Oneil Cruz, with his home run, showcased his power-hitting ability, further solidifying his role in the Pirates' lineup as they strive for consistency.

Cruz is leading the MLB in stolen bases with 23 and is favored to steal another base in today's game against the Marlins.

Oneil Cruz has shown immense potential, leading the league in key metrics like average exit velocity and barrel rate. His recent home run was the hardest hit in the Statcast era. Despite a recent slump, odds suggest he could be due for a home run against Sandy Alcantara.

Oneil Cruz's exceptional batted ball metrics, including a staggering 24.3% barrel rate, position him as a prime candidate for home runs today. His matchup against Astros' Ryan Gusto, who has allowed a high wOBA against left-handed hitters, enhances his betting appeal.

Oneil Cruz is in the midst of a breakout season, slugging 12 home runs this year, primarily against right-handed pitchers. His matchup against Randy Vasquez presents a favorable scenario for prop bettors today.
