Dylan Wilkerson’s Reds vs Royals Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Kansas City Royals Player Prop: Bobby Homer” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/kcd.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/kansas-city-royals” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
You know what you get with an innings-eater like Reds starting pitcher Nick Martinez. He throws a low-90s fastball and hopes to force soft-contact ground balls.
However, when he forces a sub-25% whiff rate, there’s always the risk of an opposing batter going yard.
Bobby Witt Jr. has a short-but-successful history against Martinez, hitting a double and a homer in four lifetime head-to-head at-bats.
Witt is a great power hitter, and we could see fireworks against an innings-eater.
Pick: Bobby Witt Jr Over 0.5 Home Runs (+525, BetMGM)
