Home Run Prop Picks, Predictions and Odds
With less games than usual on tonight’s slate of MLB action, Sportsmemo content contributor Kyle Kargel provides his home run prop picks and predictions for Monday, May 2 with odds provided by DraftKings.
Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Yander Alvarez (+245)
Yordan Alvarez has six home runs early on in the season and many picked him to lead the Astros in home runs this season. He and the Astros go up against Marco Gonzales and the Mariners tonight at home and Alvarez has some numbers to speak of in this matchup.
He doesn’t have a home run in ten at-bats against Gonzales but he is 4-10 with five RBIs in total. Alvarez has three home runs in his last seven games and up until yesterday’s game, he was on a seven game hitting streak. There’s a decent shot he goes deep again tonight.
Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Kyle Tucker (+310)
With a shorter MLB slate tonight we’re going to roll with Alvarez’s teammate Kyle Tucker who also has good numbers against Gonzales.
Unlike Alvarez, Tucker has a home run under his belt against Gonzales going 4-12 in total. Tucker only has four home runs on the season but two of those have come in the past six games.
He’s currently on a three-game multi-hit streak and his bat in general seems to be heating up improving his overall average from .127 on April 24 to .250 as of today.
