He has a .533 slugging percentage across his last 30 days and against Quantrill all-time Devers is 7-14 with three doubles and a home run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also worth noting that Devers has hit a home run against multiple Rangers relievers including Tyler Alexander, Jacob Latz and Chase Silseth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take <strong>Devers to hit his home run prop tonight at +315 odds<\/strong> with other Giants hitters to consider for a home run prop being <strong>Bryce Eldridge (+330)<\/strong> and <strong>Willy Adames (+480)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MLB <strong>Home Run Prop<\/strong> Best Bet of the Day #2: Victor Mesa Jr. (TB) +440<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After losing two of three games to the White Sox at home, the Rays head west to take on the Rockies in Colorado tonight. Veteran righty Michael Lorenzen takes the mound tonight and has struggled this season compiling a 8.34 home ERA while allowing 16 home runs in total. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re taking Victor Mesa Jr. to hit his ninth home run of the season after blasting five of his eight in July. Over the last 30 days Mesa Jr. is batting .255 to go along with a .569 slugging percentage and has been solid against right handed pitching blasting seven of his eight home runs against them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has hit five of his eight home runs on the road this season while slugging.467 compared to a .381 slugging percentage at home. Lorenzen has struggled specifically against left handed hitters like Mesa Jr. allowing them to bat .344 to go along with a .610 slugging percentage and 12 of his 16 home runs compared to righties allowing a .316 average and .431 slugging percentage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a favorable hitters environment to go along with a favorable pitching matchup, let\u2019s go with <strong>Mesa Jr. at +440 odds to hit his home run prop<\/strong> tonight. Other Rays batters to consider for a home run prop includes <strong>Cedric Mullins (+420)<\/strong> and <strong>Jonathan Aranda (+430)<\/strong>.<\/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_47538\"  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?
