If you’re looking for the best options when it comes to finding value among potential home-run hitters for Wednesday’s fantasy baseball slate, we’ve got you covered. Here are three sluggers with potential to go yard in Wednesday’s loaded slate. Adding these hitters could make or break your lineups, regardless of whether you’re playing in a DFS format or in a season-long league.
Why Jazz Chisholm Jr. Could Go Yard Against Luis Severino
Jazz Chisholm Jr. has yet to go yard this season after surpassing the 30-homer plateau in 2025, but he might end that drought Wednesday since he faces a favorable matchup against Severino and the A’s. It’s not that Chisholm isn’t seeing the ball well, as he’s hit safely in 8 of his 10 games so far, but he’s only had 3 extra-base hits thus far.
Don’t be surprised if Chisholm finds his power stroke based on the history of success he’s had against Severino. In 11 at-bats against the veteran right-hander, Chisholm has hit .455 with a 1.591 OPS, including 2 homers and 5 RBI, while 3 of his 5 hits against the Dominican Republic native have gone for extra bases.
Why You Should Trust Kyle Schwarber to Homer Against Tyler Mahle
Kyle Schwarber is one of the best pure power hitters in the game, and he should be considered on the same tier as other imposing presences like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Cal Raleigh, who are basically capable of hitting a homer every time they step in the box. Even though this game will come on the road, and Oracle Park is a notoriously pitcher-friendly environment, Schwarber could exploit a favorable matchup to go yard for the fourth time this season.
Schwarber owns a .278/.391/.611 slash line in 23 plate appearances against Mahle, including 2 home runs. Schwarber’s power is legit regardless of the venue, and that could very well end up being on display Wednesday.
Why Francisco Lindor is a Home Run Threat Against the Diamondbacks
Francisco Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double and 2 runs scored in the Mets’ 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, and the star shortstop could be due to launch his first homer of the season Wednesday in what figures to be a favorable matchup against the Diamondbacks and Ryne Nelson. Even though the sample size isn’t very big, it’s worth noting that Lindor has hit .400 with a 1.517 OPS, 1 homer, and 3 extra-base hits in 10 at-bats against the right-hander.
Matchup-based stats aside, it’s also worth noting that Nelson hasn’t had the best start to the season. Through 2 starts, Nelson has allowed 11 runs (6 earned) with a poor 7:6 K:BB over 9.1 innings, and he allowed 2 homers in his last start against the Braves. Lindor could take advantage of those struggles to hit his first homer of the season on Wednesday.
