MLB Today’s Best Bets for June 20: Home Run Picks & Top Player Props

We're back with the best MLB bets for Saturday, June 20! This slate is handing us a couple of pitcher unders I love, plus a longshot home run pick today in the desert. Here are my top MLB picks for all of the action!

Best MLB Bets Today: Player Props for June 20

Colin Rea's under 15.5 outs prop at -117 on DraftKings Sportsbook is my top MLB bet today.

Rea is just not a good big-league pitcher right now, and I'm not even sure he's MLB quality at this point. He owns a 5.35 ERA that's fully supported by a 5.78 expected ERA. The Cubs' starter ranks in just the 6th percentile in barrel rate allowed, with his whiff rate sitting in the 16th percentile according to Baseball Savant.

Toronto, meanwhile, is a brutal draw for a guy like this. The Blue Jays are striking out just 19.1% of the time against right-handed pitching in June, while sitting around league average in weighted runs created plus (wRC+) against righties. A pesky offense that doesn't strike out is going to make Rea work and see a ton of pitches, and he doesn't have the plus stuff to put these guys away.

Best Bet: Colin Rea Under 15.5 Outs DraftKings, -117

MLB Player Props Today: Chris Sale Under 7.5 Strikeouts

Chris Sale under 7.5 strikeouts makes the list of best MLB player props today as the Atlanta Braves host the Milwaukee Brewers at Truist Park.

It feels strange to back an under on one of the game's most premier arms. Sale can pop off for double-digit Ks on any given night. But Milwaukee is a very tough matchup here. The Brewers own the 11th-best strikeout rate against left-handed pitching in baseball this season. They've been smoking hot at the plate in June, ranking fifth in wRC+ and fourth in walk rate against southpaws this month.

There's a real chance the Brewers put a ton of wood on the ball and make things complicated for Sale. He's also recorded just six strikeouts in back-to-back outings now. The one thing that gives me pause is the leash. Sale has thrown over 100 pitches in seven of his last nine starts, so he'll get the volume. I'll roll the dice on this prop.

Best Bet: Chris Sale Under 7.5 Strikeouts DraftKings, -130

Home Run Picks Today: Kody Clemens 

Now, for my MLB home run picks today, we're heading to Chase Field in Arizona, where the Diamondbacks host the Twins with Zac Gallen on the bump.

Chase Field is a nice, controlled indoor hitting environment, and Gallen has been giving up loud contact all year. He ranks in just the 10th percentile in hard-hit rate and the 8th percentile in average exit velocity allowed. Additionally, he's surrendered a .226 expected ISO to left-handed hitters this season. That sets up nicely for Kody Clemens, one of Minnesota's breakout power bats.

Clemens strikes out at a decent clip, sure, but he's posted a .259 ISO against right-handed pitching this season. Nine of his 11 home runs have come against righties, which is good for a .506 slugging mark in the split. I'll take a swing on Clemens to go deep at +366.

Meanwhile, I also like Byron Buxton in this matchup today. The Twins' star has 19 home runs and a .630 slugging against righties this season. Gallen has been no stranger to yielding reverse-splits power throughout his career.

Best Bet: Kody Clemens to Hit a Home Run DraftKings, +366
