- Top MLB Home Run Bets for June 23: Schwarber, Walker, and Olson's Matchups
It's the "Tuesday Trot Tracker," and the home run matchups are screaming for attention. We have the most dangerous power hitter in baseball facing a pitcher who can't keep the ball in the park, a young slugger with elite hard-hit numbers drawing a perfect platoon matchup, and a proven masher taking aim at a pitcher who has been getting torched by left-handed power.
Kyle Schwarber gets Zack Littell , who just served up four homers in his last start and has been punished by lefties all season. Jordan Walker steps in against Eduardo Rodriguez , who has allowed eight of his nine home runs to right-handed hitters. Meanwhile, Matt Olson gets Griffin Canning , who has surrendered all eight of his homers to lefties and has been getting tagged regularly over the last month.

Best Home Run Props Today
Kyle Schwarber Home Run Bet (+240)
Schwarber and Zack Littell might be the easiest home run matchup on Tuesday's board. Schwarber leads baseball with 29 bombs and gets a pitcher who has already allowed 20 homers this season. Even better, 16 of those have come against left-handed hitters like Schwarber. He's already taken Littell deep once and now gets another crack at a pitcher who served up four home runs in his last start. When the best power hitter in baseball meets one of the most homer-prone pitchers in baseball, I'm betting on fireworks.

Jordan Walker Home Run Bet(+383)
Walker is overdue to leave the yard, and Tuesday sets up perfectly. The Cardinals slugger already has 18 home runs and absolutely crushes left-handed pitching with a .600 slugging percentage. Now he gets Eduardo Rodriguez, who has allowed eight of his nine homers this season to right-handed hitters. Add in Walker's elite 51.9% hard-hit rate and Rodriguez's fly-ball tendencies, and this feels like a prime spot for a Jordan Walker moonshot.
Matt Olson Home Run Bet (+360)
The Braves slugger already has 20 homers this season and now gets Griffin Canning, who has been getting bullied by left-handed power. All eight home runs Canning has allowed this year have come against lefties, including seven over his last six starts. Olson has already taken him deep twice in their career meetings, and with his elite hard-hit numbers, this feels like a perfect spot for homer No. 21.
