Elly De La Cruz to Hit a Home Run (+310)

Nationals at Reds, 6:41 p.m. ET

Elly De La Cruz is pretty easy to get behind today.

He's taking on Jake Irvin, a righty who had a miserable time versus lefty bats last year, permitting a .384 wOBA and 2.32 home runs per nine innings in the split.

Elly is at his best against right-handers. Over his career, he has a .361 wOBA in the split. He's also been lights out this year at Great American Ball Park, generating a .454 wOBA at home -- with seven of his 10 jacks coming in Cincy.

Once Irvin departs, Elly will face a Washington Nationals bullpen that ranks fourth-worst in reliever xFIP.

In his preferred split against a meh righty at a homer-friendly park, De La Cruz can leave the yard tonight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does +210 mean on an MLB home run prop bet?

A +210 line means a $100 bet returns $210 in profit if the player homers. You can bet any amount — a $10 bet at +210 returns $21 in profit. The number reflects the implied probability the sportsbook assigns to the event (roughly 32% for +210 odds).

What happens to my FanDuel HR prop if the player doesn't start?

FanDuel's policy is that a HR prop bet will not be voided if the player records at least one at-bat — even as a pinch hitter. If they don't get any at-bat, the bet is typically voided. Always check FanDuel's official terms before placing your wager.

Can I parlay home run props together on FanDuel?

Yes. FanDuel allows you to parlay multiple HR props as a standard parlay or as part of a Same Game Parlay (SGP) within a single game. All legs must win for the parlay to pay out.

What factors matter most when betting MLB home run props?

Some of the most important factors are: the hitter's recent HR rate and raw power profile, the opposing pitcher's home run rate allowed, ballpark dimensions and park factors, wind direction and game-time temperature, and batter-vs-pitcher handedness splits.
