MLB Betting 8/8/23 - HR Predictor

Welcome in to a new article for 2023...the HR Predictor! This will be a daily article, where I use my own research to highlight a few names I think are in a great position to hit a homerun on each days slate! These are low unit bets -- between 0.1 and 0.3 units -- with typically high-odds and we will only need to hit one or two a week to make some money! If you're interested in all of my MLB betting and prop picks, plus access to our PrizePicks Predictor, you can sign-up by clicking HERE. With that being said, let's dive in...

UPDATED HR RECORD: 24-69 +$620.00

Note: This unit scale is $100 = 1 unit.

James Outman +500 (0.2u)

I really wanted to write up Mookie Betts here, but can't stomach a +285 price on a HR. So, for Dinger Tuesday, I'll settle with his teammate James Outman. Brandon Pfaadt is one of the better pitching prospects in baseball, but has allowed a ton of homeruns during his first few big league starts. His fastball isn't overpowering and he throws it a lot, which leads to a high number of longballs. We know that Outman has huge pop, but he also owns over a .200 ISO against fastballs. He's the one guy on this team other than Mookie that has been dialed in recently - with a 17% barrel rate over the last 11 games. I think there is value on all Dodgers players tonight.
