    Colorado Rockies second base Brendan Rodgers.

    We're looking to close out the week with a bang, and there's no better way to do that than to target some juicy home run props in MLB. Let's check out our three favorite HR bets for Friday's loaded slate.

    Justin Turner (+630 FanDuel )

    Rangers at Blue Jays, 7:07 p.m. ET

    Turner has been on fire since coming back from the All-Star break. The Toronto Blue Jays veteran is batting .389 and slugging .556 in his last five games, and he's staring down a great matchup on Friday night. In 12 career plate appearances against Texas Rangers starter Andrew Heaney, Turner is batting .300 and slugging .900 with two homers.

    Jake Burger (+475 DraftKings )

    Marlins at Brewers, 7:10 p.m. ET

    We're interested in fading Milwaukee Brewers starter Freddy Peralta with a home run prop. The right-hander ranks in the 33rd percentile in barrel rate (8.5 percent) because he throws his 4-seam fastball 53.8 percent of the time. That's great news for Burger, who's batting .293 and slugging .569 with a 60.5-mph hard-hit rate against 4-seamers this season. Burger swings hard on every pitch, so let's hope he can identify a fastball and send one deep.

    Brendan Rodgers (+1060 FD )

    Rockies at Giants, 10:15 p.m. ET

    Rodgers isn't a prolific home run hitter — he's hit only seven in 315 at-bats this season — but there couldn't be a better setup for him than this matchup. San Francisco Giants starter Kyle Harrison throws his 4-seam fastball a whopping 61.0 percent of the time, which is one of the highest rates in the league. Well, Rodgers is batting .394 and slugging .577 with a .447 wOBA against 4-seam fastballs this year. He's also hit four of his seven homers and is slugging .519 against left-handed pitching.
