Today's Best Home Run Props

Kyle Tucker to Hit a Home Run (+420)

Whenever the Chicago Cubs are taking on a righty, I'm at least somewhat interested in Kyle Tucker in the prop market, and that's especially true today for a date with Edward Cabrera.

Against RHP this season, Tucker sports a 47.3% fly-ball rate and .369 wOBA. That wOBA is being held back by a .250 BABIP in the split -- his career BABIP is .282.

Tucker has been better away from Wrigley this campaign, posting a .408 wOBA in the split while launching 7 of his 10 jacks on the road.

Cabrera, meanwhile, is having a rough go of it through his first 29 1/3 innings in 2025. Cabrera is currently the owner of a 4.55 SIERA, 19.8% K rate and 7.9% swinging-strike rate. He's allowed 1.52 homers per nine innings, with lefties racking up a 40.9% fly-ball rate.

Our MLB home run projections have Tucker projected for 0.36 homers, the second-best clip among all of today's hitters. That makes these +430 odds pretty appealing.

Alec Bohm to Hit a Home Run (+680)

Alec Bohm is at Coors against a lefty, and I'm in.

While Bohm is in the midst of a poor start to the season, amassing just a .285 wOBA through 177 plate appearances, there are some reasons to be excited today. His expected wOBA of .333 looks a lot better than that .285 wOBA, and Bohm has an excellent track record with the platoon advantage, posting a career .362 wOBA and 40.0% hard-hit rate in the split.

Kyle Freeland is getting the ball for the Colorado Rockies. There are some positives in his statistical profile -- at least compared to his previous seasons -- but he's still got a 16.9% strikeout rate overall and is surrendering a .382 wOBA to right-handed hitters.

The Philadelphia Phillies are -140 to go over 5.5 runs, and Bohm's homer odds -- the third-longest among the Phillies' expected starters -- stand out to me.

Christian Yelich to Hit a Home Run (+480)

With Quinn Priester and Dean Kremer on the bump for today's Baltimore Orioles-Milwaukee Brewers clash, I'm looking to this game for homer props. Christian Yelich is my favorite one.

Kremer is getting torched by left-handed bats so far this season, with lefties tagging him for a .381 wOBA, 44.2% fly-ball rate and 2.33 dingers per nine. This was the case in 2024, too, as he gave up 1.64 homers per nine and a 43.7 fly-ball rate in the split.

Yelich can take advantage. Despite a slow start to the year, Yelich still has solid numbers versus RHP, including a .342 wOBA and 36.6% hard-hit rate. All seven of his long-balls have come against righties, and he can put one in the seats today in this friendly matchup.
