Today’s 5 Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets
#5. Mike Trout (+205)
Mike Trout is reminding everyone why he’s one of the game’s most feared hitters. Since returning from injury in his last five games, Trout’s hitting a blistering .500 with nine hits in 18 at-bats, already launching a home run and collecting five RBIs.
Facing Lucas Giolito and his 4.78 ERA at Fenway Park in a hitter-friendly environment sets up perfectly for Trout to continue his power surge. Trout’s swing looks crisp, and the matchup against a righty giving up contact fits right into his wheelhouse.
#4. Tyler Stephenson (+400)
Tyler Stephenson’s bat has caught fire lately, and the numbers back it up. Over his last eight games, he’s slashing an impressive .367 with four homers and nine RBIs, showing off some serious pop from the catcher’s spot.
With the Brewers rolling out a vulnerable bullpen at Great American Ball Park, one of MLB’s most homer-friendly parks, Stephenson’s recent surge and favorable matchup make him a sneaky strong longshot pick to leave the yard again tonight.
#3. Christian Walker (+300)
Christian Walker might be battling a down year in the average department, but his power stroke is still alive and well and he reminded everyone with a homer in yesterday’s game.
He’ll now face Mike Burrows, who’s sporting a rough 8.64 ERA and has struggled to keep the ball in the yard.
With Walker’s 46.4% hard-hit rate and steady barrel numbers, this is exactly the kind of matchup where his raw power can punish a mistake pitch in Pittsburgh’s PNC Park.
#2. Addison Barger (+260)
Addison Barger is riding one of the hottest power streaks in baseball right now, with homers in four straight games and a ridiculous .429 average and 1.526 OPS over his last six.
Tonight, he draws Phillies rookie Mick Abel, who’s still finding his footing at the big-league level. With Barger’s recent tear and elite 1.048 slugging percentage during this stretch, one mistake from Abel could easily keep that home run streak alive in style.
#1. Elly De La Cruz (+450)
Elly De La Cruz is doing everything you’d want from a power-speed phenom right now, slashing .361 with 4 homers and a 1.230 OPS over his last 10 games.
Facing a stretched-out Brewers bullpen at home in hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park, Cruz’s 91.5 mph average exit velocity and 15.1% barrel rate make him a legit threat to leave the yard again tonight. His mix of hard contact and red-hot form puts him firmly atop the homer prop board.
