Best Home Run Props Today
Francisco Lindor Home Run Bet (+490)
Lindor is finally finding his summer swagger, batting .258 with three homers and seven RBIs this month. Now comes a matchup he’s enjoyed, going 3-for-8 with two bombs against Michael King. The righty has been handing out souvenirs lately, allowing six homers over his last four starts and 11 to lefties this season.
Matt Olson Home Run Bet (+313)
Olson is absolutely launching baseballs right now, crushing seven homers in August to push his season total to 36. Even better, 22 have come against righties. That spells trouble for Taj Bradley, who’s been tattooed by left-handed bats for 14 of his 19 homers allowed. Kyle Schwarber took him deep twice in his last start, and now another lefty masher gets his turn.
Griffin Conine Home Run Bet (+TBD)
Conine is bringing some serious August thunder, blasting his 14th homer Tuesday and fifth already this month. Even better, every single one of his bombs has come against righties. Enter Aaron Nola, baseball’s home run vending machine with an MLB-high 30 allowed, including 18 to lefties. The matchup is begging for fireworks, and I’m riding Conine for back-to-back nights with a bomb.
