Top MLB Home Run Picks Today – Tuesday, August 25

It’s one thing for a player to say they can hit a home run. Talking the talk is fine, but walking the walk around the bases is a whole nother ball game.

Some elements are within the hitter’s control, such as swing speed, launch angle, sheer strength, and more. Some things can’t be controlled in the batter’s box, however, like ballpark dimensions, pitcher tendencies, pitch velocity and location; the list goes on. That makes it difficult to predict when stars will go yard, yet it’s that much more satisfying when a call is correct. 

Which players could be in good positions to swat a homer on Tuesday? Daily home run projections are listed as Demons on PrizePicks, coming with higher payouts as a result. Home runs can only be selected as “More” than 0.5.

Phillies DH Kyle Schwarber

Phillies vs. Mariners – 9:40 p.m. ET

Mariners Starting Pitcher: George Kirby

MLB Weather Report: Played in a dome

• MLB’s home run leader has a career-best 21.5-degree average launch angle, paired with a healthy 17.5% barrel rate in 2026.
• Schwarber maximizes his point of bat-to-ball, as this is the second time in three years he’s posted an ideal attack angle clip of 67% or greater.
• The veteran slugger is replacing ground balls with more productive types of contact. His 28.1% ground ball rate is his lowest ever, with his line drive share of 24.6% being a career high.
• Even at the age of 33, Schwarber’s 77.1 mph bat speed still puts him in the 96th percentile leaguewide.
• Kirby is living on the edge for Seattle, boasting a 42.4% hard-hit rate that sits in just the 20th percentile. 

Add Kyle Schwarber to your PrizePicks Lineup now.

Giants 1B Rafael Devers

Reds vs. Giants – 9:45 p.m. ET

Reds Starting Pitcher: Brady Singer

MLB Weather Report: 64 degrees, clear skies, 9 mph southwest wind

• Devers is a model of consistency, evidenced by his .227 ISO being the exact same year over year.
• The standout infielder possesses some gnarly splits that work in his favor in this one. Against righties, his .565 SLG is a staggering 274 points higher than against lefty hurlers.
• Devers’ average exit velo (92.6 mph) and hard-hit rate (50.4%) slot into the respective 94th and 92nd percentiles.
• Singer is serving up 1.71 HR/9, which is far above his career mark of 1.15. 
• The former Kansas City Royals draft pick fails to miss many bats (22nd percentile strikeout rate) and pairs that with an inability to limit loud contact (sixth percentile exit velo, 18th percentile barrel rate). 

Add Rafael Devers to your PrizePicks Lineup now.

Cardinals RF Jordan Walker

Orioles vs. Cardinals – 7:45 p.m. ET

Orioles Starting Pitcher: Chris Bassitt

MLB Weather Report: 85 degrees, clear skies, 4 mph east wind

• Not only is Walker hitting line drives more often than ever at 18.8%, but his 18.4% home-run-to-fly-ball ratio is also a personal best in his young career.
• When facing right-handed pitchers, the Home Run Derby champ’s launch angle (+0.8 degrees) and max exit velo (+1.6 mph) actually both increase.
• No one swings a bat harder than Walker, whose 79.2 mph average speed ranks in the 100th percentile. When he connects, the other team knows it.
• The 37-year-old Bassitt is beginning to slow down, generating strikeouts at just a 14.9% rate (fourth percentile) and boasting a fastball that averages all of 91.9 mph (14th percentile).
• That’s bad news against Walker, who is slugging .520 against fastballs in over a 1,000-pitch sample size in 2026. Bassitt cedes a .508 SLG on all heaters.

Add Jordan Walker to your PrizePicks Lineup now.
