Best MLB Home Run Props Today: Jameson Taillon Struggling to Limit the Long Ball

Veteran Cubs’ starter Jameson Taillon has seen his season go off the rails over the last couple of weeks. He has allowed seven home runs over his previous two starts, giving up some easy home run prop bets. We’ll share why we are locking this one in, as well as two others we love. 

The odds we use for our home run bets are taken from Caesars Sportsbook. If you’d like to try Caesars, use promo code WSNDYW to claim a “Bet $1, Get Ten 100% Profit Boost Tokens” offer.

Home Run Picks for Tuesday, May 20

Kyle Stowers Anytime Home Run (+450) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Marlins 27-year-old outfielder has come out of nowhere to lead this surprising Miami offense. He is batting .305 with 10 home runs, and his .944 OPS is the ninth-best in the league. The left-handed hitter isn’t showing any signs of cooling off, with four home runs over his last nine games. While his average is boosted by his production against left-handed pitching, all ten of his long balls have come against righties.

We love Stowers to go deep again tonight with Jameson Taillon (2-3, 4.53 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) on the mound for the Cubs. The righty has been a mess over his last two starts, thanks primarily to allowing seven home runs.

Kyle Scwarber Anytime Home Run (+225) at Caesars Sportsbook

Kyle Schwarber is once again one of the league’s top power hitters. He has 15 home runs on the season, putting him in league with Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. While he isn’t as consistent as those two superstars, he is set up to have a monster night with Antonio Senzatela (1-7, 6.39 ERA, 1.99 WHIP) starting for Colorado.

The veteran Rockies’ starter has been bad all season, especially when at the unfriendly confines of Coors Field. He has allowed five home runs in four starts there, thanks primarily to allowing a .348 OBA. 

Schwarber has faced Senzatela ten times, managing three hits and one home run. Expect to see that total get a boost tonight.

Shohei Ohtani Anytime Home Run (+150) at Caesars Sportsbook

This has been one of the safest bets in baseball over the last month. The three-time MVP leads the league with 16 home runs, nine of which have come in May. He is locked in at the plate, once again proving why he’s the most dangerous hitter in baseball.

Ohtani will have an excellent chance to go deep again tonight with Ryne Nelson (1-1, 5.13 ERA, 1.22 WHIP) on the mound. The spot starter hasn’t been good this season, and that won’t change against an elite Dodgers lineup tonight. Arizona has allowed the fourth-most home runs in baseball, giving us all the more reason to lock this in.
