Grant Neiffer’s Astros vs Rays Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Houston Astros Player Prop: Junior Homer” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/hou.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/houston-astros” link1follow=”false”][/subheader]
We don’t have a big sample size for Houston’s starting pitcher, Colton Gordon, but he seems to be an above-average matchup for right-handed power hitters.
Junior Caminero has eight homers in 43 games behind high hard-contact rates.
Tampa’s ballpark has been one of MLB’s best for power hitters (114 Home Run Factor), and the weather is projected to be great for hitting (mid-80s temps and winds blowing out at around eight MPH).
I make the fair odds on this home run prop under +350.
Pick: Junior Caminero Over 0.5 Home Runs (+375, BetMGM)
