MLB best Home Run bets: 3 home run props for Friday 6/23

It's shaping up to be a great day for home run props in MLB, as favorable weather and strong, helping winds will be prevalent around the league Friday. Here are my three favorite bets for the slate. 

Shohei Ohtani (+285 FanDuel)

Shohei Ohtani at Coors Field against a right-handed pitcher who's given up 12 home runs in 15 starts? Please and thank you. 

Ohtani leads MLB with 24 home runs and has been scorching hot with eight homers in his last 12 games. This is close to auto-bet territory.

Bryce Harper (+350 FD)

There's no player in baseball right now more due than Bryce Harper. The Philadelphia Phillies slugger is batting .296 this season, but he's only hit three home runs and hasn't hit one in 22 straight games. Friday looks like a great matchup for Harper to break out of his power slump, as he gets to face a right-hander in Kodai Senga, and Ballpark Pal projects a 30 percent boost to homers due to the strong winds blowing out to center. 

Matt Olson 2+ homers (+1700 FD)

Let's have some fun with our last pick, shall we? Friday's matchup between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds could look more like a home run derby than a baseball game. The total is set at 11, the wind will be blowing straight out to center field, and Ballpark Pal projects a 32 percent boost to homers. Matt Olson is the most capable slugger in this matchup and already has two two-homer games this season, so this is worth a sprinkle.
