Altuve has seen Logan Allen three times, and he is 1-3 with a double. 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>Logan Allen has allowed five home runs to righties so far this season. Against right-handed batters, Allen has a 5.14 FIP and a 4.35 xFIP. He allows a ton of medium contact and a solid rate of hard contact when facing righties, and he has a high 15.6% home run to fly ball rate. Allen has been better on the road this year, but Houston plays in a hitter&#8217;s park, so we expect those numbers to regress closer to his numbers at home. <\/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.
