Koby's best MLB player prop bets for today (4/23/2026). Bet his home run props (HR props) and win money betting on MLB player props, including Kyle Schwarber, Ramon Laureano, and more.
Welcome Back, RotoBallers! Mr. Thunder Dan himself has been on an absolute heater lately, and hopefully, I can keep the heater going. Yesterday, he hit on Drake Baldwin against a streaky Zack Littell. We have a solid nine-game slate ahead of us. Thursday is normally a day off for a lot of teams, so it's always good to see more teams play on Thursday, giving us more options to choose from.
I have five players, including one longshot bet for today! We usually only need to hit one HR prop to break even on the night, so any night that we can cash multiple bets is going to be a winning night. Let's dive in and cash some homers!
Below, you'll read about my favorite home run props from MLB games on Thursday, April 23, 2026. All odds are based on what was available at the time of publishing, so make sure to shop around and see if you can find better odds on other books throughout the day. Now let's get to the picks, already!
MLB Prop Bets - Today's Home Run Prop Picks (4/23/2026)
Kyle Schwarber OVER 0.5 Home Runs (+275 HardRock)
I really don't like taking some of the big names because the odds are usually sub-300, and for a home run, it just never feels like enough. That being said, this slate is smaller, which means fewer options to choose from. Plus, I don't want to get too cute, I want to see y'all win!
Schwarber finds himself in an interesting spot here against Edward Cabrera, who has yet to give up a home run this season. His stats against lefties have been a bit concerning; he has posted a 21.1% Barrel% and 40% HardHit% this season. He is also striking out lefties at a 7.8% rate, which is terribly low.
Schwarber already has seven homers on the season, six of which have come against RHP. The wind is also looking like it'll be blowing out to center field with 11+ mph gusts. Schwarber is sitting on some pretty nice stats against righties this season with an absurd SLG of .732, an ISO of .488, a Barrel% of 25%, and a HardHit% of 58.3%.
Schwarber has been pretty much either strikeout or homer so far this season, but with how Cabrera has struggled to K lefties this season, I like the edge we get on the homer.
Ramon Laureano OVER 0.5 Home Runs (+400 Bet365)
I debated back and forth here between Ramon Laureano and Fernando Tatis Jr. I ultimately went with Laureano because, unlike Tatis, Laureano has been able to get them over the fence despite the difference in Barrel% and HardHit%. I'd say the biggest difference is the FlyBall%: Laureano has had a nearly 7% higher FB% than Tatis. Which could be the big reason why Laureano has four homers already this season against RHP.
He is going up against Ryan Feltner, who has struggled with giving up the long ball this season. He has five already, with three of them coming against RHH. The righties have smoked Feltner for an SLG of .683, an ISO of .342, a 20% Barrel%, and a 51.4% HardHit%.
Laureano has some solid reverse splits this season; he has 17 of his 21 hits against righties, with all four of his homers. He has an SLG of .516, an ISO of .250, a Barrel% of 15.6%, and a HardHit% of 55.6%. Oh, and did I mention he just hit one off of Feltner less than two weeks ago?

At the moment, the weather conditions aren't quite ideal with winds blowing in, but that could change. Feltner has struggled quite a bit, and I'm expecting to see a few guys hit some homers off of him.
