Home Run Picks for Today

Kyle Tucker to Hit a Home Run (+360)

There are five games today that start before 4 p.m. ET. Among those early starts, Kyle Tucker is my favorite home run pick.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing righty Miles Mikolas, and they bring sky-high upside to the table. LA is listed at -138 odds to go over 5.5 runs, and while you can make a homer case for several guys in their lineup, Tucker is where I land.

In 2025, Tucker posted a .364 wOBA and 43.4% fly-ball rate against righties while Mikolas surrendered a 45.8% fly-ball rate and 1.79 dingers per nine innings to lefties.

It certainly doesn't hurt Tucker's chances that the wind is blowing out to center at 13 MPH.

Julio Rodriguez to Hit a Home Run (+390)

Julio Rodriguez was significantly more productive away from pitcher-friendly Seattle last year, and when you add in a date with a meh lefty, this is a good spot for him to leave the yard.

In 2025, J-Rod put up a .385 wOBA on the road, compared to a .294 wOBA at home. Of his 32 jacks, 23 came on the road.

Rodriguez also mashed his way to a 43.3% hard-hit rate versus southpaws, and today, he'll see Reid Detmers, a left-hander who has allowed a 42.0% fly-ball rate to righties over his career.

Carlos Correa to Hit a Home Run (+470)

Playing at the Athletics' homer-friendly temporary home, the Houston Astros are on my radar -- especially the Astros' right-handed bats. I nearly wrote up Christian Walker (+310), but I'm going to take a stab at Carlos Correa's longer odds.

I'm into Houston's righties because the A's starting pitcher is left-hander Jeffrey Springs. A year ago, Springs struggled to a 4.60 SIERA and 45.8% fly-ball rate. Right-handed hitters got to him for 1.66 homers per nine, and he gave up 1.86 dingers per nine at home.

Correa is trying to bounce back following a down 2025 campaign, and he's off to a good start, recording a .380 expected wOBA over his first 30 plate appearances. Even in a meh 2025 season, he registered a .345 wOBA and 41.0% hard-hit rate against southpaws.
