Daily MLB Home Run Prop Predictions
The bats may have finally come alive in the MLB as we had seven games with the total score ending up at 10 or more including three games with 20+ runs scored last night! Sportsmemo content contributor Kyle Kargel provides his home run prop predictions and picks for Saturday, May 14 with odds provided by FanDuel.
Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Teoscar Hernandez (+385)
Ryan Yarbrough is the scheduled starter for the Rays today which should make Teoscar Hernandez smile. The Blue Jays outfielder is 8-27 against Yarbrough and four of those eight hits have been home runs.
Yarbrough sports a high 6.14 ERA but he’s only made two starts thus far. Hernandez has definitely been under producing for the Blue Jays hitting only .211 and one home run which came in the first game of the season.
He was out three weeks with an injury and has been slow to get it going since his return going only 2-19 since. As you know I like to look at bounce back spots with hitters facing a pitcher they have success against and Hernandez in this spot is no different.
Home Run Prop Prediction 2: C.J. Cron (+270)
The Royals and Rockies played to a football score of 14-10 last night with Kansas City coming out on top. The Rockies will be looking forward to bringing the bats back out tonight with the Royals sending Carlos Hernandez to the mound sporting a 7.15 ERA this season.
C.J. Cron leads the team with nine home runs this season but hasn’t hit one in his past 10 games started. His home/road splits are something to note here hitting .394 with seven of his nine home runs coming at home.
With another potential offensive explosion on-deck for today, I think a Cron home run could be a part of that, especially at Coors Field.
