Best Home Run Props Today
Jonathan Aranda Home Run Bet(+323)
A recent power surge makes Aranda an intriguing option against Tanner Bibee. Aranda homered twice Friday and went deep again Monday, showing he's locked in at the plate. Six of his seven homers this season have come against right-handed pitching.
Bibee has been vulnerable to lefties, allowing most of his home runs in that split, and Aranda has already taken him deep once.
Juan Soto Home Run Bet (+375)
A breakout spot is lining up for Soto against Zack Littell. Soto has been dominant against right-handed pitching, hitting .444, and now faces a pitcher who has already allowed 11 home runs this season, including nine over his last three starts.
Littell has struggled badly with left-handed hitters, giving up a .328 average and most of his home runs in that split. With Soto still searching for his first homer since early April, this matchup sets up perfectly for him to break through.
Kyle Schwarber Home Run Bet (+477)
Recent power and a favorable matchup line up well for Schwarber against Tyler Mahle. Schwarber already has nine home runs this season and went deep Sunday, continuing his reputation as one of the game's top power hitters.
He's also had success against Mahle, hitting .316 with two home runs, while Mahle has allowed six homers in 25.2 innings this year. With Schwarber's power profile, this sets up as another strong opportunity to go yard.
