Top 3 Home Run Prop Picks for June 20

1. Elly De La Cruz Home Run (+480) Reds vs Cardinals 7:15 p.m. ET

Since his run of four straight games with a home run, De La Cruz is 0-for-10 over a three-game stretch. That reverses course tonight in St. Louis, where he faces Andre Pallante. The right-hander has seen his home run rate soar this year and while most of it has happened on the road, he’s susceptible to the long ball right now. De La Cruz already has 16 and the MLB odds look right for a pick here.

2. Yainer Diaz Home Run (+470) Astros vs Angels 9:38 p.m. ET

The Astros’ home run binge was interrupted Thursday in Sacramento, but they’ve been on a tear otherwise. They had eight in the previous two games against the A’s and while Diaz was on the outside looking into that party, he has been heating up. He also has a double in two career at-bats against Yusei Kikuchi and has been very good against lefties this year. This one works for our MLB props today.

3. Ryan McMahon Home Run (+480) Diamondbacks vs Rockies 8:40 p.m. ET

We don’t get to jump on too many Rockies with our MLB betting trends, but here’s a stab at it. This is a Coors Field contest, so there’s that, and McMahon will be taking aim at struggling Zac Gallen. The righty has allowed five homers over his last three starts and served up four against the Rockies earlier in the year.

We also isolated this in our MLB matchups because McMahon is a .282 lifetime hitter vs Gallen.
