Thursday's MLB slate features nine games, offering ample opportunities for fans and bettors alike. Among the various betting options, home run props have caught the attention of many, particularly with insights from Jacob Fetner, a SportsLine data analyst.

Fetner impressed last year, finishing up 50 units on his home run picks, and he has now revealed three standout bets for June 18. Notably, two of his picks from the previous week, Jake Bauers of the Brewers (+453) and Yordan Alvarez of the Astros (+340), both hit home runs, showcasing his predictive prowess. Over the last few weeks, Fetner has correctly identified several players, including:

• Kerry Carpenter (Tigers, +479)
• Casey Schmitt (Giants, +590)
• Alec Bohm (Phillies, +820)

For Thursday, Byron Buxton of the Twins stands out among Fetner's best bets, alongside:

• Jared Young (Mets, +500)
• Dominic Canzone (Mariners, +475)

Fetner emphasized Buxton's recent form, noting he has hit three home runs in his last five games. He also highlighted Buxton's strong performance against right-handed pitchers, with a .270 average and a .977 OPS this season.

In contrast, Jared Young has a favorable matchup against Aaron Nola of the Phillies, boasting a .762 OPS against right-handed pitching. Fetner pointed out Nola's struggles at home, making Young a promising candidate for a home run.

With potential parlay returns exceeding 130-1, Thursday presents an exciting opportunity for bettors looking to capitalize on these insights. Buxton, Young, and Canzone could provide significant payouts for those ready to place their bets.
