MLB HR props for Monday 8/21: We like Wilmer Flores to touch 'em all

What better way to start the new week than to sprinkle some juicy home run props in MLB? Let's gun for a big payout with my three favorite home run props for Monday night's slate. 

Wilmer Flores (+600 FanDuel)

Philadelphia Phillies starter Aaron Nola has struggled to keep the ball in the yard this season, as his 27 home runs allowed are the sixth-most in MLB. Let's attempt to fade him with Wilmer Flores, who leads the San Francisco Giants in batting average (.325), OPS (.956), home runs (five), and RBIs (12) over the last month. Flores also has previous success against Nola with three hits and a homer in 10 ABs against the right-hander. 

Austin Riley (+350 FD)

Austin Riley has been on fire with 19 hits in his last 57 at-bats, including five doubles and three homers. He's also staring down a friendly matchup Monday night against New York Mets starter David Peterson. Riley has eight hits in 18 career ABs against Peterson, and although he hasn't taken the lefty deep yet, he's got a great chance to do so Monday night considering the power surge he's been on lately. 

Jorge Soler (+310 DraftKings)

Only five players in MLB have more home runs than Jorge Soler's 32 dingers this season, and we're expecting No. 33 to come Monday night. In 17 career at-bats against San Diego Padres starter Michael Wacha, Soler is batting .529 and slugging 1.294 with four home runs. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more dominant hitter-pitcher split across the league, so this is a no-brainer.
