Free MLB home run picks, odds for August 26: Vinnie Pasquantino among best bets for Tuesday HR player props
The Inside the Lines team has been dishing out nightly home run bets all season long -- up nearly 50 units on the year. For more free daily picks across all sports, visit the Inside the Lines blog.

Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino is one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last few weeks and the 27-year-old is finally starting to fulfill the power potential he showed while working his way through the Kansas City farm system. Pasquantino blew past his previous career-high of 19 home runs earlier this month and is now sitting on 28 homers entering a Tuesday matchup with the Chicago White Sox. The left-handed slugger will have favorable conditions with the MLB weather forecast calling for winds blowing out to right field tonight, which has the over/under at 8.5, and Pasquantino also owns an .867 career OPS against Chicago.
However, he's still available for as high as +380 in the MLB home run odds and we're riding the hot hand with Pasquantino as one of our top MLB HR picks on Tuesday. MLB home run props are available for almost every player in every game at various sportsbooks, and SportsLine's proven computer model can help you find value for your MLB betting picks.

Vinnie Pasquantino (+380, DraftKings)
Despite going 0-4 yesterday, Vinnie P is swinging a red-hot bat. He's homered in 6 of his last 8 games and in 10 of 23 games this month. While there's slightly less value today due to facing a lefty, he's seeing the ball so well that it's still worth a play. Pasquantino is 1-3 in his career against Martin Perez, and it's encouraging that he put the ball in play in all three ABs. We set his line at +330 to homer and you can bet this MLB player prop at DraftKings, where you can get $300 in bonus bets instantly and over $200 off on NFL Sunday Ticket with the latest DraftKings promo code:
Zach Neto, Angels (+460, FanDuel)
FanDuel is offering a great price here, with Neto's average line sitting around +350. While he's been a better all-around hitter against right-handed pitchers, his HR rate is actually higher against lefties. Neto is 4-8 with a HR in his career against Patrick Corbin, who has allowed 13 of his 18 HRs to right-handed hitters. We set Neto's line at +368 to homer. You can get over $300 in bonus bets if your first wager of $5 or more wins when you bet $5 using the latest FanDuel promo code:
Matt Wallner, Twins (+425, BetMGM)
Wallner has three home runs over his past two games, and we're looking to ride the hot hand today. He now has 7 HRs and a 1.043 OPS over the last four weeks. Wallner is 3-3 with a HR in his career against Chris Bassitt, showing he sees the ball well against him. Bassitt has allowed left-handed batters to hit .285 with an .827 OPS this season. We set Wallner's line at +300 to homer. Use this BetMGM promo code to get up to $1,500 in bonus bets back if your first bet loses.
