Daily Dinger: Best Home Run Prop Bet Picks Today (Jose Abreu has Fantastic Pitching Matchup in Dylan Bundy)
We didn't hit a dinger prop yesterday, but to be fair, we only had one eligible batter. Peter's pick of Aaron Judge, ended up sitting for a day of rest so all of our hopes and dreams were on the shoulders of Brandon Belt, who failed to deliver for us.
Myself and Peter are back for another try at hitting a home run prop. This time, it's for Independence Day, so the pressure is on.
Odds listed below are consensus.
Best Home Run Picks Today
- Yordan Alvarez - Houston Astros (+255)
- Jose Abreu - Chicago White Sox (+250)
Yordan Alvarez - Houston Astros (+255)
Yordan Alvarez and the Houston Astros have a solid matchup on Monday, as they are facing Kansas City Royals righty Jonathan Heasley. Heasley has struggled in 2022, posting a 5.20 ERA over nine starts and allowing eight homers. He’s also allowed a long ball in six of his last seven starts.
Alvarez has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball, and he’s one of the best against right-handed pitching. I think he’s a great bet to go deep on Monday. -- Peter Dewey
Jose Abreu - Chicago White Sox (+250)
If you follow me on Twitter and read my articles, you should know by now that I love to fade Dylan Bundy. We have another chance to do that tonight as he takes the mound to face the Chicago White Sox.
The best time to fade him is when he's on the road. He sports an abysmal 6.41 ERA away from home this season, and I don't expect that to get any better today.
Pick whoever you want on the White Sox to go yard today, and it's likely a solid bet. I'm going to go with Jose Abreu, who has already racked up nine home runs on the year. I'll wager on him getting his 10th today.
