MLB Player To Hit A Home Run Odds, Picks & Predictions: Saturday (8/12)

Here are our favorite plays for Saturday’s slate.

Saturday’s Best MLB Player to Hit a Home Run Bets

Austin Riley (+280) | Ronald Acuna Jr. (+295) | Matt Olson (+190) – Game 1

The Mets are pitching Denyi Reyes in Game 1 of their doubleheader. Reyes has only made one start this season which came back in May against the Atlanta Braves. Reyes did not make it out of the 2nd inning as he gave up five runs on five hits and allowed two home runs.

We may see a repeat performance this afternoon. The Mets may have to use a longer leash on Reyes this time because they will have to save some arms for game 2, so we may be able to see some fireworks from the Braves lineup early on.

Rafael Devers (+330) & Triston Casas (+390)

Rafael Devers and Triston Casa have the highest ISO on the team against RHP, while Devers (18) and Casas (17) lead the team in HRs against righties.

Tigers starter Matt Manning tends to give up the long ball against excellent left-handed batters, and Devers and Casas are the two best in this Red Sox lineup. Of the 10 HRs Manning has allowed, six have been to lefties.

Among today's starts, Manning has allowed the highest HardHit% and Barrel%. That's a recipe for disaster.
