It's "Wednesday Wallop Watch," and the home run setups are looking juicy all across the slate. We have Jake Burger stepping into Coors Field against a pitcher getting crushed by right-handed power, Ketel Marte facing a starter he's already torched throughout his career, and Bo Bichette drawing a matchup against one of the more homer-prone arms in baseball right now.
The fly-ball trends are there, the splits line up perfectly, and the pitchers are allowing plenty of loud contact. If you're hunting long balls Wednesday night, these are the bats worth backing.

Best Home Run Props Today
Jake Burger Home Run Bet (+402)
Burger gets a perfect setup Wednesday night at Coors Field against Kyle Freeland, who has already allowed seven home runs this season, including six to right-handed hitters batting .307 against him. Freeland has also been getting tagged lately with five home runs allowed this month alone. Burger leads the Texas Rangers with eight home runs and brings serious power every time he steps in the box. This feels like a really strong spot for another long ball Wednesday night.
Ketel Marte Home Run Bet (+TBD)
Marte has absolutely crushed Tyler Mahle in his career, going 5-for-9 with two doubles and a home run against him already. All five of Marte's home runs this season have also come against righties like Mahle. He has given up nine home runs this year and still allows plenty of fly balls, so this feels like a great chance for Marte to finally snap his May home run drought.
Bo Bichette Home Run Bet (+TBD)
Bichette has crushed Zack Littell in his career, going 6-for-14 with a double and a home run against him already. The average hasn't totally been there for Bichette this season, but he's still got five bombs and has hit righties much better. Littell has also been giving up a ton of damage with 14 home runs allowed already this year while continuing to allow plenty of fly balls. This feels like a pretty good spot for Bichette to leave the yard Wednesday night.
