It’s the "Tuesday Trot Tracker," and several hitters are stepping into premium power spots across the slate. We have pitchers serving up home runs at an alarming rate, favorable platoon splits all over the board, and a few bats bringing serious power numbers into Tuesday night.

We have Jordan Walker facing a pitcher who has been struggling to keep the ball in the yard lately, Salvador Perez drawing a matchup against a fly-ball-heavy lefty who has been giving up plenty of damage to right-handed bats, and Nick Kurtz taking aim at the most homer-prone pitcher in baseball. If you’re chasing home run props Tuesday night, these are bats with serious moonshot upside.

Best Home Run Props Today

Jordan Walker Home Run Bet (+524)

Nathan Eovaldi has been giving up plenty of home runs lately, allowing 13 on the season and two more in his last start. That’s good news for Jordan Walker, who has done most of his damage against right-handed pitching this year. Eleven of Walker’s 15 home runs have come against righties, and he’s carrying a .305 average and .561 slugging percentage in those matchups. He’s also been one of the hardest hitters in baseball all season.

Salvador Perez Home Run Bet(+335)

Andrew Abbott has started giving up the long ball lately, allowing four home runs over his last three starts and nine on the season overall. That sets up nicely for Salvador Perez, who already has nine home runs this season and has been one of Kansas City's top power threats against left-handed pitching. Six of Abbott’s nine home runs allowed have come against righties, and his fly-ball tendencies always create some home run upside.

Nick Kurtz Home Run Bet (+383)

Jameson Taillon has already served up an MLB-high 19 home runs this season, and left-handed hitters have done the most damage with 11 of them. That puts Kurtz squarely on my radar Tuesday night. Kurtz has 10 home runs on the season, including two in his last four games, and seven of those bombs have come against right-handed pitching. He’s also been absolutely crushing the baseball with some of the best hard-hit numbers in the league.
