May 20 Best MLB Home Run Props
Matt Olson to Hit a Home Run (+320) Click here to see which sportsbook has the bets odds
Can Matt Olson snap out of it?
He's still hit a .152 ISO this season against right-handed pitching. It's nothing spectacular, but he smacked righties with a .351 ISO and wOBA of .449 in 531 plate appearances last year.
I don't see many great options tonight, so I'll test my luck with Olson and hope he returns to form.
Olson and the Braves will face Randy Vasquez of the Padres. He's a righty who has allowed a .348 ISO and wOBA of .611 to his first 25 lefties. He's also struck out only 8% of lefties this season.
If this was Olson of last year, the odds would be +200 for him to hit a homer. So, I'll take my chances with Olson tonight.
Gary Sanchez to Hit a Home Run (+560) Click here to see which sportsbook has the bets odds
Gary Sanchez has hit a .600 IS) and wOBA of .527 against lefties this season. He's also struck out just 18.2% of the time while hitting 75% hard contact and a 25% barrel percentage.
Sanchez is set to face Ryan Weathers of the Marlins. While Weathers has improved throughout the year, he's still allowing a .179 ISO and wOBA of .330 to right-handed hitters. In addition, Weathers has struck out just 15.4% of righties this season.
Sanchez has also hit 56.2% of fly balls against lefties and has limited ground balls to 37.5%. We'll take our chances with Sanchez to go deep tonight.
Nolan Gorman to Hit a Home Run (+430) Click here to see which sportsbook has the bets odds
Dean Kremer will pitch against the St. Louis Cardinals tonight. He's a righty for the Baltimore Orioles, who has allowed a .241 ISO to lefties this season.
Last year, Kremer allowed a .203 ISO to lefties and struck out them out just 20.5% of the time. This year, he's added just 21.6% of strikeouts against lefties.
It's the same trend for Kremer from last season into this season.
Tonight, he'll face Nolan Gorman of the Cardinals, who has slugged a .232 ISO and wOBA of .327 against righties this season. Gorman has struck out 35.8% of the time against righties, but when he connects, it's typically a fly ball or line drive. He's only hit 31.6% of grounders against righties this season and has hit a St. Louis-best 17.5% barrel percentage against righties.
Let's take Gorman to hit a bomb tonight.
