Chris Flexen makes the start for Chicago, and Flexen is 8th in the MLB in contact allowed for starting pitchers. Flexen features a fastball and changeup as his top two pitches, and Steer led the Reds in run value against both those pitches last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steer had 14 home runs off of righties last season, and 13 of his 23 home runs came on the road. Steer also led the Reds in hard hits over the past week, so he is seeing and hitting the ball very well at the moment. The White Sox bullpen is also not good, so regardless of whether Flexen is on the bump or a reliever, Steer is one of the best home run prop bets to make tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor\" id=\"newsletterfrm\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"hottest_play_area\">\n  <div id=\"newsletter_widget\" class=\"hottest_play_third_area newsletter_widget\">\n    <div class=\"hottest_play_third_area_content\">\n      <div class=\"sign-up-offer-text\">\n        <p>SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBERS<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"newsletter-thank new\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <a class=\"anchor-newsletter\"><\/a>\n        Thanks for signing up!

Seager only has one home run so far this season, but since he came into the season dealing with a nagging injury, we are not concerned about his lack of power so far this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Houston&#8217;s bullpen has thrown a ton of pitches over the last three and five games, so the Astros need France to go deep into this one. Since this is the case, we project Seager to face France three times, and based on how well Seager has seen France, we love that matchup, making this one of the best home run prop bets to make tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/profile\/goldsheet-lite\"><strong>Check Out GoldSheet Lite!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_39819\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vRO6OYtiPaQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Maximizing Wins in Early Season MLB Betting: Baseball Tips, Strategies &amp; Insights\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/vRO6OYtiPaQ\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vRO6OYtiPaQ\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Maximizing Wins in Early Season MLB Betting: Baseball Tips, Strategies &amp; Insights\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Unlock the secrets to successful early season MLB betting with our comprehensive guide.
