Here are our favorite HR props for todayâ€™s slate.

Wednesdayâ€™s Best MLB Player To Hit A HR Prop Bets

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook

Mike Trout (+280)

Mike Trout is averaging an HR in about every 16 at-bats; he has now been homerless over his last 20 at-bats; he is due!

The good news for Trout, he is going up against Lance Lynn. Lynn has an HR/9 of 1.71, one of the highest among todayâ€™s starters, and has allowed at least a home run in five of his last seven starts.

Matt Olson (+215)

Surprisingly enough, we are one Athletics win away from seeing the worst team in baseball completing a three-game sweep against the best team in baseball. The Oakland Athletics have won the first two games of the series and limited one of the best offenses in baseball to three total runs.

But we have seen this from the Braves before; just last week, the Braves lost two games in a row to the Phillies and then came back and put on a show, exploding for 11 runs which seven came in the first inning.

Today, the Braves can beat up on another lousy pitcher. Oaklandâ€™s starter James Kaprielian is 0-4 with an 8.45 ERA. I look for another offensive showcase by the Braves this afternoon.

Bo Bichette (+650)

Julio Teheran is making his second of the season, and unfortunately for him, he has to face one of the best teams against right-handed pitching.

The Blue Jays rank 4th in both wRC+ and wOBA and 8th in Slugging % against RHP.

Bo Bichette is tied for HRs against righties with eight dingers. At +650 odds, Bichette makes for some great value in todayâ€™s HR props.

Freddie Freeman (+500) & Max Muncy (+340)

As I mentioned in my NRFI Props this morning, it is Patrick Corbin Day. Anytime I can fade Corbin, I will.

The current Dodgers roster has 156 plate appearances against Corbin, batting .288 with an OPS of .847 and seven home runs.
