Top 5 MLB Home Run Predictions Today: Exclusive Picks For May 9, 2026

Carroll continues bringing sneaky value in the home run market. The Diamondbacks star is batting .266 with 5 homers, 20 RBIs, and 4 triples through 35 MLB games. Arizona recently moved him into the No. 3 spot in the lineup, giving him more RBI chances and better pitches to attack. His mix of speed and power always makes him dangerous once he gets rolling offensively.

4. Jordan Walker (+382)

Walker is finally having the breakout Cardinals fans have waited for. Through 37 games, he’s slashing .302/.384/.576 with 10 home runs and 27 RBIs while carrying a huge .959 OPS. The MLB offseason swing adjustments clearly worked, and now the 23-year-old looks far more comfortable driving the baseball consistently instead of just chasing power swings.

3. Bobby Witt Jr. (+375)

Witt Jr. looks like he’s heating up again at the perfect time. The Royals superstar is batting .299 with 4 home runs, 17 RBIs, and 12 stolen bases through 39 games this MLB season. He’s coming off a massive 4-for-4 game against Cleveland and has looked sharper since tweaking his batting stance recently. Once Witt gets confidence going, the power-speed combo becomes terrifying.

2. Shohei Ohtani (+284)

Ohtani continues doing ridiculous Shohei Ohtani things. Alongside a dominant 0.97 ERA and 42 strikeouts on the mound, he’s also hitting .248 with 6 home runs and 16 RBIs this MLB season. Even after a recent cold stretch at the plate, pitchers still fear missing over the zone against him. One mistake is usually enough for Ohtani to change a game instantly.

1. Aaron Judge (+239)

Judge is back in full MVP mode again. The Yankees captain leads MLB with 15 home runs while slashing .270/.398/.631 through 39 games. Judge has homered five times over his last eight games and continues crushing mistakes whenever pitchers challenge him in the zone. With more DH appearances expected moving forward, New York may get an even fresher version of Judge offensively.
