Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Mike Trout (+300)
Yankees starter Jhony Brito fell off a cliff during his last start against the Twins going 0.2 innings while allowing seven earned runs including one home run in total.
So, pressure will be on the rookie to bounce back against an Angels team still attempting to prove their critics wrong.
Let's go with Mike Trout to hit a home run in this one who hasn't hit a home run in 33 at-bats when last season he hit one every 11 at-bats. Trout hit five home runs last April in 62 at-bats and he's at 55 so far this April with three.
All analytics lineup for Trout to hit a home run especially when you consider he's a .371 hitter on the road this season in 12 more at-bats compared to at home where he's hitting .174.
Get Trout to hit a home run tonight at +300 with other Angels hitters to consider are Shohei Ohtani (+300) and Hunter Renfroe (+370).
Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Jose Abreu (+450)
It's time to pick on Jose Berrios and his road pitching woes again as he and the Blue Jays play the last of their 3-game series.
Last season Berrios gave up a home run on the road every 4.2 innings pitched en route to a 6.36 ERA away from the Rogers Centre.
This season hasn't fared well for him either with a ballooning 11.17 road ERA in 9.2 innings pitched. Jose Abreu has tons of experience against Berrios from their time battling in the AL Central going 16-55 with three home runs in total.
Abreu has yet to hit a home run in 75 at-bats this season and while he isn't the player who averaged 25-30 home runs years ago, this is still a lengthy stretch.
Last April Abreu had two home runs in 69 at-bats so even though he's struggling, he's still due to hit a home run very soon so, why not tonight?
Get Abreu to hit a home run at +450 with other Astros hitters who could possibly hit a home run are Alex Bregman (+470) and Yordan Alvarez (+300).
