Best Home Run Props Today
Miguel Vargas Home Run Bet (+497)
Vargas has officially crashed the 30-homer club, and Monday brings a familiar pitcher to keep the party going. Vargas is 5-for-11 with a bomb against Gavin Williams, who’s been having trouble keeping baseballs in the yard lately. Williams has surrendered 27 homers this season, including six over his last six starts, with righties doing the most damage.

Jackson Merrill Home Run Bet (+291)
Merrill is seeing beach balls at the plate right now, crushing three homers over his last four games. Monday brings another juicy spot against Tomoyuki Sugano, who’s been hammered by left-handed power. Twenty-one of his 29 homers allowed have come against lefties, while Merrill has launched 20 of his 25 against righties. The bat is scorching and the splits line up perfectly.
Zach Neto Home Run Bet (+TBD)
Neto is one big swing away from setting a new career high, and Monday gives him a rookie lefty to chase it against. Neto has 26 bombs this season, including eight against southpaws, while Kade Anderson has already surrendered four homers through four starts. Neto has the power and Anderson is still learning life in the majors.
