Friday’s Best MLB Home Run Props & Picks: Mets vs. Rockies
(Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook)
Pete Alonso (+240)
Pete Alonso has been one of the league's top home run hitters ever since he entered the league. Well, his 2025 campaign is following a similar tune. The New York Mets slugger has 15 home runs so far this season, and he's on a power surge lately.
Alonso has smacked four homers over his last five games, including two on Wednesday and another on Thursday against the Dodgers. He's also hit six home runs over his past 11 games. Let's keep riding the hot bat with Alonso in another favorable matchup on Friday.
The Mets begin a series against the Colorado Rockies in hitter-friendly Coors Field tonight. That fact alone should put Alonso and other New York hitters on our radar. Plus, gascan Antonio Senzatela is on the mound for the Rockies.
Senzatela has an ugly 7.14 ERA and 1.98 WHIP this season. He's coughed up four or more runs and seven or more hits in seven straight starts with an 8.82 ERA in this stretch. He also just allowed seven runs and two homers to the Mets in his latest outing.
The Colorado right-hander has given up 11 home runs across his 12 starts so far this year. He's allowing a ton of hard contact with a 47.4% hard-hit rate (11th percentile) and 10.8% barrel rate (19th). Plus, his .592 xSLG allowed is in the bottom 2% of MLB starters. Facing Senzatela in Coors Field is a hitter's dream right now.
As for Alonso, he's hammering right-handed pitching this season. The Mets first baseman is hitting .307 with a .597 slugging percentage and a .993 OPS against righties. Plus, 12 of his 15 homers this year have come in the split.
Alonso has also crushed at Coors Field with a .377 batting average, a .754 slugging rate and a 1.178 OPS in his career at the park. He's hit six home runs in 15 career games at Coors Field as well. Meanwhile, Senzatela has allowed a .341 batting average, a .585 slugging rate and a .966 OPS to righty hitters this season. He's also given up eight of his 11 homers in the split.
If you need any more convincing, Alonso has been successful in this head-to-head matchup in the past. He's 5-for-14 (.357) in his career against Senzatela. None of those hits were home runs, but tonight might change that.
