Each day, we will try and highlight or outline our favorite prop bets of the day over at FTN Network. Take a look at Tuesday’s picks.
Aaron Judge to hit a home run
(+230, PointsBet)
The stars are aligning for Aaron Judge to wallop a long ball Tuesday. The game takes place in Baltimore, and Camden Yards ranks in the top five both in terms of park factor and home run factor on the season. Judge has murdered lefties in his career, to the tune of a .405 wOBA, and given that he’s facing Alexander Wells, who’s logged 1.59 HR/9 allowed this season, it’s hard not betting on a long one.
Gerrit Cole over 8.5 strikeouts
(+138, FanDuel)
This ain’t for the faint of heart after Gerrit Cole left his last start early with a hamstring strain. There’s obviously some risk here. But, the Orioles whiff, and a lot — a 24.5% clip over the last 30 days, to precise. Cole has whiffed eight or more in seven of his last eight full starts, and he already clocked Baltimore for 13 strikeouts once this year.
