Introduction
Tuesday was a mixed bag with two players that had their games rained out and only one home run. My HR recommendations for Wednesday’s eight-game night slate has a theme with pair players listed from multiple teams including a bonus “Longshot” option. Let’s hope the home runs come in bunches tonight!
Prices included for FanDuel and DraftKings to help find where the best value may be and positions are based on FanDuel.
So with that here is who will be swinging for the fences today…

Lineup
C – Yasmani Grandal (LAD) (FanDuel: $3,600 / DraftKings: $3,800)
Longshot – Joc Pederson (LAD) (FanDuel: $2,200 / DraftKings: $3,600) – Numerous of the Dodgers’ hitters swing the bat better at home than on the road, especially against right-handed pitchers. Grandal when facing a righty at home had a .365 wOBA and .265 ISO last year (even better the year before) and Pederson has hit over half of his career homers at home against a righty.
1B – Matt Olson (OAK) (FanDuel: $2,900 / DraftKings: $4,300)
2B – Jed Lowrie (OAK) (FanDuel: $4,000 / DraftKings: $4,600) – The A’s hitters get a favorable park adjustment going to Texas and will face Rangers’ right-hander Doug Fister who served up 1.29 HR/9 to lefties last season. Olson has a career .408 wOBA and .336 ISO against righties, while Lowrie has already hit six homers this season (five against righties) in just 24 games.
3B – Mike Moustakas (KC) (FanDuel: $4,000 / DraftKings: $4,200)
Longshot – Lucas Duda (KC) (FanDuel: $2,300 / DraftKings: $3,200) – Duda has clubbed two homers in seven career at-bats against Jhoulys Chacin. Meanwhile, Moustakas posted a .353 wOBA and .268 ISO against righties last season (.470/.388 so far this year).
SS – Paul DeJong (STL) (FanDuel: $4,300 / DraftKings: $4,100)
OF – Tommy Pham (STL) (FanDuel: $4,100 / DraftKings: $4,700) – DeJong and Pham are perfect against southpaw Steven Matz going a combined 7-for-7 with three home runs.

Mazara had a .382 wOBA and .214 ISO at home against righties last season, while Choo had a .365 wOBA and .177 ISO.
