Best Home Run Picks & Odds Across Today’s MLB Slate
By Daniel Destler in MLB Baseball

- Kyle Schwarber looks to capitalize on a ballyhooed matchup against a home run-prone Brady Singer at Great American Ball Park.
- Matt Olson relies on his formidable historical dominance against Mitch Keller to overcome a pitcher-friendly environment in Pittsburgh.
- Juan Soto adds another high-end power profile in a Mets-Royals matchup, as he comes into this game hitting the ball very well.
Today’s 13-game MLB slate offers plenty of home run angles, but the focus should stay on hitters with bankable power, strong matchup context, and favorable run-scoring environments. Great American Ball Park stands out as the premier power venue, while parks like PNC Park and Comerica Park require a more selective approach.
Below, we break down the top home run prop targets on today’s board, led by a premium slugger in Cincinnati and rounded out by matchup-driven power options worth monitoring once odds and confirmed lineups are posted.
Kyle Schwarber (+165) — Philadelphia Phillies vs. Cincinnati Reds
The premier power spot on today’s slate belongs to Kyle Schwarber. He enters the day leading all active hitters on the slate with a staggering 32 home runs. His elite power profile is backed by a ballyhooed .575 slugging percentage and a massive .320 ISO. Schwarber’s relentless work ethic at the plate consistently generates high-leverage volume for DFS managers and bettors alike.
The pitching matchup is an absolute dream for power hunters. Schwarber squares off against Cincinnati’s Brady Singer, who currently holds the worst home run suppression rate on the slate. Singer has surrendered an elevated 2.19 HR/9 across 82.3 innings. When a pitch-to-contact arm meets a relentless slugger who refuses to get cheated on a fastball, the mathematical edge heavily favors the batter.
To make matters even better, this game takes place at Great American Ball Park. This notoriously hitter-friendly venue averages a staggering 2.89 home runs per game. The collision of a premium slugger, a home run-prone pitcher, and a hitter’s paradise makes Schwarber our top pick on the board.
Matt Olson (+265) — Atlanta Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Matt Olson continues to be a formidable, top-tier power threat. He has launched 24 home runs this season while maintaining a .539 slugging percentage and a .270 ISO. Olson’s disciplined approach ensures he maximizes his volume metrics, rarely wasting a high-leverage at-bat. He remains a staple in daily fantasy sports lineups for good reason, combining natural talent with a cerebral approach to hitting.

Juan Soto (+260) — New York Mets vs. Kansas City Royals
Juan Soto brings elite plate discipline, premium left-handed power, and the kind of selective approach that lets him punish mistakes without chasing a bad matchup.
This is more of a talent-over-context play than the Schwarber pick, so price still matters once books post odds. But if Soto is confirmed in the lineup and the number is reasonable, his power profile makes him a dependable inclusion on the home run card.
