MLB Best Bets – Free (Wednesday 7/24)
Josh Gross
Each day, we will try and highlight or outline our favorite prop bets of the day over at FTN Network. Take a look at Friday’s picks.
Nick Castellanos to hit a home run
(+300, Unibet)
Returning to their friendly home field, can the Reds jump start things to get into the playoff race? With Great American Ballpark clocking in as a top-five park in home run factor and park factor, and Paolo Espino on the mound (2.09 HR/9 allowed), Nick Castellanos and his .556 slugging percentage makes too much sense.
Brandon Belt to hit a home run
(+280, PointsBet)
Look, this game is screaming for some runs. While Brandon Belt curiously just popped the 20-homer mark for the first time in his career, he could be adding to those season long totals here. Facing Peter Lambert, who allowed a .613 slugging percentage to lefties in 2019 (his last big-league appearance), we need some exposure to this matchup in Denver.
