I have no shame hyping PRO Projections home run picks when the headlines write themselves.
Expert projections cashed +1350 (Nolan Schanuel) and +675 (Jazz Chisholm) home run picks Thursday in back-to-back innings, and then another big ticket Friday in the 9th inning, thanks to Yainer Diaz. The time our MLB experts take to refine and update odds and projections has paid off multiple ways during the second half of the season.
No home run picks stuck out yesterday from a value standpoint. The best MLB home run picks today, after comparing our odds projections to the market, feature three hitters in Athletics vs. Blue Jays and Rangers vs. Yankees. Today's payouts are +450, +750 and +875.
Let's keep the good times rolling, and a friendly reminder to wager responsibly if tailing Sunday's home run picks.
