Today's Best Home Run Props

Please note that betting lines and our MLB projections may change throughout the day after this article is published. All stats come from FanGraphs and Baseball Savant unless noted otherwise.

Ronald Acuna Jr. to Hit a Home Run (+300)

Ronald Acuna Jr. checks a lot of boxes today, and he's my favorite dinger pick.

Acuna is at homer-happy Sacramento and will see Athletics lefty Jeffrey Springs. Through 97 1/3 innings this season, Springs has pitched to a 4.64 SIERA and 47.1% fly-ball rate. He's permitted 1.48 homers per nine innings overall, including 1.80 per nine at home.

Acuna's return from injury has gone extremely well as he boasts a .435 wOBA and 39.4% hard-hit rate.

On top of all that, the wind is blowing out today at Sutter Health Park.

Kyle Tucker to Hit a Home Run (+330)

The Chicago Cubs' lefty bats are in a smash spot today against Simeon Woods Richardson, which puts me on Kyle Tucker to hit a tank.

Woods Richardson is allowing a .371 wOBA, 47.2% fly-ball rate and 1.69 jacks per nine to left-handed hitters. His strikeout rate is only 16.3% in the split.

Also, the wind is blowing out to right at Target Field.

As for Tucker, he's popped 17 taters this season and owns a .395 expected wOBA. Against righties, he's put up a .390 wOBA and 46.8% fly-ball rate. He's been better on the road (.401 wOBA) than at home (.368), too.

Jackson Chourio to Hit a Home Run (+500)

Clayton Kershaw has been a feel-good story lately, but I think he's a good guy to pick on in the homer market today.

Kershaw has mostly struggled this season, recording a 4.45 SIERA and 17.5% K rate. Righties have tagged him for a 40.2% hard-hit rate and 1.35 homers per nine.

Enter Jackson Chourio.

The young Milwaukee Brewers' outfielder has been lights out against southpaws, posting a .432 wOBA and 39.0% hard-hit rate in the split. In a small sample of 44 home plate appearances with the platoon advantage, Chourio has mashed four home runs.
