It\u2019s the “Tuesday Trot Tracker,” and this slate has serious moonshot potential from top to bottom. Several pitchers are bringing ugly splits and fly-ball problems into dangerous matchups, while some of baseball\u2019s biggest power bats are heating up at the perfect time.<\/p>\n
We have Mike Trout<\/a> in a dream matchup against a pitcher getting torched by right-handed power, Brandon Lowe<\/a> stepping into a lefty-friendly setup against a pitcher who can\u2019t keep the ball in the yard, and Matt Olson<\/a> bringing elite hard-contact numbers into a matchup he\u2019s already crushed before. If you\u2019re chasing dingers Tuesday night, these are bats built to send baseballs into orbit.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n All odds are from DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a> and are subject to change.

Trout already has 11 home runs this season and has feasted on right-handed pitching, crushing nine of them in those matchups. Cecconi has basically been running a home run derby for opposing hitters, with righties batting .342 and slugging over .600 against him. If Trout catches one out front Tuesday night, fans might need GPS coordinates to track where it lands.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Brandon Lowe Home Run Bet(+425)<\/p>\n Lowe has been swinging like he\u2019s trying to hit baseballs into the next county, already launching 10 home runs this season. Now he gets Michael Lorenzen<\/a>, who\u2019s been getting absolutely cooked by left-handed hitters. Opponents from the left side are batting .427 against Lorenzen with a ridiculous .793 slugging percentage, and Lowe has already taken him deep before. With Lorenzen serving up homers lately, this feels like a prime spot for another Lowe laser beam into the night sky Tuesday.<\/p>\n Matt Olson Home Run Bet (+296)<\/p>\n Olson has been mashing baseballs all season, and Tuesday\u2019s matchup against Colin Rea<\/a> feels like another chance for fireworks. Olson is batting .296 with 14 home runs already while sitting near the top of the league in hard-hit rate and exit velocity. He\u2019s been especially nasty against right-handed pitching, crushing 10 home runs with a .720 slugging percentage in those matchups. Olson has also handled Rea before, going 4-for-8 with a long ball against him. Add in Rea\u2019s struggles against lefties, and this has all the ingredients for another Olson moonshot Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n 2026 MLB HR Leaders<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Athlon Sports<\/a> on May 12, 2026, where it first appeared in the Sports Betting<\/a> section.
