Daily MLB Home Run Prop Picks
With a shorter slate of night games in the MLB we’ll look at a couple players on one specific team who look to bounce back after a dreadful offensive showing last night. Sportsmemo content contributor Kyle Kargel provides his home run prop predictions and picks for Thursday, May 5 with odds provided by FanDuel.
Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Kyle Schwarber (+310)
Kyle Schwarber has a juicy matchup today if you’re looking for a home run prop. He and the Phillies go up against Taijuan Walker and the Mets and Schwarber has gone 5-13 in his career against walker with all five of those hits being home runs.
Yes, Schwarber is only hitting .193 on the season so far but he does have seven home runs including a two home run game against these very Mets four days ago. The Phillies as a team need to turn things around as well having lost three straight. Look for a motivated Schwarber to swing away against Walker at +310.
Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Alec Bohm (+560)
With a shorter MLB slate tonight let’s look at one of Schwarber’s teammates as Walker struggles against multiple Phillies hitters. Alec Bohm is more of a long shot opposed to Schwarber, but he does have some upside and has been consistent since becoming an everyday player a few weeks ago.
In total, he’s 5-12 career against Walker including a home run and only striking out once in those 12 at-bats ensuring us he at least makes solid contact every at-bat. He’s listed at +560 and did go 0-5 against the Rangers last night making this a sneaky bounce back spot for the upstart third baseman.
