Can Nick Kurtz hit a bomb for the third straight game? I don’t know, but he’s seeing the ball well and has a better shot than these odds imply.
Kurtz has hit three homers in the past two games — he’s becoming one of the league’s best power prospects.
Unfortunately for him, it’s a lefty-on-lefty matchup against Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson. However, Anderson boasts reverse splits and has struggled against lefty power hitters.
The ballpark is among MLB’s best for home runs, and we’re projecting solid hitting weather with temperatures in the mid-80s and wind blowing out.
I make the fair odds on this home run prop closer to +450.
Pick: Nick Kurtz Over 0.5 Home Runs (+550)
