Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Matt Chapman (+390)

We struck out earlier this week when we selected Matt Chapman to hit a home run but we’re going back to the well with him tonight as the Blue Jays make the short trip from Boston to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates.

The Pirates send veteran lefty Rich Hill to the mound in which Chapman has hit .536 against lefties this season!

He’s hit two of his five home runs in 28 at-bats against lefties with the other three coming in 86 at-bats against righties.

For some reason Chapman has had more success with power on the road this season hitting four home runs in 77 at-bats away from the Rogers Centre compared to just one in 37 at-bats in Toronto.

Hill has allowed four home runs in 15 innings pitched at PNC Park and allows one home run every 15 at-bats to right handed hitters.

Chapman has now gone 14-straight games without a home run but that streak should come to an end very soon. Get Chapman to hit a home run at +390 with other Blue Jays who could hit a home run tonight include Bo Bichette (+540) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+340).

Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Tommy Edman (+680)

We’re rolling with another hitter who has been scorching left-handed pitching this season in Tommy Edman. The Cardinals get the Tigers at Busch Stadium tonight with Detroit sending lefty Matthew Boyd to the mound tonight.

Edman (a Pontiac, MI native) will already have added motivation to make a statement against his hometown team but if you add the fact he hits .462 against lefties this season he makes an even more enticing option to hit a home run tonight.

Three of his five home runs have come off lefties in only 26 at-bats compared to his other two home runs coming in 72 at-bats against right-handed pitching.

Boyd allows one home run to righties once every 20 at-bats and with Edman hitting a home run yesterday, why not make it back-to-back games?

Take Edman to hit a home run tonight at a valuable +680 with other options to consider are Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt who are both listed at +350.
