⚾ Top MLB Home Run Picks for Today

Saturday's full slate sharpens the search for our best MLB home run picks for today. Our MLB expert picks go deeper into the markets for you, but as for dingers, here are the three names leading our top MLB home run predictions for 6/6:

 

 

 

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

Our MLB weather report is essential before locking in any best MLB home run picks today. We also have Andrew Painter in Philadelphia to see if we can exploit and Matthew Liberatore in St. Louis earns a look for HR/FB tendencies before the picks are set. Along with some hitter metrics like hard-hit rates and more, here is how our three best MLB home run picks for today break down:

Miguel Vargas (+400)

After cashing with Alec Burleson last night, we’re going to get underway with another name that most fans don’t generally circle first when it comes to homers. It may not be another +500 play, but it’s still a valuable one in our eyes with how consistent the White Sox third baseman is. Of course, that’s not the only reason that he’s leading off our top MLB home run picks today.

Vargas has the benefit of facing Phillies rookie starter Andrew Painter. Admittedly, this would be even more ideal if he was a lefty, but even still, he’s not going to throw anything that a fantastic all-around hitter isn’t ready for. Rather than taking the chalk pick on Kyle Schwarber for this game (parlay coming up!), we’re starting our best MLB home run picks for today with Miguel Vargas to hit a HR (+400 at bet365 Sportsbook).

Sal Stewart (+399)

Referring back to the expert picks above, if you tailed us there, then you cashed Reds vs. Cardinals over 8.5 runs to go along with the Alec Burleson winner. Well, we’re going back to the matchup in St. Louis today where JJ Bleday is yet another option. Rather than a repeat, let’s turn our attention to a righty for our top MLB home run picks today.

Sal Stewart still has one of the league's best barrel rates and highest HRR totals and can get Matthew Liberatore back down to Earth. The lefty had 9 & 10 K’s in back-to-back starts before just 4 in his last start, proving the regression that we expected. After 10 runs from the Cards last night, it’s Cinci’s turn to smash, hence the addition to our best MLB home run picks for today of Sal Stewart to hit a HR (+399 at DraftKings Sportsbook).

Yordan Alvarez (+242)

For those of you who just want the big names, this is our chalk pick of the day. How could this not be it? The Athletics are giving Kade Morris his major league debut today and one of the first batters he’ll ever face is Yordan Alvarez. Yikes. He’s known for his lefty vs. lefty prowess, but facing a righty is still great for MLB home run picks.

After all, Yordan has crushed 13 of his 21 homers this year against righties, which is paired with a team-best .313 average, .620 slugging and 1.063 OPS vs. righties. He’s even got 11 doubles to boot, which can easily turn into homers when facing a guy making his debut in the bigs. For today’s low-hanging fruit, we’ll add to our top MLB home run picks with Yordan Alvarez to hit a HR (+242 at Novig Sportsbook).

🚀 Longshot Home Run Picks Today

Dodger Stadium is in the evening mix and that alone puts a handful of longshot prices in play that deserve attention. Here is where our MLB home run predictions are pointing for the big-price target today:

The Braxton Ashcraft vs. Spencer Strider showdown means that we are going to be seeing some HEAT thrown to the mound. While they can rack up K’s, it also means opportunities for high exit velocities. For a guy with the 7th-most HRR this season and 10 homers, these odds just don’t feel right, so the Braves slugger is our best MLB longshot home run pick for today.
