⚾ Brent Rooker (Athletics) to hit a home run ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +340 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $34)

Trample everything in your path (excluding loved ones! Though I respect the passion) to gobble up this outlier price from FanDuel for one of MLB's premier sluggers.

Rooker enters play today among the top 15 in dingers leaguewide with his 15 long balls, and the rest of our best MLB betting sites are giving him odds in the vicinity of +260 to +280 to go deep. Caesars, which often lags in this market, is even all the way down at +250.

Looking at the implied probability, that means our other best sports betting sites are giving him roughly a 27.78% chance of hitting a round-tripper today. That's almost directly in line with projections for tonight's matchup against the Houston Astros and Colton Gordon, who's making just his seventh career start while sporting a 4.70 ERA, and he's allowed multiple homers in two of his last three outings.

But the FanDuel number leads to a probability of 22.73%, notably below projections for a baseball punisher who's been riding high lately while putting up a .317 batting average and .919 OPS in June.

Rooker hitting one over the fence isn't among the most-bet props at BetMGM today, but one of our other featured mashers does make that list. It's James Wood, and the Nationals' rising star homering was the fourth most-bet prop today at that book, according to John Ewing.

And anyone who jumped aboard that train (us included!) was given an early reward this afternoon. Here's to hoping for more of the same from Rooker tonight.
