The weather isn't looking good for nearly half of the league. There were some spots I was super excited about, but I'm going to stay away because rain is in the forecast.
That said, I've added three home run props for games that won't be delayed or postponed due to rain.
April 2 Best MLB Home Run Props
Christian Walker to Hit a Home Run (+460) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Last season, Christian Walker slugged a .303 ISO and wOBA of .385 against 182 righties. He also struck out just 17.6% of the time while hitting 34.4% of line drives and fly balls against lefties.
Tonight, he'll face Nestor Cortes of the Yankees. Cortes already struggled in his season debut and has a 7.20 ERA. However, last year, he was poor against righties before landing on the injury list.
Cortes allowed a .206 ISO and wOBA of .347. He induced only 23.1% of grounders and allowed more than 36% of fly balls. Cortes' strikeout percentage was lower than it was against lefties, and his walks were also higher. The lefty isn't as good against right-handed hitting.
Look for Walker to deliver. He's already got two home runs this season through 20 at-bats.
Tyler O'Neill to Hit a Home Run (+380) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Tyler O'Neill looks great to begin the season.
In 13 at-bats, he's smacked a .385 average with two home runs and an OPS of 1.375.
His success should carry over into tonight's game against Oakland's Alex Wood. Wood faced 308 righties batters last season and allowed a .178 ISO and wOBA of .351. He also struck out just 17.2% of righties and allowed more than 30% of fly balls.
Meanwhile, in Wood's first start this season, he gave up six runs on seven hits in 3.1 innings against the Guardians.
O'Neill hit a .212 ISO and wOBA of .353 against lefties in 79 plate appearances last year. This is a great spot for O'Neill to slug another homer this season.
Jake Cronenworth to Hit a Home Run (+650) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Let's take a chance with Jake Cronenworth tonight.
The left-handed batter hit a .154 ISO and only struck out 16.2% of the time against righties last season. He also kept ground balls down to 36.7% and smacked 31.4% of fly balls and line drives against righties.
Meanwhile, he'll face Miles Mikolas of the Cardinals, who already allowed five earned runs and seven hits in 4.1 innings against the Dodgers. Mikolas faced 409 lefties last season and allowed a .204 ISO and wOBA of .344.
Although Cronenworth only hit ten home runs last season, he's still in a good position to smack one out tonight.
