Here are the best home run prop bets to make for <strong>Wednesday, May 28<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Home Run Prop Bets &#8211; MLB Free HR Props Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manny Machado (SD) +500<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time for us to pick on Sandy Alcantara again today as the Marlins and Padres wrap a three-game series in San Diego today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcantara has been mediocre at best this season so far with his road ERA sitting at 12.64 and allowing four home runs in 15.2 innings pitched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manny Machado has been on a hot streak as of late hitting a home run in three of his last five games while sporting a .576 slugging percentage in May. Machado doesn\u2019t have a home run against Alcantra in his career but he does have six hits in nine at bats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcantara has given up four home runs combined across his last four starts and should he get pulled from the game before Machado hits a home run, the Padres third baseman does have a home run off Marlins relievers Anthony Bender and Calvin Faucher in his career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take <strong>Machado at +500 to hit a home run today<\/strong> against the Marlins with other Padres batters to look at for a home run include <strong>Fernando Tatis Jr. (+350)<\/strong> and <strong>Gavin Sheets (+600)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Ronald Acuna Jr. (ATL) +500<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get us wrong, Zack Wheeler has been on an absolute tear as of late not allowing an earned run in his last three starts (19.2 IP), but we think that changes today as the Phillies host the Braves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ronald Acuna Jr. came back from injury last Friday and hit a home run on the first pitch he saw and has been on fire since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s batting .313 in four games this season to go along with a .750 slugging percentage which includes a hit in every game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two of Wheeler\u2019s last three starts have come against the Pirates and Athletics with Acuna Jr. going 12-47 with four home runs in his career against the Phillies starter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Wheeler is 6-1 with a 2.42 ERA on the season, he has coughed up eight home runs giving up one every 20 at bats against righties and one every 50 at bats against lefties on the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With how <strong>hot Acuna Jr. is coming into this game, we get excellent odds at +500<\/strong> for him to hit a home run tonight. Other Braves hitters to consider for a home run include <strong>Austin Riley (+480)<\/strong> and <strong>Marcell Ozuna (+450)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_72581\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K9IW89Vd8-E?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"MLB Predictions Today | Wednesday MLB Top Picks Today for May 28, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/K9IW89Vd8-E\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K9IW89Vd8-E\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"MLB Predictions Today | Wednesday MLB Top Picks Today for May 28, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\u26be\ufe0f MLB Predictions Today | Wednesday MLB Top Picks Today for May 28, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond: Get MLB best bets, predictions, picks, and daily baseball betting tips from expert handicapper Drew Martin on Drew&#039;s Daily Diamond!
