Castellanos is 4-14 with three home runs off Freeland in his career and hit one home run every 15.6 at bats against lefties last season compared to just one every 34.5 at bats against righties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freeland gave up 22 total home runs last season with 18 of them coming against right handed hitters and 13 of them coming on the road while also allowing opponents to bat .313 in road games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Castellanos has a hit in three of four games this season<\/strong> so we\u2019re going to ride his hot bat and take him at <strong>+500 odds to hit a home run<\/strong> with other Philadelphia hitters to recommend for a home run are <strong>Trea Turner (if healthy) at +460 and Bryce Harper at +400<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Wilyer Abreu (BOS) +630<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Red Sox have lost four straight, Wilyer Abreu has gotten off to a white hot start batting .636 with two home runs as the Red Sox\u00a0 continue their road series in Baltimore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zach Eflin gets the start for Baltimore who gave up a home run in his first start with Abreu going 5-10 with a home run against him in his career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year Abreu had 15 home runs with eight coming on the road and two coming at Camden Yards and it\u2019s worth noting the outfielder hit .333 with two home runs as 12 RBIs last April so he\u2019s no stranger to getting off to a hot start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eflin\u2019s first home run he gave up this season was to lefty Andres Gimenez with Abreu also being a lefty and hit 14 of his 15 home runs off right handed pitching last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He hasn\u2019t started in each of the team\u2019s last two games but we\u2019re <strong>expecting him to be in the lineup tonight with +630 odds to hit a home run<\/strong>.
