Coors Field projects to be the most hitter-friendly environment on the slate, and Astros slugger Christian Walker is offering a great price to go yard. Ozzie Albies and Jo Adell are also highlighted as top home run picks for Wednesday's MLB action.

Why it matters

With more bad-hitting weather and a getaway slate, the author is putting his HR bets into one or two baskets and picking on the best dinger settings to hopefully cash those MLB player props.

The details

The author is backing Ozzie Albies (+570) as he's coming off a +520 dinger last night and faces a lefty pitcher in Reid Detmers who has been overworked early. Jo Adell (+470) is also highlighted as he projects for a better chance to go yard than Mike Trout in Anaheim. Finally, Christian Walker (+410) is targeted in the thin air of Coors Field as the Astros' offense ranks third in baseball at 1.33 homers per game.

  • Ozzie Albies and Jo Adell's game is at 4:07 p.m. ET.
  • Christian Walker's game is at 3:10 p.m. ET.

The players

Ozzie Albies

A switch-hitting infielder for the Atlanta Braves who has proven he can get to the Los Angeles Angels bullpen.

Jo Adell

An outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels who is coming off a 37-HR campaign in 2025 and is starting to see the ball well of late.

Christian Walker

A first baseman for the Houston Astros who has homered in three of his last four games and is offering a great price to go yard at Coors Field.
