Dylan Wilkerson’s Padres vs Braves Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”San Diego Padres Player Prop: Home Run Prop No. 1” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/sd.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/san-diego-padres” link1follow=”false”][/subheader]
During game time, the wind should blow out toward center field at about eight MPH, making the environment relatively hitter-friendly.
Xander Bogaerts is 7-for-23 lifetime against Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale with a home run and a 16-degree average launch angle.
Although Boagerts has yet to tally a homer off a lefty on the year, he is batting .283 against the side, so the process seems sound.
Bogaerts is an excellent long-shot bet to go yard on Friday against the defending NL Cy Young winner.
Pick: Xander Bogaerts Home Run (+900, FanDuel)

I’m betting this based on the matchup.
In 31 lifetime at-bats against Padres starting pitcher Nick Pivetta, Marcell Ozuna has six home runs in eight hits.
Ozuna boasts a 22.9% pulled fly-ball rate, crucial for generating power.
Meanwhile, Pivetta is overperforming (2.86 ERA, 3.57 xERA), and his pulled fly-ball rate allowed has consistently increased throughout his career (20% this season).
Pivetta has avoided runs, but his old pal Ozuna could force looming regression, especially with the projected hitter-friendly weather conditions.
Pick: Marcell Ozuna Home Run (+320, FanDuel)
