Saturday’s Best MLB Home Run Props & Picks
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Tyler Soderstrom (+540)
Tyler Soderstrom has a .311 ISO and a wOBA of .381 against right-handed pitching over the last 30 days. The left-handed power slugger has struck out fewer times than he’s walked against righties in that time and has hit 29.6% of fly balls with 53.7% of hard contact against righties.
Tonight, Soderstrom will battle Shane Baz of the Orioles, who has allowed lefties to hit a .176 ISO and a wOBA of .370 over the last 30 days. Those lefties have struck out just 17.3% of the time and have walked 13.3% of the time.
Soderstrom should be able to get into good hitters’ counts to drive one out of the yard against Baz and the Orioles. Let’s take him to hit a homer today.
Liam Hicks (+630)
At +630 odds, you’ve got to ride it out with Liam Hicks.
The left-handed catcher has slugged a .239 ISO and a wOBA of .403 against right-handed pitching over the last 30 days. He’s also struck out just 8.6% of the time and has added 31.3% of line drives with 49.3% of hard contact against righties.
Hicks tees off against Zack Littell of the Washington Nationals, who has allowed lefties to hit a .528 ISO and a wOBA of .522 over the last 30 days. Littell has given up a 19.6% barrel rate to lefties and has allowed 33.3% of fly balls.
Hicks is the hottest left-handed hitter in the Miami lineup against righties.
Jordan Walker (+360)
Randy Vasquez is set to take center stage for the San Diego Padres. He’s allowed a .308 ISO and a wOBA of .417 to his last 46 right-handed batters. Those righties have hit 32.3% of fly balls and a 22.6% barrel rate against Vasquez in the last 30 days.
Meanwhile, Jordan Walker of the Cardinals is a right-handed slugger who has hit a .312 ISO and a wOBA of .463 against righties in the last month. Walker has hit 29.1% of fly balls, 56.4% of hard contact and a team-best 18.2% barrel rate against righties over the last month.
Give Walker a shot tonight.
