Tuesday night belongs to MLB with the 2026 All-Star Game set for 8 p.m. ET. This year’s matchup is in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. The National League are favored here, and they won last year and two of the last three. The American League has dominated this series overall, though, winning all but six of these midsummer classics dating back to 1997. Philadelphia ace Cristopher Sanchez gets the start for the National League in front of his hometown fans while the American League will counter with Toronto star Dylan Cease.
With so many big names set to take the field here, we’ve selected three players as part of our top home run picks of the day for Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game. Identifying home run picks for the All-Star Game can be tough given the caliber of pitching we’re set to see for nine innings, but we’ve got our eyes on a few guys to leave the yard at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday.

Top MLB All-Star Game home run picks for Tuesday, July 14
Mike Trout, Angels (+870, FanDuel)
Injuries have unfortunately been a major part of Trout’s career in recent years, and while he’s still an All-Star-caliber player, he’s no longer putting up the video game numbers we grew accustomed to seeing. That being said, he’s still Mike Trout, for goodness sake, and he’s where he belongs this year in Philadelphia. Trout has 18 home runs on the year and he has two career All-Star Game home runs under his belt along with two All-Star Game MVP awards. Homering off Sanchez can be tough, but the star lefty has given up four homers over his last two starts as well as nine across his last seven. It’s also worth noting Trout grew up a Philly fan as he was raised in New Jersey, so look for him to leave the yard at the park where his childhood team plays.

Juan Soto, Mets (+560, FanDuel)
Soto has had a great year for the Mets, which is more than we can say about most of his teammates. The star outfielder has swatted 21 long balls this year and enters the break with a .562 slugging percentage. He’s been a premier slugger this year even while missing time, and he often has a flair for the dramatic. Soto will start and hit second for the National League, and you’d figure he’ll get at least two cracks at it. Cease has allowed only five homers this year, so this may be more targeting Soto against whoever he faces in his second at-bat. It’s also worth noting Soto has homered 18 times at Citizens Bank Park. Soto has homered more in Philadelphia than he has at any ballpark he’s not called home across his career.
Cody Bellinger, Yankees (+1000, DraftKings)
Bellinger has just 11 home runs on the year, so this is more of a longshot play. However, the veteran outfielder has showcased a ton of power over his career, and he’s more than worthy of a dart throw at this price. I wanted to target his teammate Ben Rice here, but I’m opting for Bellinger at longer odds for a potentially greater payout.
