Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Giancarlo Stanton Game 2 (TBD)

There’s one thing we know for sure in the Yankees vs Astros Game 2 of their double header and that’s Houston starter Luis Garcia has yielded 15 home runs so far this season with 10 of them coming at home in 44.2 innings.

That comes with a 5.04 home ERA as well. We’re rolling with All-Star Game MVP Giancarlo Stanton to launch a home run out of Minute Maid Park.

Stanton is 1-4 against Garcia in his career with the one hit being a home run. Stanton on the season against Houston so far is 5-19 with three of those hits being home runs as well.

With such a short night slate it’s a safe play to roll with Stanton but if you want another solid play, consider Anthony Rizzo who has a home run off Garcia earlier this season.

Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Ramon Laureano Game 2 (TBD)

Ramon Laureano got a late start to the season after coming back from his 80-game PED suspension but it looks like he’s shaping into form with five home runs already this month including one the game before the all-star break.

He has nine home runs total and has hit .255 at home so far this season. The Tigers are sending rookie Garrett Hill to the mound for the second game of this double header in which he’s given up seven earned runs in 11 innings total this season including a home run given up in each start.

He hit 14 home runs last season in 88 games and hit 24 home runs back in 2019 in 123 games so we know he has the capability to hit a home run out of the formerly known Oakland Coliseum but keep an eye out for odds as this pick is for the second game of their double header.
