Albert Pujols 700 Home Runs Odds Breakdown
The sportsbooks don't like the chances for Albert Pujols to reach 700 home runs. He's given just a 10% chance to his seven more homers over the rest of the season. The Cardinals have just 35 games left so it's gonna be a quick sprint to the finish if Pujols wants to clear that number.
When looking at Pujols' splits, he's been on fire over the past two weeks. His OPS is 1.516 over that span and he has six homers in 12 games. He's going to need a hot finish like that for him to reach the 700 mark.
Against lefties this year, Pujols has thrived hitting .389 with 10 homers and an OPS of 1.216. Righties have been a massively different story though as he is hitting just .192 and has a .617 OPS.
Ride him out there against every lefty and hope he has a September to remember. Pujols is a legend, one of the best right-handed hitters of this generation. It would be unreal to see him hit 700.
Pujols is currently just three homers shy of catching Alex Rodriguez.
