Best MLB Home Run Bets & Picks Today for Sunday, August 27
Yankees-Rays Home Run Pick
When: 1:40 p.m. ET
Where: Tropicana Field
OddsShopper’s Target: Randy Arozarena at FanDuel
It’s the series finale between the Rays and Yankees on Sunday afternoon, with the MLB odds favoring Tampa Bay at -135 on the moneyline. The total is currently at 8.0 runs. Both teams have picked up a win in the series so far and will be eager to get the better of one another in this AL East showdown. It’ll be southpaw Carlos Rodon (1-4, 6.27 ERA) taking the bump for the Yankees, while the Rays counter with Zack Littell (2-4, 4.27 ERA).
Using OddsShopper’s tools, we can dig deep to see where the edge may be in this matchup, and it seems Randy Arozarena’s player props are the most appetizing for Sunday. OddsShopper lists the true odds for a home run at +489, and we can find +520 at FanDuel right now.
Arozarena has already matched his career best for home runs (20) in 2023 and is in a favorable spot Sunday against Rodon, who’s surrendered nine homers in only 33 innings this year.

Rangers-Twins Home Run Pick
When: 2:10 p.m. ET
Where: Target Field
OddsShopper’s Target: Corey Seager at FanDuel
The Rangers take on the Twins in Minnesota today, and OddsShopper is focusing on Corey Seager in this matchup against RHP Bailey Ober. Seager’s updated player props show him at +285 to hit a home run.
The odds are obviously not as appealing for our second home run prop, but it’s still a bet worth considering just how effective Seager has been at the plate when healthy. He’s now batting a ridiculous .343 with 24 home runs and 78 RBIs on the year and enters Sunday’s game with nine homers in the month of August.
Ober has been solid for the most part this season but enters Sunday having allowed at least one homer in seven straight starts. We like the chances of Seager getting ahold of one at Target Field today.
Best MLB Home Run Bet: Corey Seager (+285 at FanDuel)
