May 8 Best MLB Home Run Props
Bryce Harper to Hit a Home Run (+350) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Bryce Harper is red-hot at the plate right now.
At 1:00 p.m. ET, he'll face Chris Bassitt of the Blue Jays, who have been smacked around by lefties this year.
Lefties have hit a .277 ISO and wOBA of .470 against Bassitt this season.
Bassitt has also struck out just 16.7% of lefties and has given up 32.7% of line drives to them this season.
He'll take on Harper, who has hit a .218 ISO and wOBA of .393 against righties since last year. Harper has also hit nearly 30% of line drives, 55.3% of hard contact, and a barrel percentage of 15.5% against righties since last season.
Mookie Betts to Hit a Home Run (+340) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Dodgers will take on Ryan Weathers of the Marlins. He's a lefty pitcher who has struggled immensely against righties to begin the year.
Weathers has allowed a .213 ISO and wOBA of .373 against his first 124 righties this season. He's also struck out just 16.9% of righties while allowing over 26% of line drive contact to them.
On the other hand, Mookie Betts has smashed a .324 ISO and wOBA of .446 against lefties since last year. He's also struck out only 11.5% of the time against lefties and has hit 55.9% of hard contact with 39% of fly balls and 29.4% of line drives.
Betts rarely hits ground balls against lefties and typically hits many pitches with hard contact in the air. Against Weathers, there's a lot of potential to get over the wall.
Corbin Carroll to Hit a Home Run (+500) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
We'll know for certain if Corbin Carroll is back after today's game against Graham Ashcraft and the Reds.
Ashcraft is a righty who has allowed lefties to hit a .211 ISO and wOBA of .378 this season. Ashcraft has also struck out just 17.3% of lefties while giving up more than 27% of line drives to them this year.
Carroll is back in the lead-off spot for the Diamondbacks. Since last season, he's hit a .229 ISO and wOBA of .368 against righties. He's made 50% of hard contact, nearly 26% of fly balls, and more than 24% of line drives.
The analytics certainly favor Carroll against Ashcraft.
