Matt Olson's dinger gave us a slight profit in home run props to start the week, so let's keep the momentum rolling with my three favorite players to hit a homer on Tuesday's MLB slate.
There aren't many hitters who can say they love facing former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara, but Trea Turner is surely one of them. In 33 career at-bats against Alcantara, Turner is batting .394 and slugging .546 with two doubles and a homer. The Philadelpia Phillies shortstop has been in a bit of a funk at the dish, but that's why this price is so high. I think the 10/1 is worth a sprinkle with a solid matchup on deck Tuesday.
This number should be higher. Plain and simple. Austin Riley has been on an absolute tear of late with eight home runs and a .979 slugging percentage in his last 12 games. The 26-year-old also leads the Atlanta Braves in home runs off lefties, and he's gotten a hit both times he's faced Los Angeles Angels starter Patrick Sandoval. Give me the +340.
This is strictly a bet on a strong hitter-pitcher matchup. In 14 career at-bats against Baltimore Orioles starter Kyle Bradish, George Springer is batting .500 with four doubles and a home run. Springer has been struggling mightily at the dish since the All-Star break, but a matchup against a familiar foe might be just what he needs to snap his funk.
