MLB home run props for Tue. 8/6: Of Coors, we like Mets' Martinez

Alex Bregman went yard on Monday night to cash our +475 ticket and give us three straight winning days in home run props. Let's stay hot with three more HR bets for Tuesday's MLB slate. 

Tyler Fitzgerald (+370 DraftKings)

Giants at Nationals, 6:45 p.m. ET

We're trying to resist betting Fitzgerald to hit a home run every time he's in the starting lineup, but why would we stop now? The San Francisco Giants rookie is batting .340 and slugging .811 with seven homers over his last 13 games. He's also crushed left-handed pitching all year, and Mackenzie Gore presents a decent matchup because he throws his 4-seam fastball 55.1 percent of the time. As if that wasn't enough, the forecast is calling for scorching hot temperatures and a helping wind blowing out to left field at Nationals Park.

Gunnar Henderson (+550 DK)

Orioles at Blue Jays, 7:07 p.m. ET

Henderson went 15 straight games without hitting a home run, but he finally broke the cold streak with a dinger in his last game two days ago. The Baltimore Orioles slugger has gone 6-9 with a double and a homer in his last two starts, so this could be the beginning of another power surge. This is a great spot to keep it rolling, too, as Henderson is 4-7 with two home runs in his career against Toronto Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt. 

J.D. Martinez (+300 FanDuel)

Mets at Rockies, 8:40 p.m. ET

It wouldn't be a home run prop card without a bet from Coors Field, would it? Not only is Coors Field one of the friendliest parks in MLB to home runs, but Colorado Rockies starter Kyle Freeland ranks in the 12th percentile in barrel rate and has given up five home runs in his last four starts. In 10 career plate appearances against Freeland, Martinez is batting .556 and slugging 1.000 with a double and a homer. Martinez loves facing off against lefties, and Freeland is clearly one of his favorites.
