May 5 Best MLB Home Run Props
Willson Contreras to Hit a Home Run (+420) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Willson Contreras has hit a .246 ISO and wOBA of .407 against his last 144 lefties. Today, he'll take on Garrett Crochet of the White Sox, who has allowed a .243 ISO and wOBA of .336 to his first 124 righties faced this season.
Crochet has high strikeouts across the board and limited walks. However, He has also given up 33.8% of fly balls to righties and only induced 39% of grounders.
Since last season, Contreras has hit 28.7% of fly balls, 25.5% of line drives, and 54.3% of hard contact against lefties. Let's take a chance with Contreras.
JJ Bleday to Hit a Home Run (+680) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
I saw these odds and had to roll with it.
Sixto Sanchez is back on the mound for the Marlins. However, against his first 23 lefties, Sanchez has allowed a .250 ISO and wOBA of .564. He's also struck out only 8.7% of lefties to begin the season.
On the other hand, he's in line to face JJ Bleday, who has hit a .176 ISO and wOBA of .329 against righties since last season. Bleday has also kept strikeouts down to 21.5% and has hit 30.6% of fly balls with under 40% of ground balls against righties since last year.
Sanchez has earned under 5% of swinging strikes against lefties thus far. Let's take a chance with Belday in the Athletics' No. 3 spot today.
Will Benson to Hit a Home Run (+470) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
It'll be Dean Kremer on the mound for the Orioles. So far this season, Kremer has allowed a .259 ISO and wOBA of .325 to his first 64 lefties. Kremer has only struck out 14.1% of lefties and has allowed more than 30% of fly balls to them.
He'll take on a bunch of powerful lefties. But I'll roll with Will Benson. Benson has hit a .245 ISO and wOBA of .383 against righties since last year. While his strikeout rate is high, Kremer's strikeout rate is low. That's only an advantage for Benson.
Meanwhile, Benson has also hit 29% of fly balls, 31% of line drives, and 51% of hard contact against righties since last year.
Other options against Kremer include Elly De La Cruz and Nick Martini.
