Yordan Alvarez Leads 3 Tuesday Home Run Candidates In Fantasy Baseball Targeting Vulnerable Pitchers (April 28, 2026)

If you’re looking for the best hitters ahead of Tuesday’s loaded 15-game slate in fantasy baseball, here are three options to consider. Any of these three hitters can go yard with ease every time they step to the plate, regardless of who they’re facing.

Why Yordan Alvarez Is an Excellent Option for Home-Run Prop Bets

If you’re looking for a consistent hitter who can do damage and be a home-run threat every time he steps to the plate, you shouldn’t look further than Yordan Alvarez. The star slugger no longer leads the majors in home runs after Munetaka Murakami went yard Monday, but Alvarez still sits at 11 homers. He has a good chance to continue racking them up Tuesday in a favorable matchup against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, a venue that ranks third in park factor according to Statcast (104), only behind Coors Field in Colorado and Chase Field in Arizona.

As if the favorable matchup and the venue aren’t enough, it’s worth noting that Alvarez has been raking of late and is currently riding a 12-game hitting streak, slashing .400/.434/.800 with a 1.234 OPS, five homers, 12 RBIs, 10 runs scored, five doubles, and a 3:3 K:BB across 53 plate appearances in that span. He’s an excellent bet for home-run props in a loaded 15-game slate on Tuesday.

Why You Should Trust Vinnie Pasquantino’s Power vs. the Athletics

Even though the Kansas City Royals have been one of the biggest disappointments of the season thus far, there’s no reason not to trust Vinnie Pasquantino as a potential home-run hitter every time he steps up to the plate. The slugging first baseman, who went 1-for-3 with a triple, an RBI, a run scored, and a walk against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, has a homer, three hits, three RBIs, and four runs in his last four games.

He will have a favorable matchup, as the Royals will be taking on Aaron Civale and the Athletics in one of the most hitter-friendly venues in the majors, Raley Field in West Sacramento. Civale has a 1.1 HR/9 so far this season, but with a 3.86 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 3.94 FIP, he’s far from being an unhittable pitcher. Plus, Civale is allowing a .558 wOBA and 1.292 OPS to lefties at home. Considering Pasquantino’s power, Civale’s struggles, and the favorable park, Pasquantino is an excellent option for home-run props on Tuesday.

Why Juan Soto Could Take Advantage of a Favorable Matchup in Tuesday’s Fantasy Baseball

Juan Soto is having an underwhelming season, but to be fair, the star outfielder has been struggling as much as the rest of the New York Mets’ offense, and he’s also failed to get into a groove after missing time earlier this month with a calf strain. Soto went 1-for-5 with three walks across both games of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies, but if he’s going to have a shot at going yard in the near future, that’s Tuesday’s series opener against the Washington Nationals since he’ll be facing Zack Littell.

The matchup is particularly favorable for Soto since Littell is allowing 4.0 HR/9, a .501 wOBA, and 1.191 OPS to lefties this season. Soto could use this game as a much-needed bounce-back performance against a pitcher who has been crushed by lefties all season long.
