MLB Home Run Picks for August 2
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Vinnie Pasquantino (+500)” subtext=”at Blue Jays (SP: RHP Max Scherzer)” center=”false” logo1url=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/08/2023-mlb-logo-kansas-city-royals.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/779359_BetMGM800x200@1x.png” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Max Scherzer has been crushed by lefties this season, giving up a 2.8 HR/9 on the year.
The ballpark is a massive upgrade for Vinnie.
Vinnie hasn’t been a big homer hitter this year, but I make the fair odds on this home run prop below +400.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Nick Kurtz (+300)” subtext=”vs. Diamondbacks (SP: RHP Zac Gallen)” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/oakd.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/779359_BetMGM800x200@1x.png” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
The A’s are in a great spot, and their top power bats are priced a bit too highly.
Zac Gallen has been crushed this season by power, giving up a 1.84 HR/9 to righties and a 1.38 HR/9 to lefties.
Sacramento is one of the top ballparks in the league for power, and the weather is great for hitting, with temps around 90 degrees and the wind blowing out at six MPH.
I make the fair odds on this home run prop closer to +250.
