MLB home run props for 4/26: Reynolds to rap one out
Coming off a +420 cash on Teoscar Hernandez to go yard on Thursday night, we're on the hunt for back-to-back winning days in home run props. Here are our three favorite HR bets for Friday's MLB slate.
Freddie Freeman (+480 FanDuel)
Dodgers vs. Blue Jays 7:07 p.m. ET
Freddie Freeman is on an absolute heater right now. The Los Angeles Dodgers star is batting .500 with a 1.333 OPS over the last week, but the home runs haven't followed. Surprisingly, Freeman has cracked only one home run in his first 99 at-bats this season. The power is going to catch up eventually, and Freeman already has a home run off Chris Bassitt in just eight career at-bats against him.
Xander Bogaerts (+800 FD)
Phillies vs. Padres, 9:40 p.m. ET
Aaron Nola is one of the best pitchers in baseball to fade with home run props. The Philadelphia Phillies starter has already given up six home runs in five starts, so let's bet against him with Xander Bogaerts. After a slow start to the season, Bogaerts is starting to turn it on with a .346 batting average, a .914 OPS and a home run over the last week. The Padres slugger can jump on a Nola meatball at some point.
Bryan Reynolds (+650 DraftKings)
Pirates vs. Giants, 10:15 p.m. ET
Another pitcher we're interested in fading on Friday night is Kyle Harrison, who's given up five homers in his first five starts. The San Francisco Giants lefty is giving up the seventh-highest fly ball rate among qualified pitchers this season, which will be dangerous with strong winds and gusts of 30 miles per hour blowing out to right field at Oracle Park. Let's roll with Bryan Reynolds, who leads the Pittsburgh Pirates this season in home runs (two) and slugging percentage (.613) against left-handed pitching.
