Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Kyle Schwarber (+240)
The Phillies roll into Chicago for an interleague series with the White Sox who send Lance Lynn to the mound giving up six home runs in 16 innings pitched so far.
Let take Kyle Schwarber to hit a home run who has hit three of his four home runs on the road this season.
Schwarber has modest success against Lynn in his career going 3-14 but two of those three hits have been home runs. Last season Schwarber had a home run every 12 ABs and currently it's been 11 at-bats since his last home run.
He's bumped his average up from .188 to .230 over the past four days so he's starting to see the ball better as well.
Get Schwarber to hit a home run at +240 with more valuable options including Trea Turner (+500) and Alec Bohm (+700).
Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Kris Bryant (+250)
Pirates starter Rich Hill has already given up six home runs in three starts this season and he pitches in Coors Field tonight which won't make it easier for him to limit home runs given up.
Let’s go with veteran Kris Bryant to hit his second home run of the season as he had success against left-handed pitching in his limited games last season.
In 66 ABs against lefties, Bryant hit three of his five home runs while hitting .333 compared to 94 ABs against righties with two home runs and hitting .287.
Bryant has been hindered by injuries for much of the past two seasons but hasn't had that problem this season just yet.
The Rockies have lost 4-straight as well and will be looking to get the bats going after scoring just 11 runs in those four games. Get Bryant to hit a home run at +250 with other Rockies hitters to consider are C.J. Cron (+250) and Elias Diaz (+430).
