We didn't hit a home run yesterday. Seiya Suzuki hit a triple instead of a home run, while Ronald Acuna was the righty on the Braves that did damage, not Marcell Ozuna.
But we have three more home run props for tonight's slate. Let's get right to it!
September 8 Best MLB Home Run Props
Manny Machado to Hit a Home Run (+450) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Manny Machado has hit a .244 ISO and wOBA of .387 against his last 93 righties. That's a solid sample size over the previous month against righties.
He's struck out 16.1% of the time and has hit over 25% of line drives and fly balls against righties in the last month.
He'll face Hunter Brown of the Astros tonight. The rookie right-hander has allowed a .395 ISO and wOBA of .507 to his last 49 righties. He's given up 53.3% of hard contact to righties and isn't earning a high CSwhiff percentage against righties.
Let's take a chance on Machado to hit a long ball tonight.
Pete Alonso to Hit a Home Run (+420) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Pete Alonso against the soft-tossing lefty?
Yes, please.
Alonso has smacked a .538 ISO and wOBA of .469 against his last 19 lefties. He's also hit 50% of fly balls and line drives against righties while hitting a 37.5% barrel percentage.
He'll face Dallas Keuchel of the Twins, who have watched his last 51 righties hit a .222 ISO and wOBA of .390.
Keuchel has only struck out 11.8% of righties in the last month. He has allowed 27.5% of line drives and fly balls to righties in the previous 30 days.
Keuchel won't fool Alonso. Let's ride Alonso to hit another bomb tonight.
Eduardo Escobar to Hit a Home Run (+560) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
The Angels are in shambles. But they have one batter that looks to have a great matchup tonight.
That's Eduardo Escobar.
Escobar has a .308 ISO and wOBA of .396 against his last 13 lefties.
He'll likely bat fifth in the lineup for the Angels, who will take on Logan Allen of the Cleveland Guardians. Allen is a lefty pitcher, giving up a .205 ISO and wOBA of .360 to his last 93 righties.
This season. Allen has watched righties hit a .174 ISO and wOBA of .337. He's been bad against righties throughout the year.
Although Escobar is a switch-hitter, he'll bat from the right side against the lefty. He's hit over 37% of fly balls and line drives against lefties in the last 30 days. Take him to hit one out of the yard tonight.
