Best home run picks for Sunday, May 31
- Randy Arozarena, Mariners (+550)
- Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs (+860)
Randy Arozarena, Mariners (+550, BetMGM)
Four of the veteran's six home runs have come this month, and he has had most of his success at T-Mobile Park against right-handers. The Diamondbacks plan to start righty Merrill Kelly (5-3, 5.25 ERA), and Arozarena is 4-for-8 with a homer and an OPS of 1.375 against him in his career. The Arizona right-hander has allowed eight home runs this season. The 31-year-old Arozarena leads the Mariners with a .292 batting average, and while he isn't known as a home run hitter, he had 47 homers over the 2024 and '25 seasons. Saturday's game was his first in six contests without a hit, and facing Kelly on Sunday should be good for him. The SportsLine model projects him for 0.96 hits and 1.64 total bases, and I expect Arozarena to go deep.
Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs (+860, DraftKings)
The 24-year-old just might be starting to heat up after a rough start to the season. He is hitting .237 with 64 strikeouts and seven homers after hitting 31 last season. One of those homers came Saturday, when he went 4-for-5, and he has three doubles over his modest five-game hit streak. Crow-Armstrong hit everything hard Saturday after striking out in his first at-bat, and now he faces a left-hander in the Cards' Matthew Liberatore (2-3, 4.76 ERA). The outfielder is hitting .264 with a .389 slugging percentage and .750 OPS against lefties. Liberatore has allowed 23 hits and two homers in giving up 11 runs over his past three starts. Crow-Armstrong should hit him hard, and he is the one to target for a homer on Sunday Night Baseball.
