It's the "Wednesday Wallop Watch," and the home run matchups are lining up beautifully. We have a red-hot infielder facing a pitcher who has been serving up long balls all month, a power-hitting catcher drawing one of the best righty-lefty matchups on the board, and another Nationals bat looking to stay hot against a starter who can't seem to keep the ball in the yard.
Jake Burger gets Eury Perez, who has allowed five homers in his six June starts and has struggled with right-handed power. Dillon Dingler brings seven June homers into a matchup against Ryan Weathers, who has surrendered 13 of his 16 long balls to righties. Meanwhile, Luis Garcia Jr. looks to make it three straight games with a homer against Aaron Nola, a pitcher he's already taken deep twice.
If you're hunting home run props Wednesday, these three bats bring the power, the matchup edge and plenty of moonshot potential.

Best Home Run Props Today
Jake Burger Home Run Bet (+475)
The Rangers slugger has 13 homers already this season, and nine of them have come against right-handed pitching like Eury Perez. Burger continues to mash the baseball with an elite hard-hit rate, and Perez gave up five homers in his six May starts before a rehab assignment. Eight of his 11 on the season have been hit by right-handed batters. This matchup checks all the boxes for Burger to launch homer No. 14.
Dillon Dingler Home Run Bet (+500)
The Tigers catcher has already launched 18 homers this season, including seven in June alone, and now gets Ryan Weathers, who has been getting hammered by right-handed hitters. Thirteen of the 16 homers Weathers has allowed have come against righties, including five over his last three starts. With Dingler's elite 50% hard-hit rate and red-hot bat, homer No. 19 feels very much in play.
Luis Garcia Jr.Home Run Bet (+670)
Garcia Jr. is seeing beach balls right now. The Nationals infielder has homered in back-to-back games and gets a matchup he loves against Aaron Nola. Garcia owns a .317 career average with two bombs off Nola, and the Phillies right-hander has been leaking home runs lately, allowing four over his last two starts. Nine of the 15 homers Nola has surrendered this season have come against lefties, which plays right into Garcia's strengths. Make it three straight games with a moonshot.
