Sunday’s Best MLB Home Run Props & Picks
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Christian Walker (+360)
Christian Walker has smacked a .236 ISO and a wOBA of .402 against right-handed pitching as a right-handed batter this season. Today, he’ll face Luis Gil of the New York Yankees, who has allowed a .323 ISO and a wOBA of .356 against his first 36 righties as a right-handed pitcher.
This is a terrific spot for a red-hot Christian Walker.
Walker has hit 50.8% of hard contact and a 13.6% barrel percentage. Meanwhile, Gil has given up 55.6% of hard contact and 37% of fly balls to right-handed batters this year.
Let’s give Walker a try at +360.
Tyler Soderstrom (+470)
The Texas Rangers are set to pitch Kumar Rocker today. He’s allowed a .175 ISO and a wOBA of .344 to 48 lefties as a right-handed pitcher this season. Even last year, Rocker allowed a .203 ISO and a wOBA of .392 to 158 lefties. This is a common theme with Rocker.
Meanwhile, Soderstrom has hit a .247 ISO and a wOBA of .368 against righties. He’s barely struck out and has hit nearly 30% of fly balls against righties to begin the year.
Rocker has also allowed 32.3% of fly balls and 77.4% of hard contact, while falling behind in counts pretty regularly against lefties. Give Soderstrom and all the Athletics’ lefties a chance tonight.
Mickey Moniak (Game 2) (Likely +500-600)
I had Mickey Moniak listed yesterday, but the game was postponed. Ultimately, Kodai Senga is scheduled to pitch in the second game of the doubleheader. There are currently no odds for the home run market in Game 2, but continue to check back; odds will eventually start to populate.
Yesterday, Moniak was +590 to hit a home run with Senga on the mound. You’d have to imagine it’ll be close to that.
Moniak has slugged a .456 ISO and a wOBA of .510 with 18% of strikeouts against right-handed pitching this season. The lefty has slugged 38.3% of fly balls and leads the team with a 12.8% barrel percentage against righties this season.
On the other hand, Senga has allowed a .278 ISO and a wOBA of .470 to lefties this season. He has also given up 34.6% of fly balls and continues to fall behind against lefties. Moniak could take advantage and deliver a long ball.
He’s been the most consistent Rockies hitter this season.
