Kyle Schwarber and Aaron Judge both went yard again on Saturday and the MLB home run leaders are sitting on 18 each entering Sunday’s action. However, there’s a considerable difference in the pricing you’ll find on these two sluggers in the latest MLB home run odds. Schwarber is priced at +240 on FanDuel to hit a home run against the Athletics despite a warm day in Sacramento with the wind forecast to blow out, while Judge is +170 to homer on BetMGM at Coors Field. Those two won’t add much juice to your MLB HR picks, but Taylor Ward is creeping up the MLB HR leaderboard with 15 homers and he’s +400 for your MLB home run bets on Sunday. You can also check out our Sunday MLB RBI picks and Dodgers vs. Mets Sunday Night Baseball picks and have action all day.

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. With MLB props available for almost every player in every game at sportsbooks, SportsLine’s proven computer model can help you find value to add to your MLB home run picks and betting strategy. 

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It’s up 27.75 units on its MLB HR picks during the last 47 days after hitting one MLB home run prop in four of the last five days. 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 Saturday. You can find even more picks in their daily blog.

Best MLB home run picks for Sunday, May 25:

Taylor Ward, Angels (+400)

Ward extended a franchise record for most consecutive games with an extra-base hit to 10 with a double on Saturday and he’s homered in seven of his last 12 games entering Sunday. He’s tied for fifth in baseball with his 15 HRs this season and the MLB weather forecast bodes well for him to add to that total on Sunday.

Expect temperatures in the low-70s in Anaheim tonight and for wins blowing out at nearly 10 mph to left field, which should aid the right-handed slugger. Meanwhile, Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera has given up at least one home run in six of his seven starts this year. DraftKings and BetMGM both have Ward at +400 in their MLB HR props.

Max Muncy, Dodgers (+540)

Muncy has four 30-homer seasons to his name but has only hit three home runs over his first 48 games in 2025. So we’re taking the buy-low approach here on a proven slugger. He has a .772 OPS against right-handed pitching this season against a .302 OPS against lefties and he had a .891 OPS against righties in 2024.

The Dodgers will visit the Mets for Sunday Night Baseball and temperatures are expected to be in the mid-60s with double-digit wins blowing out into the right-field corner at Citi Field. That bodes well for left-handed power and Muncy has been on base three of the five times he’s faced Mets righty Kodai Senga in his career. FanDuel has the best price here and they’re also offering this incentive for first-time users with this FanDuel promo code.

Julio Rodriguez, Mariners (+370)

The 2022 American League Rookie of the Year is already a two-time MLB all-star and he’s already launched nine home runs over his first 49 games. Two of those jacks have come in the last four games and Rodriguez has now reached base safely in 10 consecutive games and driven in 12 runs during that span.

On Sunday, he’ll match up with Astros left-hander Colton Gordon, who has already given up six extra-base hits (two homers) over 9 2/3 innings in the first two starts of his career. The short porch in left field is a dream for right-handed batters with pop like Rodriguez. FanDuel once again has the best price here.

Knicks vs. Pacers, Game 3: Josh Hart not fazed about possibly losing starting spot

INDIANAPOLIS — Deep in a 2-0 hole against the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 Eastern Conference finals, with their season on the brink, the New York Knicks are strongly considering a change to their struggling starting lineup ahead of Game 3 on Sunday night, according to multiple reports.SNY and ESPN reported Saturday that Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau is considering elevating center Mitchell Robinson into the starting lineup for the first time this postseason and just the fourth time since he returned to the lineup in late February after offseason ankle surgery. Robinson’s insertion would bump Josh Hart to the bench, ending a string of 140 straight appearances in which the do-it-all forward has been part of the starting five.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I've been the 15th man, I've been the third man, I've been the sixth man, I've been whatever,” Hart said at […]

WATCH: Tom Brady greeted by boos from Indianapolis 500 crowd during driver introductions

Imagn Images It seems like Indianapolis still isn't very fond of former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Brady, who was riding in "The Fastest Seat in Sports" ahead of the 2025 Indianapolis 500, was booed during driver introductions Sunday afternoon. Brady, now an analyst for Fox Sports, was introduced alongside NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson, who will be driving the two-seat IndyCar as part of the pre-race festivities, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan. Brady received the loudest reception, even if it was largely negative.  Though the Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts had a nascent feud prior to the 2000s, the rivalry took off when Brady arrived in New England and the Colts drafted quarterback Peyton Manning. With Brady and Manning leading their respective teams, the Patriots and Colts often jostled for dominance in the AFC. Between 2001-10, Brady and Manning met […]
