August 9 Best MLB Home Run Props
Gleyber Torres to Hit a Home Run (+560) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
In the lead-off spot, against his last 19 lefties, Gleyber Torres has slugged a .467 ISO and wOBA of .527. He's also hit 50% of fly balls and 40% of line drives with no ground balls and a 20% barrel percentage against lefties.
So, with a matchup against lefty Cody Bradford, it's ideal to back Torres to hit a home run.
Bradford has allowed a .692 ISO and wOBA of .631 to his last 15 righties. He's also allowed 70% of hard contact to his last 15 righties and has given up 50% of fly balls in that span.
In this matchup, Torres has the potential to launch one.
Austin Riley to Hit a Home Run (+310) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Braves third baseman has smashed a .241 ISO and wOBA of .370 against his last 85 righties.
Austin Riley has also hit 36.8% of line drives and 29.8% of fly balls, with only 24.6% of ground balls against righties over the last month. Beyond that, Riley has nailed 70.2% of hard contact against righties and has added a 15.8% barrel percentage.
He'll go up against Tanner Gordon of the Rockies in Coors Field. Gordon has given up a .471 ISO and wOBA of .537 to his last 36 righties as a right-handed pitcher. He's also allowed 33.3% of fly balls and has added just 19.4% of strikeouts.
Riley is in a really good position to knock one over the wall.
Andy Ibanez to Hit a Home Run (+700) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
The Giants will send out Robbie Ray. So far, the lefty has added a tremendous amount of strikeouts. But when he's not fooling hitters, he's getting into trouble.
Ray, a lefty, has allowed a .273 ISO and wOBA of .330 to his first 51 righties this season. He's also allowed 34.6% of fly balls and has only induced 34.6% of fly balls.
Meanwhile, he'll face Andy Ibanez of the Tigers, who has only struck out 10.5% of the time against lefties over the last 30 days. Ibanez has also hit a .412 ISO and wOBA of .407 against his last 19 lefties.
Furthermore, Ibanez has launched 60% of fly balls and has limited ground balls to 20% against lefties.
Ray either fools you or gets beat badly. If Ibanez can limit strikeouts, he can connect and put one over the fence.
