Righty Spencer Arrighetti makes his first start for the Blue Jays after allowing three earned runs including one home run in 3.1 innings of relief in his first overall appearance against the Yankees last Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has been vulnerable to left handed hitters like Pasquantino this season allowing nine of his 13 total home runs to lefties including a .418 slugging percentage compared to a .299 slugging percentage against right handed hitters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pasquantino has just one at-bat against Arrighetti in his career and it was a double with him also batting .270 and slugging .422 against right handed pitching compared to a .177 average and .260 slugging percentage against lefties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>+520 odds let\u2019s take Pasquantino to hit his home run prop<\/strong> tonight with other Royals batters to consider for home run props being <strong>Jac Caglianone (+370)<\/strong> and <strong>Carter Jensen (+420)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MLB <strong>Home Run Prop<\/strong>s Best Bet of the Day #2: William Contreras (MIL) +430<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lefty Sean Manaea takes the mound for the Mets tonight at home as they host the Brewers after losing 8-1 last night. He has allowed six home runs combined over his last three starts (19.1 IP) as we\u2019ll look for William Contreras to hit his home run prop tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Contreras went 0-5 last night, in the four games before that he went 11-17 and although none of those hits were home runs he still notched three doubles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has just 12 home runs this season, but is three away from 100 for his career batting .286 and slugging .413 against lefties this season compared to batting .262 and slugging .386 against righties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All-time against Manaea, Contreras is 4-11 with a double and a home run with the Mets starter allowing 14 of his 19 home runs on the season to right handed hitters while allowing a .495 slugging percentage compared to a .388 slugging percentage allowed against lefties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s look for <strong>Contreras to hit his home run prop tonight at +430 odds<\/strong> and if you\u2019re looking for other Brewers to take advantage of for home run props consider <strong>Jackson Chourio (+390)<\/strong> and <strong>Andrew Vaughn (+500)<\/strong>.<br><br><\/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_30584\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/legacy.winnersandwhiners.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?
