April 12 Best MLB Home Run Props
Jorge Soler to Hit a Home Run (+300) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
While Jake Waguespack will start for the Rays, Tyler Alexander is expected to get the bulk of the work tonight. He was initially on the bereavement list but is expected to be back tonight.
Alexander has already allowed a .400 ISO and wOBA of .554 to his first 32 righties.
Meanwhile, Jorge Soler has smashed a .405 ISO and wOBA of .438 against lefties dating back to last year.
Soler has also hit just 28.1% of ground balls and 39.3% of fly balls, with 59.6% of hard contact and a 22.5% barrel percentage. Soler is in the perfect position to knock a home run tonight.
Will Benson to Hit a Home Run (+400) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Will Benson has hit a .252 ISO and wOBA of .391 against righties since last season. Benson has also smashed 30.7% of line drives against righties and has hit 48.9% of hard contact against them as well.
He'll take on Chris Flexen of the White Sox, who has already struggled this season. Flexen has allowed a .235 ISO a wOBA of .324 to 18 lefties. He's also earned just 5.6% of strikeouts against lefties this season.
Last year, Flexen had a .229 ISO and wOBA of .398. He also struck out only 15.9% of batters. He's one of the worst starters in the game right now. Look for Benson to pounce on him.
Zack Gelof to Hit a Home Run (+630) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Nationals will pitch Jake Irvin against the Athletics tonight. Irvin has already allowed a .273 ISO to his first 23 righties and has struck out righties just 21.7% of the time.
Meanwhile, he's in line to face Zack Gelof, who has been extremely valuable against right-handed pitching as a righty. Since coming into the league, Gelof has hit a .291 ISO and wOBA of .408 against righties.
He's also smashed 48.5% of hard contact and has hit more than 26% of fly balls against righties. Gelof isn't a massive power bat. But he can get ahold of one against Irvin tonight.
At +630, the numbers are too good to pass up.
