The MLB slate for Monday, April 27, 2026, sets up really well for home run props, with several red‑hot bats in exploitable matchups and plus‑money tags across the board. Below are our top 5 MLB home run predictions for today.

Top 5 MLB Home Run Predictions Today, April 27

5. Marcell Ozuna, Pittsburgh Pirates (+630)

Ozuna has always been a streaky power bat. He’s already flashed the pop this April with a three‑run blast on April 16 and another big homer in their recent series. Plus, he’s historically productive in April – more than 45 MLB career homers in the month. At +630, you’re betting on one of the better early‑season power profiles on the slate at a very generous price.

4. Wilyer Abreu, Boston Red Sox (+498)

Abreu is starting to turn his raw power into results. And the data behind his latest MLB homer on April 24 shows legit impact, with strong exit velocity and ideal launch angle on his pull‑side shot. At nearly 5‑1, Abreu is an appealing upside dart if you want a cheaper name with real Statcast backing.

3. Ben Rice, New York Yankees (+336)

Rice has lived up to the hype so far. He’s carried a .337/.457/.759 line with nine home runs in just 105 plate appearances heading into Monday, supported by a 23.6% barrel rate and an 18.1% walk rate. As a lefty with a .397 ISO versus right‑handers this season, he draws a dream matchup against Rangers right‑hander Jack Leiter.

2. Munetaka Murakami, Chicago White Sox (+319)

Murakami has started his MLB career on a tear. He slashed .232/.369/.566 with 11 home runs and absolutely punished right‑handers to the tune of a 181 wRC+ heading into Monday’s games. What’s more, he gets a very attackable matchup against right‑hander Jack Kochanowicz. Murakami at +319 is one of the best “numbers plus matchup” plays on the entire board to notch his 12th homer.

1. Cal Raleigh, Seattle Mariners (+292)

The “Big Dumper” looks a lot like his 2025 MLB home‑run‑record self again, going 9‑for‑25 with four homers and a 1.309 OPS over his last six games, including a stretch with homers in three straight contests. Raleigh’s uppercut from the left side plays perfectly against a still‑settling starter, making +292 a very reasonable tag for another deep fly.
