Buxton is batting .263 against righties on the season, and six of his nine home runs have come against right-handed pitching. He has a 118 wCR+, a .336 BABIP, and a .193 ISO against righties. Given these splits and the fact he is facing a righty, this is one of the best home run prop bets on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buxton is 7-9 in his career against Chris Flexen with two home runs and three doubles, and we expect Buxton to get the best of him. Flexen has allowed 15 home runs this season, and five have come against right-handed batters. Buxton&#8217;s success against Flexen and the White Sox&#8217;s poor bullpen makes this one of the best home run prop bets 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_13477\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YcDNNBsqFBY?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 and Best Bets for Friday, July 5, 2024\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/YcDNNBsqFBY\/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\/YcDNNBsqFBY\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"MLB Picks Today: Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond | MLB Predictions and Best Bets for Friday, July 5, 2024\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\u26be\ufe0f MLB Picks Today for Friday, July 5, 2024: Get MLB best bets, predictions, picks, and daily baseball betting tips from expert handicapper Drew Martin on Drew&#039;s Daily Diamond!
