On April 29, 2025, Casey Wilson highlights home run prop bets for several MLB players, taking advantage of favorable hitting conditions in various ballparks. With 30 teams in action, he focuses on specific matchups, assessing pitchers' handiness and pitch tendencies. Wilson's strategy involves a round robin bet with five promising hitters: Jose Ramirez, Trevor Larnach, Jackson Chourio, Matt Olson, and Cal Raleigh. Each player's stats against their respective pitchers bolster their potential for hitting home runs today.

Ramirez faces Chris Paddack, who has shown vulnerability to home runs this season, particularly against lefties. Larnach is also positioned well against Tanner Bibee, who struggles against left-handed hitters. Chourio's impressive performance against righties makes him a top DFS pick, while Olson thrives in Coors Field's hitter-friendly environment. Raleigh, with a hot start to the season, faces a weak right-handed pitcher, enhancing his chances to go yard.

Trevor Larnach showcased an impressive performance with a homer, double, and four RBIs, leading the Minnesota Twins to an 11-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Byron Buxton also contributed significantly, hitting a home run and a triple, while adding three RBIs. Mickey Gasper went 2 for 2 with two RBIs. Twins' pitcher Pablo López returned strong after injury, allowing just two runs over five innings. The Angels' Kyle Hendricks struggled, giving up seven runs in less than four innings.

The Twins scored a run in the first without a hit, capitalizing on a series of walks and hit batsmen. After the Angels tied it, Buxton's solo shot in the third put the Twins ahead, and a barrage of runs in the fourth sealed the game. Larnach's recent form has seen him tally three home runs and eight RBIs over the last four games, making him a key player to watch.

Trevor Larnach's timely go-ahead home run and Byron Buxton's two-out blast propelled the Minnesota Twins to a 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox, showcasing an encouraging offensive performance despite a season-high 13 runners left on base. The Twins displayed their offensive potential with 12 hits and six walks, yet struggled to convert their opportunities into runs. Larnach's third homer in five games came at a crucial moment, putting the Twins ahead after a previous two-run lead was relinquished. Buxton added to the offensive momentum in the seventh with a powerful two-run shot. Despite their record, the Twins have now won four of five against the White Sox this season.

As the MLB season unfolds, fantasy baseball enthusiasts are faced with a packed schedule, particularly the enticing eight-game slate starting at 7 PM ET. Logan Webb ($10,000) and Freddy Peralta ($9,800) headline as the top pitchers, but the preference leans towards Peralta due to Webb's fluctuating strikeout rate and his team's high strikeout percentage.

Eduardo Rodriguez and Andrew Heaney present attractive options at $9,000 and $8,100 respectively, with Heaney's matchup against a struggling Angels lineup adding to his appeal. For budget-conscious players, Bowden Francis ($7,800) and JP Sears ($7,700) are worth considering, as both have delivered promising early performances. Kumar Rocker is a potential high-risk, high-reward pick at $6,900.

Among hitters, Eugenio Suarez stands out with a remarkable 50% extra-base hit rate and is primed for success against Taj Bradley, a pitcher prone to giving up home runs. The Pirates' duo of Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds could benefit from stacking, particularly against Jack Kochanowicz, who has struggled on the mound. The Twins, despite a slow start, offer value plays like Trevor Larnach ($2,900) against Bryse Wilson.

Stacking options to consider include the Kansas City Royals against German Márquez and the Chicago Cubs against a yet-to-be-determined Dodgers starter. With careful selection, this slate offers opportunities for both established stars and emerging talents.

The 2025 MLB season is underway, offering fantasy baseball enthusiasts a chance to evaluate players based on early performance. Caution is warranted, as the sample sizes are still small. Luis Rengifo of the Los Angeles Angels has shown promise but faces injury concerns and competition from teammate Kyren Paris, who has been impressive in his starts. Matt Wallner of the Minnesota Twins leads off against righties but struggles against left-handers and has high strikeout rates, making him a risky add. Emilio Pagán appears to be the Reds' closer but carries home run risks, while Dennis Santana, recently handed a save opportunity for the Pirates, may not hold the position long-term with David Bednar's eventual return in play. This week’s waiver wire advice will help owners navigate these uncertain waters.
