Top Home Run Picks Today – Monday, June 29

Everyone loves watching a home run, whether it be a fan in attendance, someone watching from home, or even a teammate observing from the dugout. While clobbering a ball out of the park is one way to inject new life into a game, it’s also one of the most difficult feats to achieve.

More goes into a homer than most initially consider. Ballpark dimensions and weather conditions can impact how far the baseball travels or whether it clears the fence. How fast a player swings and where he contacts the ball are also critical. At what angle is a batted-ball event induced? That doesn’t even cover the entire list. 

Daily home run projections are listed as Demons on PrizePicks, coming with higher payouts as a result. With that said, home runs can only be selected as “More” than 0.5. 

Let’s take a look at the most popular home run picks today on PrizePicks. Picks are listed at time of writing.

1. Diamondbacks 2B Ketel Marte
2. Dodgers SS Mookie Betts
3. Blue Jays 3B Kazuma Okamoto
4. Yankees 1B Paul Goldschmidt
5. Red Sox 1B Rafael Devers
6. Rockies C Hunter Goodman
7. Phillies 1B Bryce Harper
8. Orioles 1B Pete Alonso

Three home run picks stand out as potential targets today. Let’s dive into the list, including a weather report from RotoGrinders.

Diamondbacks 2B Ketel Marte

Giants vs. Diamondbacks – 9:40 p.m. ET

Giants Starting Pitcher: Tyler Mahle

MLB Weather Report: Played in a dome

• After a bit of a slow start, Marte is heating up in a major way. He posted a .524 SLG in the month of May and is maintaining a .510 mark in June.
• The 32-year-old’s peripherals are quite similar to last year’s production, such as his average exit velocity (91.5 mph vs. 90.8) and hard-hit rate (46.3% vs. 47.0%).
• Marte is swinging hard and making the most of it. His blast contact rate (squared-up effort at a high bat speed) of 22.1% is a 2.8% increase over 2025. 
• After ceding 0.71 HR/9 in 2024 and 0.52 in 2025, Mahle is up to 1.59 this season. He’s given up a jack in four of his last five starts.
• Mahle is allowing opponents to slug .457 against his 4-seam fastball. Marte owns an impressive .576 xSLG when facing the offering.

Blue Jays 3B Kazuma Okamoto

Mets vs. Blue Jays – 7:07 p.m. ET

Mets Starting Pitcher: Sean Manaea

MLB Weather Report: Played in a dome

• Okamoto’s rookie campaign is off to a roaring start, seeing him club 19 home runs and post a .228 ISO.
• The former NPB superstar has leveled up in June, as his SLG (+.110), ISO (+.024), and wRC+ (+43) are all up compared to May.
• The 29-year-old ranks in the 89th percentile or better in average exit velocity (92.0 mph), barrel rate (14.6%), and hard-hit percentage (50.0%).
• Opponents are putting bat to ball against Manaea, as his 33.5% squared-up contact share is his highest since tracking started in 2024.
• Manaea resides in the middle of the pack in barrel rate (7.6%, 48th percentile) and hard-hit clip (39.2%, 44th) allowed.

Rockies C Hunter Goodman

Marlins vs. Rockies – 8:40 p.m. ET

Marlins Starting Pitcher: Sandy Alcantara

MLB Weather Report: 88 degrees, clear skies, 10 mph west wind

• The Goodman breakout continues in his age-26 campaign, as his .535 SLG and .293 ISO are both new career bests.
• Colorado’s former fourth-round MLB Draft pick has tied last year’s personal high with a 46.9% hard-hit rate and has upped his barrel rate from 12.8% in back-to-back years to 17.2% in 2026. 
• While Goodman is hitting just .198 against 4-seam fastballs, he’s maximizing the ones he does connect on to the tune of 7 home runs and a .514 xSLG. Alcantara is yielding a .513 SLG on the pitch.
• Is Alcantara showing some chinks in his armor? Over the course of his last seven starts, he owns a 1.55 HR/9 and a 15.1% HR/FB ratio. 
• Perhaps the only area-specific weakness for Goodman is on pitches down and away out of the zone, where he’s been worth -0.1 run value. Fortunately for him, Alcantara’s posted an ugly -10.7 mark.
