MLB season is in full swing, and we have a Sunday slate of up to 16 games, thanks to a Cubs vs. Guardians doubleheader.

I've got four MLB Home Run Props and home-run picks from these games: Blue Jays vs. White Sox, Phillies vs. Rockies, Astros vs. Athletics and Mariners vs Angels.

Blue Jays vs White Sox HR Prop

George Springer (+480)

The weather is cold today over in Chicago, but the wind is blowing out at 14 mph, which more than makes up for it.

The matchup for George Springer against White Sox starter Davis Martin is a plus for home runs, as he grades out as an above-average HR pitcher with normal splits.

The Blue Jays DH and outfielder has been one of the best HR hitters in the league since the beginning of last season, and I have the true odds around +425.

Pick: George Springer Home Run (+480 or Better)


Phillies vs Rockies Home Run Pick

Hunter Goodman (+400)

I have no idea why Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is priced so highly here, but I'm not going to argue.

The Phillies' Taijuan Walker hasn't been a great pitcher for a few years and has been getting absolutely crushed by the long ball over the last two seasons, allowing close to 2 HR/9.

Goodman has reverse splits, so he grades out better vs. righties, and Coors Field is one of the best ballparks in the league for power.

I have the true odds on Goodman under +350.

Pick: Hunter Goodman Home Run (+400 or Better)


Astros vs Athletics Home Run Prop

Yordan Alvarez (+285)

Yordan Alvarez does get a lefty/lefty matchup here, but the ballpark is a big plus for homers, and the A's starter, Jacob Lopez, is still a gas can for power.

The Astros slugger is one of the best hitters in the league, and I have the true odds on him around +275.

Pick: Yordan Alvarez Home Run (+285 or Better)


Mariners vs Angels HR Pick

Mike Trout (+360)

Mike Trout has looked like the Trout of old so far this season, with all his underlying numbers looking great.

The power is there, and the eye has been there so far.

The matchup against Luis Castillo is an average one for power, and the weather is good today, with temperatures in the low 80s and the wind blowing out.

I have the true odds on Trout around +300.

Pick: Mike Trout Home Run (+360 or Better)
