Daily MLB Home Run Prop Bets May 28
We have a couple double headers on our hands today making for even more options to select from to hit a home run! WagerTalk and Sportsmemo content contributor Kyle Kargel provides his home run prop picks and predictions for Saturday, May 28 with odds provided by FanDuel.
Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Kyle Schwarber (+350)
Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker has posted pretty decent home and away splits but his day vs night splits are something to look at.
His ERA in day games is 1.42 in 19 innings pitched opposed to 4.91 in only 11 innings pitched during night games.
Kyle Schwarber has been underwhelming this season hitting the ball with only a .190 average but he does have ten home runs. In his career against Walker Schwarber is 6-15 with five home runs.
His average is worse during night games but he’s hit seven of his ten home runs at night and eight of his ten home runs on the road.
Also out of any ball park this season, he’s hit more home runs in Citi Field than any other park in baseball, which is where the Phillies are playing tonight. Get Schwarber at +350 to hit another home run in Queens tonight!
Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Shohei Ohtani (+295)
Shohei Ohtani has gone hitless in his last four games since hitting a home run back on May 22nd against the Athletics and has seen his average slip under .250 once again this season.
He definitely won’t repeat as AL MVP if his average is this low come end of season. Tonight he faces a familiar foe in Yusei Kikuchi who hails from Japan as well.
Ohtani is 4-12 with two home runs in his MLB career against Kikuchi. I normally wouldn’t suggest a left handed hitter facing a left handed pitcher but Ohtani’s righty vs lefty splits aren’t that different. He bats .242 vs lefties opposed to hitting .250 against righties.
Three of his nine home runs have come in the past 15 days and shockingly for Kikuchi he’s allowed a higher batting average on the season to left handed hitters than right handed hitters.
It could be a stretch, but let’s take the reigning AL MVP to pick things back up tonight after struggling the past few games hitting.
