning to Ben Rice. We’ve targeted him a couple of times, and he’s cashed for us the last time we did; he gets to take on Cleveland Guardians starter Slade Cecconi today. Rice is hitting .303 with a .662 slugging vs. righties this season, including a .333 vs. cutters.

That’s what Slade prefers to mix in against southpaws, so we’re going to add to our best MLB home run picks for today with Ben Rice to hit a HR (+300 at bet365).

Brice Turang (+535)

Let’s transition to the monster payouts coming up with a bit of a value play. We cashed Corbin Carroll at +550 just 2 nights ago, and if you want a different target for this game, Jake Bauers is also in play. However, we love the odds we’re getting for a lefty that hits far better against righties, hence the addition to our MLB home run picks.

To go along with Turang’s .541 slugging vs. right-handed pitching, San Francisco Giants starter Adrian Houser has been struggling vs. lefties this season. Southpaws have a .637 slugging against him, and in terms of his sinker, Turang is hitting .400 against those this season. Let’s get an extreme value with our best MLB home run picks for today by adding in Brice Turang to hit a HR (+535 at DraftKings).

🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today

Even with a lighter slate, there are always diamonds in the rough. So, let’s get an even bigger potential payout leading into the weekend. Here is where our MLB home run picks are pointing for the big-price play today:

You’ve seen us take longshots as high as +1400 while also cashing some from +900 to +1100. So, while this isn’t the craziest one that we’ve locked in, it’s one that feels extremely valuable. Since making his season debut, Holliday has been solid with 22 HRR and, most importantly, gets to face Brayan Bello today. Hopefully, he takes on the Red Sox starter twice to help us cash our best MLB longshot home run pick for today!
