So, even if Bradish exits this game without Rice hitting a home run, he still likes going against the bullpen as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In search of his first all-star appearance this season look for <strong>Rice to continue that campaign tonight hitting his home run prop at +330 odds<\/strong> against Baltimore today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: George Springer (TOR) +520<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If we can get better than +500 odds on a veteran leadoff hitter who has averaged 24 home runs across the last five seasons we\u2019ll take it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what odds George Springer has to hit his home run prop tonight as the Blue Jays host Griffin Jax and the Rays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be somewhat of a bullpen game for the Rays with although Jax had four innings pitched in his last start giving up two earned runs and no home runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Springer has had success against Jax all-time though going 3-5 with two home runs and has a home run off reliever Bryan Baker in 11 at-bats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It hasn\u2019t been a successful season for Springer so far though missing time in April due to injury but is starting to pick it up as of late going 5-17 in his last four games with both of his home runs coming at home this season as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the season George is hitting .230 and slugging .410 at home and while those numbers aren\u2019t staggering, it\u2019s much better than the .167 average and slugging percentage he has in road games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting the Rays bullpen has given up the sixth most home runs on the season so <strong>let\u2019s take Springer at +520 odds<\/strong> to hit a home run at home tonight against Tampa Bay.<\/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_13918\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;list=PLhz4vN97EdvhLDiG6QgiDH1cA7xReWX6P&#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 data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"\u26be\ufe0f Free MLB Picks Today: Your Guide to Winning MLB Bets!\"  data-facadeoembed=\"playlist?list=PLhz4vN97EdvhLDiG6QgiDH1cA7xReWX6P\"  \/><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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoyed the Home Run Prop Bets?
