Cody Bellinger came through for us again last night!
Bellinger (+420) ripped a home run over the right field fence in Citi Field and gave us some profit with our home run props last night.
Let's carry that momentum into tonight.
August 9 Best MLB Home Run Props
Matt Olson to Hit a Home Run (+265) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Olson didn't come through for us yesterday. But I'm sticking with him again tonight. He's hit a .435 ISO and wOBA of .484 over the last month against righties.
He'll face rookie right-hander Quinn Priester of the Pirates. Priester has allowed a .333 ISO and wOBA of .465 to his first 52 lefties in the big leagues. He's also struck out only 17.3% of lefties and has allowed over 26% of fly balls and line drives against other lefties in the last month.
Olson's hit the most home runs in the National League. Hopefully, he adds to that tally tonight.
Yordan Alvarez to Hit a Home Run (+310) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Jack Flaherty has still allowed a .367 ISO and wOBA of .457 to his last 54 lefties. He's also earned under 15% of strikeouts against lefties in the previous month and has earned under 18% of strikeouts against lefties this season.
Flaherty has also allowed a 36.6% line drive rate and has given up nearly 27% of fly balls when the ball is put into play.
He'll face two lefties in the Astros lineup that are dangerous. Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker are the two bats to watch out for. Alvarez has slugged a .458 ISO and wOBA of .496 against his last 26 righties. He's also struck out 7.7% of the time against righties in that span.
If you don't love Alvarez's odds, Tucker is at +460. He hit a grand slam last night and is red-hot as well. Tucker has hit a .244 ISO and wOBA of .408 against his last 53 righties and has only struck out 11.3% of the time in that span.
Gunnar Henderson to Hit a Home Run (+400) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Let's stay in that Orioles-Astros game.
Gunnar Henderson has hit a .351 ISO and wOBA of .391 against his last 63 righties.
He'll face Christian Javier, who has allowed a .217 ISO and wOBA of .363 against 259 lefties this season. Javier has allowed a higher rate of extra-base hits against lefties in the last month, allowing a .293 ISO and wOBA of .348 to his previous 48 lefties.
Javier rarely earns ground balls and has allowed nearly 68% of fly balls. Henderson has limited strikeouts to 19% against righties and should put some hard, line-drive contact in play and hopefully over the wall.
