No pun intended, but Opening Day was a hit for PRO MLB home run projections.
Shohei Ohtani (+450), PRO's top pick, went deep. So, too, did Cedric Mullins (+700), and a bunch of others our advanced MLB systems flagged throughout the day.
I'll be personally monitoring home run edges from projections all season; Friday was frankly a dud for home run picks. However, scanning MLB odds Saturday, we're back in business.
A bunch of hitters made the cut Saturday as great bets to hit a home run.
Here's what our data reveals for today's best bets, complete with a projections board below detailing all the biggest edges.
Best Home Run Bets for March 29
Our PRO Projections system integrates a unique blend of proprietary player data, betting odds, and diverse elements to identify optimal picks. As a guideline, if you're placing a bet solely on PRO Projections, aim for an edge of at least 3.5%. Anything above this threshold is strong, while picks falling just below might require additional consideration or personal input.
We also highlight players who are reliable bets to not hit a home run!
Meanwhile, these players were flagged as good bets today.
