    Philadelphia's Bryce Harper.

    We're finally back with a fresh pack of home run props for the people. Let's pick up right where we left off with our three favorite HR bets for Wednesday's MLB slate.

    Luis Garcia (+750 DraftKings )

    Nationals at Orioles, 6:35 p.m. ET

    Luis Garcia is on a tear right now, as he’s batting .400 and slugging .644 with three homers over the last 15 days. Now he gets to face Orioles starter Dean Kremer, who’s giving up a 10.8% barrel rate partly due to his 33.2% 4-seam fastball rate. Well, Garcia has a .337 xBA, a .568 xSLG and a 53.4% hard-hit rate against 4-seamers this year. There's a lot to like about Garcia in this matchup.

    Bryce Harper (+520 FanDuel )

    Marlins at Phillies, 6:40 p.m. ET

    Harper is priced so high because he's hit only one home run in his last eight games, but he's starting to swing the bat much better. The Philadelphia Phillies slugger is batting .389 and slugging .611 over the last week. This is a solid matchup against Miami Marlins starter Edward Cabrera, who ranks in the seventh percentile in barrel rate (12.4 percent) and the fourth percentile in hard-hit rate (46.4 percent). Harper is 2-5 with a homer in his career against Cabrera.

    Mark Vientos (+350 FanDuel )

    Athletics at Mets, 7:10 p.m. ET

    We're interested in fading Joey Estes with a home run prop on Wednesday night. The Oakland Athletics starter is giving up a 9.4 percent barrel rate this season party due to his 54.3 percent 4-seam fastball rate. That's great news for Vientos, who has a .323 xBA, a .723 xSLG and a 60.4 percent hard-hit rate against 4-seamers this season.
