All six of those home runs have come on his current eight-game hitting streak as New York sends lefty Ryan Weathers to the mound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has allowed 16 home runs in total this season and although none have come in his last four starts (17 IP) we think there is some regression to the means tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valdez has been having his way with left handed pitching this season batting .371 and slugging 1.057 which includes six home runs in 35 at-bats against south paws as well. Sure, eight of his 12 home runs have come at home but he\u2019s still slugging .607 during road games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weathers has allowed 10 of his 16 total home runs during home games this season and 13 of 16 home runs to right handed batters. Let\u2019s <strong>take Valdez and his hot bat to hit his home run prop picks tonight at +285 odds<\/strong> with other Pirates batters to look at for a home run includes <strong>Brandon Lowe (+390)<\/strong> and <strong>Henry Davis (+470)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MLB <strong>Home Run Prop<\/strong> Best Bet of the Day #2: Dylan Crews (WSH) +340<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nationals go from one hitter friendly park to another as they make the trip from Sacramento to Colorado to take on the Rockies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dylan Crews blasted his seventh home run of the season yesterday and we\u2019ll look for him to hit his home run prop tonight as the Rockies send lefty Kyle Freeland to the mound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freeland has allowed 16 of his 18 total home runs this season against right handed batters and has given up home runs in back to back starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shockingly just seven of his 18 home runs have been allowed at home by Crews has been doing damage against left handed pitching this season batting .328 and slugging .534 against them compared to a .156 average and .273 slugging percentage against right handed pitching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crews is also a better hitter on the road batting .225 and slugging .404 compared to home games batting .196 and slugging .309. In another favorable batters environment let\u2019s <strong>take Crews to hit a home run at +340 odds<\/strong> with other Nationals hitters to consider for a home run prop includes <strong>Andrew Chaparro (+285)<\/strong> and <strong>Curtis Mead (+350)<\/strong>.<\/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_92128\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;list=PLhz4vN97EdvhLDiG6QgiDH1cA7xReWX6P&#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 data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"\u26be\ufe0f Free MLB Picks Today: Your Guide to Winning MLB Bets!\"  data-facadeoembed=\"playlist?list=PLhz4vN97EdvhLDiG6QgiDH1cA7xReWX6P\"  \/><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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoyed the Home Run Prop Bets?
