In nine at-bats against Guardians&#8217; pitcher Triston McKenzie, Altuve is 5-9 with two home runs and two doubles. His average exit velocity is 94.3 miles per hour, and his average launch angle on these hits is 22.7 degrees. Altuve has hit seven home runs so far this season, and six have come against righties, making this a great home run prop bets to wager on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After struggling to start the season, Triston McKenzie has pitched better recently. However, in a limited sample, he has been much worse on the road this season, with an ERA over ten and a 2.70 HR\/9. McKenzie has yet to allow a home run to a right-handed batter, but he allowed his only home run in 10 innings of work last season to a righty. Based on Altuve&#8217;s history against McKenzie, this is one of the best home run prop bets to make today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_22384\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7BIoQjOPmKw?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"MLB Picks Today: Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond | MLB Predictions for Tuesday, April 30\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7BIoQjOPmKw\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7BIoQjOPmKw\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"MLB Picks Today: Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond | MLB Predictions for Tuesday, April 30\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"MLB Picks Today for Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
