It’s “Sunday See-Ya Selections,” and three hitters have juicy matchups to send one into the seats. Colton Cowser gets Freddy Peralta, who’s surrendered 15 homers to left-handed bats. Kazuma Okamoto faces Ryan Weathers, a pitcher he’s already taken deep and who’s been hammered by righties. Meanwhile, red-hot Ty France draws Tanner Bibee, who’s allowed three homers over his last two starts.

If you’re chasing Sunday’s best home run props, Cowser, Okamoto and France have the matchup, power and recent form to leave the yard.

Best Home Run Props Today

Colton Cowser Home Run Bet (+770)

Cowser sees a right-handed pitcher and immediately becomes interesting. All 10 of his homers have come against righties, and he’s heating up with two bombs over the last week. Freddy Peralta has been crushed by lefties, allowing them to hit 15 of his 20 homers surrendered. Cowser also went 2-for-3 with a homer and double in their first meeting.

Kazuma Okamoto Home Run Bet (+448)

Okamoto has brought some serious thunder to Toronto, already launching 24 homers with a nasty 43.8% hard-hit rate. Lefties haven’t been his favorite target, but he’s already taken Ryan Weathers deep once. That matters because Weathers has been hammered by right-handed bats, allowing them to crush 15 of his 18 homers surrendered.

Ty France Home Run Bet (+526)

France is swinging a red-hot stick, piling up multiple hits in four of his last five games while launching his 17th homer this week. That sizzling 49.2% hard-hit rate makes Sunday even more interesting. Tanner Bibee has allowed 23 homers this season and has coughed up three over his last two starts. France is locked in, Bibee has been vulnerable to the long ball, and I’m backing Ty to send one flying Sunday.

P.S. Happy Birthday Mom!
