Last Updated: September 16, 2026 11:11 AM EDT • 3 minute read X Social Google News Link
We've got an early start to Wednesday's 15-game MLB slate, which is where I'll be making my home run predictions today. Yordan Alvarez cashed his +310 home run prop last night, making it back-to-back days with a winning home run wager.
For Wednesday's MLB home run picks, I'm starting with a longshot on Christian Koss. The Giants' SS has hit 3 of 7 home runs this month, and now, he draws a great matchup against Matthew Liberatore. The Cardinals' southpaw has allowed 2 home runs in 3 of his last 4 starts.
