May 22 Best MLB Home Run Props
Edward Olivares to Hit a Home Run (+830) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BETS ODDS
I can't pass up these odds.
Edward Olivares has smacked a .292 ISO and wOBA of .360 against lefties to begin the season. The right-hander has hit 22.9% of line drives with 45.7% of hard contact and a 14.3% barrel percentage against lefties this season.
Meanwhile, he's in line to face Blake Snell of the Giants. Snell has only struck out 18% of righties this year. He's also allowed a .244 ISO and wOBA of .458 to his first 50 righties this season.
Snell isn't typically the type of pitcher I'll attack in this market. But the numbers match up really well. At +830, I just had to share.
Gavin Sheets to Hit a Home Run (+500) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BETS ODDS
The White Sox will face Chris Bassitt of the Blue Jays. Bassitt is famously terrific against righties but struggles against lefties. It's been a trend for years.
Last year, Bassitt allowed a .240 ISO and wOBA of .363 with the same amount of ground balls induced as fly balls.
This season, he's done about the same. Bassitt has allowed a .250 ISO and wOBA of .407 to his first 99 lefties. He's also added just 18.2% of strikeouts and has allowed 34.3% of fly balls.
He'll take on Gavin Sheets, who is a lefty hitter with a .183 ISO and wOBA of .365 against righties this year. Sheets has only struck out 13.3% of the time against righties and has hit more than 35% of line drives with a 48.5% hard contact rate.
Chicago stinks, but Sheets certainly doesn't stink against righties.
Freddie Freeman to Hit a Home Run (+420) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BETS ODDS
You can pick a Dodger out of a hat and have a good chance at earning a home run.
Ryne Nelson will take the hill for the Diamondbacks. He's a righty who has allowed a .221 ISO and wOBA of .420 to his first 140 batters faced. In addition, He's struck out only 16.4% of batters and has allowed about 31% of line drives.
Of course, Shohei Ohtani is the best option. But at +230 odds, I won't roll with him. We're looking for guys with +300 odds or better for this article, especially since we're picking three hitters to go deep.
Therefore, I'm taking my chances with Freddie Freeman.
This season, Freeman has hit a .241 ISO and wOBA of .450 against righties. He's also struck out under 16% of the time and has hit more fly balls than ground balls against righties this season.
