Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Pete Alonso (+250)
We head to the Great American Small Park for our first home run play where the struggling Mets are still trying to get back on track facing the Reds.
Cincinnati sends Luke Weaver to the mound where at home he sports a 9.53 ERA allowing three home runs in 5.2 innings pitched.
This leaves a salivating opportunity for many Mets hitters to hit a home run so why not go with Pete Alonso who only has one home run this May so far.
He had a whopping nine home runs last May so he'll have to start hitting some soon in order to reach that mark again this season.
This will be the Mets and Reds first meeting this season in which Alonso hit .320 with a home run against Cincinnati last season. It's been 26 at-bats since Alonso hit a home run making tonight a good chance for him to hit one out in Cincinnati.
Get Alonso at +250 to hit a home run with other Mets to consider hitting a home run are Dan Vogelbach (+450) and Starling Marie (+500).
Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Austin Riley (+285)
Red Sox starter tonight Nick Pivetta has been giving up home runs at will this season already allowing seven in just 30.2 innings pitched.
This leaves a great opportunity for Braves third baseman Austin Riley to hit a home run out of Truist Park tonight. Riley has two home runs off Pivetta in his career in 12 at-bats and is hitting .281 at home this season compared to just .214 on the road.
He only has one home run in May so far and hit six last season in May so he has some catching up to do. Especially if he wants a shot a sniffing his 38 home run mark he achieved last season.
Speaking of last season, he hit a home run once every 16 at-bats while only hitting one every 22 at-bats so far this season.
Currently it's been 18 since his last home run making tonight a very juicy opportunity for Riley to hit another tonight. Get Riley to hit a home run at +285 with other Braves hitters to consider are Matt Olson (+320) and Marcell Ozuna (+390).
