Free home run prop picks each day come at you compliments of WagerTalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s see if we can beat the books with home run prop bets on Tuesday! You can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/mlb\">free MLB picks<\/a> every day at WagerTalk! Here are the best home run prop bets to make for <strong>Tuesday, May 20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Home Run Prop Bets &#8211; MLB Free HR Props Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cody Bellinger (NYY) +680<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cody Bellinger looks to make it three straight games with a home run as the Yankees host lefty Patrick Corbin and the Rangers at Yankee Stadium tonight. Yes, we\u2019re aware this is a lefty vs lefty matchup, but it looks to be in Bellinger\u2019s favor here tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He posts a .387 batting average to go along with a .677 slugging percentage against lefties on the season compared to a .226 average and .403 slugging percentage against righties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five of Bellinger\u2019s seven home runs have come at home on the season with Corbin allowing a .516 slugging percentage to left-handed hitters compared to a .400 slugging percentage against righties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corbin did fare well in his only start against the Yankees last season, but recently has allowed three home runs across his last three starts combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For someone who is batting .351 on the month and slugging .632, we get excellent odds for <strong>Bellinger to hit a home run tonight at +680<\/strong>. Other Yankees hitters to look at for a home run include <strong>Aaron Judge (+200)<\/strong> and <strong>Paul Goldschmidt (+500)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Wilmer Flores (SF) +560<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Giants look to bounce back at home tonight as they host the Royals for the second of three games as Wilmer Flores looks to regain the power that saw him hit three home runs in one game last Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, he does lead the Giants in home runs hit this season as they get righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the nine home runs Lorenzen has given up on the season, eight of them have come on the road and five of them coming against righties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his career, Flores is 7-14 with three home runs against Lorenzen with the Giants first baseman doing most of his damage at home as well batting .349 with a .554 slugging percentage at Oracle Park compared to a .167 average and .345 slugging percentage on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Flores has just one hit in his last nine at-bats, he\u2019s still batting .310 for the month to go along with a .500 slugging percentage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We get <strong>great value on Flores to hit a home run tonight at +560<\/strong> with <strong>Matt Chapman (+500)<\/strong> and <strong>Mike Yastrzemski (+600)<\/strong> being other Giants batters to consider for a home run as well.<\/p>\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_26234\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wip5EskfNxw?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=\"MLB Predictions Today | Tuesday MLB Top Picks Today for May 20, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Wip5EskfNxw\/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\/Wip5EskfNxw\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"MLB Predictions Today | Tuesday MLB Top Picks Today for May 20, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\u26be\ufe0f MLB Predictions Today | Tuesday MLB Top Picks Today for May 20, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond: Get MLB best bets, predictions, picks, and daily baseball betting tips from expert handicapper Drew Martin on Drew&#039;s Daily Diamond!
