Lefty Shota Imanaga takes the mound tonight allowing a whopping 28 home runs already this season as we\u2019ll look for Miguel Vargas to hit his home run prop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White Sox third baseman has been on an absolute tear as of late batting .318 and slugging .955 over the last week including four home runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against lefties like Imanaga this season Vargas is batting .261 and slugging .558 compared to righties batting .229 and slugging .462. When the first time these two met up in May, Vargas had himself a solid series going 4-12 with two home runs with Imanaga allowing six home runs combined across his last three starts (16.1 IP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White Sox are coming off a sweep of the Tigers in Detroit in which Vargas was a huge part of so let\u2019s take him to keep the momentum going into Wrigley Field tonight <strong>taking him to hit a home run at +330 odds<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other White Sox batters to consider for a home run prop includes <strong>Munetaka Murakami (+330)<\/strong> and <strong>Colson Montgomery (+370)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MLB <strong>Home Run Prop<\/strong> Best Bet of the Day #2: Max Muncy (LAD) +250<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After losing three of four games at home to the Brewers the Dodgers will try to get back on track tonight on the road playing the Rockies.
