Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks
Anthony Rizzo has yet to hit a home run this season, but he has the best matchup to go yard he’s had all year. Rizzo has four hits this season and one double. He’s batting just .182, but that is expected for someone who missed most of last season due to injury.
Merrill Kelly, the D-Backs starter tonight, allowed 11 home runs to left-handed batters last season. In 2023, Rizzo hit 11 of his 12 home runs off of righties. He is 1-8 off of Kelly in his career, but his average launch angle in those outs is 19.8, meaning he is getting the ball off the ground in these plate appearances.
