Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz is one of the most imposing players in baseball at 6-foot-7, 240 pounds and generates the power you might expect from that frame on a regular basis. On Sunday, he launched his 11th home run of the season into the Allegheny River outside PNC Park and set a new MLB Statcast record for exit velocity (122.9 mph) in the process. Cruz extended his hitting streak to five and now has three homers in his last three games, but you can still find him at +390 in the latest MLB HR odds from FanDuel and boost your bankroll significantly with a win thanks to the latest FanDuel promo code. In fact, our model likes him to go yard again on Monday. Who are some of the other top values as you build your MLB HR parlays on Monday?
Any first-time users interested in putting together MLB home run picks today can also enhance their experience with the latest DraftKings promo code or Fanatics Sportsbook promo code, just to name a few.

Now, the model and SportsLine’s team of Data Scientists have revealed their projections for some of the most-bet MLB HR prop bets on Monday. You can find even more picks in their daily blog.
Best MLB home run picks for Monday, May 26:
Oneil Cruz (+390)
Once a consensus top prospect, Cruz finished sixth in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2022, was hurt in 2023 and then broke out with his first 20/20 season in 2024. However, he’s been even better so far in 2025, posting a career-high .853 OPS with 11 home runs, 23 RBI and a National League-leading 18 stolen bases. He’s been blistering right-handed pitching and you’ll want to ride the streaking young superstar.
“Cruz has a .995 OPS vs. RHPs and has hit 10 of his 11 HRs against righties,” SportsLine data analyst Jacob Fetner said. “Ryne Nelson hasn’t given up many home runs this season, but he is susceptible to giving up the occasional homer and allows hitters to bat .294 when he pitches at home compared to .234 on the road.” The model sets the line at +300 and FanDuel is offering the best price on this MLB HR prop.
Junior Caminero, Rays (+450)
The 21-year-old has already hit nine home runs in 48 games this season and he’s on a blistering pace at the plate of late. Over the last three games, he’s 5-for-11 with a home run and three doubles. Caminero had a 31-homer season in the minor leagues as a 19-year-old and that power is starting to translate at the big-league level.
“Caminero is hitting .301 at home compared to .129 away from home and is hitting .266 against RHPs compared to .193 against LHPs,” Fetner noted. “The model expects some regression from Chris Paddack who allows 1.4 HR/9 in his career but has allowed just 1 HR over his last 4 starts.”
Cody Bellinger, Yankees (+475)
Bellinger revived his career in Chicago with the Cubs and was traded to the Yankees this offseason. He got off to a sluggish start in the Bronx but is very clearly finding his rhythm in New York this month. In May, Bellinger is slashing .333/.391/.615 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 19 games, and now he gets a juicy matchup in Anaheim on Monday.
“Angels‘ SP Jack Kochanowicz has given up 8 of his 9 HRs allowed to lefties. Lefties are hitting .327 against Kochanowicz this season compared to righties at .233,” Fetner said. “We set the line at +380 for Bellinger to hit a HR today.” BetMGM is offering the best price here and you can create even more value for yourself with the latest BetMGM promo code.

Felix Rosenqvist, Louis Foster OK after violent crash at Detroit Grand Prix
Bob Pockrass FOX Motorsports Insider <!--> DETROIT — Both Louis Foster and Felix Rosenqvist were passengers after Foster’s suspension broke in a violent crash Sunday at the Detroit Grand Prix.Both drivers were released from the medical center. Rosenqvist was put on a stretcher (sitting up) after the accident and said he just had some pain in his knee."I feel good," Rosenqvist said. "A little bit of pain in my knee, but it's fine. I've done all the checks and everything, and we're good. ... I just banged my knee really bad into the [steering] wheel." Foster’s car hit the wall and then rammed into the back of the Meyer Shank Racing car of Rosenqvist, creating a debris field that resulted in a short red flag to clean the track."I didn't even see it coming," Rosenqvist said. "Because I think just the […]
Elena Rybakina’s barred coach, Stefano Vukov, appeals 1-year WTA tennis ban
Stefano Vukov, the suspended coach of 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, has appealed his one-year suspension from coaching and obtaining credentials for women’s tennis events.Two people briefed on the appeal and the arbitration process, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships in tennis, said Vukov is seeking to overturn his ban from the WTA Tour.AdvertisementVukov, who was suspended by the WTA Tour for breaching its code of conduct, is now in private arbitration with the governing body of women’s tennis, per the sources.The WTA declined to comment, citing the fact that it does not discuss confidential arbitration processes. Vukov, who now acts as Rybakina’s agent, did not respond to messages seeking comment.Vukov has pursued relief through arbitration because under WTA rules, disputes must be resolved in this manner, rather than in court.Under the conditions of the suspension, […]
Slavia dolaďuje příchod českého reprezentanta ze zahraničí
O připravovaném transferu Sadílka do Slavie informoval jako první server infotbal.cz, zdroje Sport.cz potvrzují, že přestup by měl brzy klapnout. Rodák z Uherského Hradiště ještě nedávno hovořil o tom, že by se z nizozemské Eredivisie rád přesunul do jedné z evropských top lig. Nakonec ho však dle všeho přesvědčil silný zájem Slavie, která mu může mimo jiné nabídnout zápasy v Lize mistrů.O tom, že se Sadílek touží z Twente posunout už nějaký čas, svědčí i výstupní klauzule, kterou si v zimě nechal do smlouvy při jejím prodlužování zanést. Má činit 3,5 milionu eur (cca 87,5 milionu euro). Právě tolik by tak nyní měli sešívaní do klubu z Enschede poslat.Sadílek působil v Twente od léta 2021, předtím hostoval sezonu ve Slovanu Liberec z PSV Eindhoven, kde fotbalově od šestnácti rostl. Za áčko PSV Eindhoven si připsal 40 soutěžních zápasů (2 góly a 4 asistence), za Twente 122 utkání (7 gólů a 14 asistencí).Vyniká pracovitostí ve středu hřiště, zároveň zvládne i jiné posty.

Fever get ‘good news’ on MRIs for Sydney Colson, Sophie Cunningham as injuries pile up for Indiana
Getty Images The Indiana Fever received "good news" after MRIs for Sydney Colson and Sophie Cunningham revealed that neither suffered a long-term injury, coach Stephanie White told reporters after practice on Sunday. Colson (upper left leg) and Cunningham (right ankle) both left the Fever's 85-83 loss to the Connecticut Sun on Friday. While the imaging was positive, it's unclear if either will be available for the Fever's next game on Tuesday against the Washington Mystics. "I think we got good news from both of their MRIs, as good of news as you can get," White said. "And so right now, it's a day-to-day thing. We're looking forward to hopefully them returning at some point sooner rather than later, but at the same time, it's how each of them progresses in their rehab."With Caitlin Clark (left quad) also sidelined until at least June […]
2025 Stanley Cup Final: Best bets to win championship, Conn Smythe Trophy
Imagn Images For the fifth time since the expansion era of the NHL began in 1967-68, a rematch of the previous year's Stanley Cup Final will take place. The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers in seven games last postseason to win the championship for the first time in franchise history. Edmonton has home-ice advantage this time around and hosts Florida on Wednesday for Game 1 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final.This marks the first time the same teams face off for the championship in back-to-back years since the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins battled for the Cup in both 2008 and 2009. Detroit won the title in the first meeting, but Pittsburgh exacted revenge the following postseason. The Montreal Canadiens defeated the St. Louis Blues in both 1968 and 1969, then beat the Boston Bruins in 1977 and […]
Caitlin Clark injury: Four players Fever could sign with hardship exception during star guard’s absence
Getty Images The Indiana Fever have had a tough week. Star guard Caitlin Clark was diagnosed with a quad strain that will keep her out until at least June 10, they fell to the Washington Mystics and Connecticut Sun to run their losing streak to three games, and Sydney Colson and Sophie Cunningham both left the latter contest with injuries. There was some "good news" on Sunday, at least, as coach Stephanie White told reporters that neither Colson (upper left leg) nor Cunningham (right ankle) will face a long-term absence.
