Reds vs. Blue Jays Homer Prop
Elly De La Cruz
Home Run (+420)
Max Scherzer is getting what is possibly one last start for his career (on short rest).
Scherzer is one of the all-time greats, and I'm sad to see him go, but at this point in his career, he's a gas can for power, allowing above-average power to both sides of the plate.
I have the true odds on Elly around +350.
Pick: Elly De La Cruz Home Run (+420)
Astros vs. Athletics MLB HR Pick
Zack Gelof
Home Run (+525)
Peter Lambert has had reverse splits in his career when it comes to power, allowing a 1.55 HR/9.
While he's been better this season, he's still been an above-average matchup for righty power.
I have the true odds on Gelof around +450.
Pick: Zack Gelof Home Run (+525)
Astros vs. Athletics Home Run Pick
Jeremy Pena
Home Run (+550)
Seth Johnson is getting the start for the Athletics, and he's been an absolute gas can in his career, allowing 1.75 HR/9 to righties, with most of that work coming out of the bullpen.
Johnson may only get 2-3 innings, but the bullpen behind him is one of the worst in the league.
I have the true odds on Pena around +450.
Pick: Jeremy Pena Home Run (+550)
