Late Night Longballs: MLB Home Run Picks for Friday, May 30

There’s an old baseball truth: chicks dig the longball and frankly, so do we. With the weather heating up and some of the league’s top sluggers finding their groove, we’re looking for moonshots tonight.

These aren’t just gut picks either — every selection below is based on our 3-step proven model that powers all our picks: data-driven research 📊, trends analysis 📈, and AI insights 🤖 — we’ve locked in the top plays for tonight’s action.

Let’s break out the big bats.

Matt Olson Home Run – Olson has been the top consensus HR play across the board with 10+ mentions. He’s crushed Lucas Giolito in previous matchups and comes in with strong power metrics over the last week. His barrel rate, launch angle, and HR history make him a top-tier play tonight.

Corbin Carroll Home Run – Carroll is getting elite marks across multiple sharp reports and thrives against fastball-heavy righties like Jake Irvin. With two homers already off Irvin this season and a double-digit barrel rate in the past week, the value at +300s range is strong.

Aaron Judge Home Run – Judge has one of the highest hard-hit rates in MLB and enters tonight leading several power metrics. He faces the Dodgers in a hitter-friendly setting and is always a threat to go deep in nationally spotlighted matchups.

Shohei Ohtani Home Run – Ohtani is back in form with multiple home runs in the past week and a juicy matchup against a righty starter struggling with command. He’s been listed across sharp reports with odds in the +275 to +310 range, making him a premium value in LA’s hitter-friendly conditions.

Cal Raleigh Home Run – Raleigh quietly leads the American League in home runs and faces a vulnerable Twins arm who’s allowed 11 HRs in just 37 innings. He hits well in this park and has strong power metrics versus four-seamers from righties.

📉 Final Thoughts/Trend Analysis

One thing is clear: Olson is the hottest home run target on the board, with our trends heavily favoring him going long. Carroll, Raleigh, Judge, and Ohtani all follow closely, backed by a blend of metrics and momentum indicators.

That said, we’re not blindly riding trends. The market tends to overreact to recent bombs, so we’re also looking for value lines and under-the-radar matchups where launch angle, xSLG, and park factors align. Each of these picks passed our 3-step filter and comes with either odds value or high-confidence trend support.

Let us know which sluggers you’re tailing tonight — and don’t forget: longballs win ballgames.
