It’s a new week and the Boston Red Sox just keep on winning, folks.

Monday, June 17’s slate is a strong one that features the Sox as well as many other top teams in the league such as the Phillies, Dodgers, Brewers and Braves. With the top teams in play, there are sure to be plenty of long bombs and Ks put on the board to bet on, so keep scrolling to see some of the best value picks for today’s 9 upcoming matchups.

Best MLB Strikeout Props (June 17)

Prop (Game) Odds
Paul Skenes Over 8.5 Ks (DraftKings) +130
Randy Vasquez Under 3.5 Ks (Caesars) +114
Jose Soriano Over 5.5 Ks (DraftKings) -135

Skenes has taken the major league by storm with 46 strikeouts through 33 innings pitched. He’s hit this total twice in his past 5 outings, missing by 1 strikeout in 2 of those 3 misses. The reason to go over this time around is his opponent – the Cincinnati Reds, who rank 7th in the nation in total strikeouts this season.

Vasquez is not a strikeout pitcher and faces one of the best batting teams in the majors – one that is returning home after 2 straight losses.

Soriano faces a Brewers team that strikes out a lot, but it’s one that has been under the strikeout prop in their last 4 outings. Soriano’s strikeout numbers have been falling since the start of the season, too.

Best Home Run Picks For Today

Hitting on a home run pick is electrifying and can offer a big payout. And while it can be among the most random props to score on, there is some strategy that can help your odds when searching for the best home run prop to pick.

Here are 3 home run picks for Today (Monday, June 17)

Freddie Freeman vs. Rockies (+270 Caesars)

Freeman is not only one of the better power hitters in the majors, he gets the advantage of playing in Denver – a naturally home run heavy park. Cal Quantrill hasn’t given up a home run in over 4 games, but Freeman has had his way with him across his career, hitting .500 with 6 hits, a pair of doubles and a triple.

Freeman has yet to take Quantrill the distance, but given his ability to put the bat on the ball against him there’s gotta be a first time for everything, right?

Caesars has the best odds for this prop. DraftKings sat at +260 this morning while Fanatics is at +265 at time of writing.

Bryce Harper vs. Padres (+270 DraftKings)

Harper has not faced off against San Diego starter Randy Vasquez throughout his career, but the 25-year old has given up a lot of home runs this season, including 5 in his last 4 outings.

Harper is already one of the best home run hitters in the game, and he’s performed at his best in Philadelphia this season. The star first baseman has hit 11 of his 15 home runs in Philly.

DraftKings shows the best odds for Harper’s home run prop at +270. Caesars sat at +260 at time of writing.

Marcell Ozuna vs Tigers (+310 Fanatics)

Ozuna has had an unbelievable start to the season for the Braves, launching 20 home runs thus far. Like Harper, Ozuna faces a pitcher that has given up a lot of long bombs in his recent outings (3 in his last 3 games, has only allowed 4 on the season.)

Reese Olson is the man in question for the Tigers, a pitcher that Ozuna has yet to face across his time in the majors.

Have we mentioned Ozuna is especially hot right now? He’s hit a pair of home runs in his past 3 outings and isn’t showing any signs of slowing:
