MLB HR props for Wed. 7/3: Correa should pounce on Tigers rookie

BOOM! We cashed not one, but TWO home run props on Tuesday to collect 7.1 units in one day. That's the beauty of home run props, folks. Let's follow up that performance with another three-pack of HR bets for Wednesday's MLB slate. 

Manny Machado (+450 FanDuel)

Padres at Rangers, 8:05 p.m. ET

The Padres are the perfect team to target with a home run prop in this matchup. Not only is it projected to be scorching hot with a strong wind blowing out to left-center field at Globe Life Field, but Texas Rangers starter Jon Gray has given up 17 earned runs and four homers in his last three starts. Machado is 11-33 (.333) with four home runs and a .727 slugging percentage against Gray in his career, so he clearly loves this matchup.

Elly De La Cruz (+550 DraftKings)

Reds at Yankees, 7:05 p.m. ET

New York Yankees starter Carlos Rodon is in a major funk right now. The left-hander has given up 15 earned runs and five homers in his last two starts alone, and he now has the eighth-highest barrel rate (10.6 percent) in the league among qualified pitchers. This price is so high because of the lefty-lefty matchup, but De La Cruz has been crushing southpaws of late. In his last 19 plate appearances against lefties, De La Cruz is batting .438 and slugging .938 with two homers. 

Carlos Correa (+480 FD)

Tigers at Twins, 8:10 p.m. ET

Correa is back on a roll. The Minnesota Twins shortstop is batting .389 and slugging .778 against right-handed pitching over the last 10 days, and he's staring down a juicy matchup on Wednesday night. Detroit Tigers starter Keider Montero has already given up three home runs through his first two MLB starts. The rookie is giving up a 12.5 percent barrel rate, and there aren't many players finding the sweet spot more often than Correa lately.
