Best MLB Home Run Bets: Lock In This Expert's Best MLB Player Prop Bets for Friday

There are so many enticing head-to-head matchups on tonight's MLB slate.

However, I made sure to narrow down my selections to the best three. Let's begin the weekend off with a bang. Here are my favorite three MLB home run props for tonight.

May 24 Best MLB Home Run Props

Wilyer Abreu to Hit a Home Run (+400) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

Wilyer Abreu and the Red Sox will face Milwaukee righty Bryse Wilson tonight. Wilson has really struggled against lefties to begin the season. He's given up a .211 ISO and wOBA of .333 with 30.2% of line drives and only 30.2% of ground balls induced.

Wilson has also struck out only 20.9% of lefties and had allowed an 11.6% barrel percentage to them.

On the other hand, Wilyer Abreu is hitting a .239 ISO and wOBA of .390 against righties this season. The left-handed outfielder has also hit more fly balls than ground balls against righties this year.

In addition, he's smacked 61.6% hard contact against righties and has a barrel percentage of 12.8% against righties. Let's take a chance with Abreu.

Colton Cowser to Hit a Home Run (+600) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

Colton Cowser has hit a .234 ISO and wOBA of .386 against righties this season. The potential AL Rookie of the Year candidate has roped 27.7% of line drives against righties and has hit a 52.3% hard contact rate with a 13.8% barrel percentage against righties this year.

He'll be in line to face Chris Flexen of the White Sox. Flexen, a righty, has allowed a .276 ISO and wOBA of .367 to his first 63 lefties faced this season. He's also earned just 15.9% of strikeouts against lefties and has allowed over 37% of fly balls.

We'll roll with Cowser to see if he can continue his scorching-hot start to the season against righties.

Cody Bellinger to Hit a Home Run (+420) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds

Cody Bellinger has the highest ISO number on the Cubs against righties this season.

He's hit a .240 ISO and wOBA of .327 with only 18.2% of strikeouts against righties. Beyond that, he's added 50.6% of fly balls and just 26% of ground balls against righties. He's also hit 40.3% of hard contact with a 9.1% barrel percentage.

Tonight, he'll get to face Miles Mikolas of the Cardinals. Mikolas has allowed lefties to hit a .219 ISO and wOBA of .367. He's also added just 17.4% of strikeouts against lefties while allowing 28.7% of line drives and 26.4% of fly balls.

Bellinger is in a good spot to launch one tonight.
