Yankees-Red Sox best bets: AL Wild Card Game home run props, featuring Giancarlo Stanton and more

The Yankees are in Boston Tuesday evening to face off in opposition to the Red Sox within the 2021 American League Wild Card Game. There’s at all times a excessive stage of intrigue on this recreation and on condition that it is two groups from a heated rivalry makes the stakes appear even greater. 

Talking of stakes, the gorgeous world of playing on sports activities has grown fairly mainstream. As such, we’ll be taking a look at making an attempt to money some enjoyable props all through the postseason. I will be choosing video games and/or over/unders on SportsLine (go subscribe now!), the place I’ve nailed 52 of my final 77 moneyline picks, so positively examine these out as nicely. 

As for the Yankees at Pink Sox on Tuesday evening, let’s seize a couple of props from Caesars. It is all in regards to the longball. 

First residence run is a solo shot -125

There is not any stat right here that absolutely justifies this choose apart from pondering that each pitchers are good. Nathan Eovaldi solely walked 35 hitters in 182 1/3 innings this season whereas Gerrit Cole had a 1.06 WHIP. I think the offenses get up sooner or later, however the pitching ought to be good to perhaps even dominant within the early going. As such, with restricted baserunners, if somebody pops one early, the perfect guess can be that it is a solo shot. 

Over two residence runs +100

The Yankees hit 222 homers this season, which is clearly nicely over one per recreation. The Pink Sox weren’t far behind at 219. Even with the Pink Sox having J.D. Martinez injured, there are energy hitters up and down each batting orders. Fenway Park is barely favorable to hitters with regards to residence runs, however it’s particularly pleasant down the strains. We all know all in regards to the quick porch to the Inexperienced Monster in left area at 310, however it’s additionally solely 302 with a tiny wall down the right-field line. Cole and Eovaldi are each wonderful, however will be gotten to and the bullpens have been a bit leaky. I like not less than three homers on this one. 

And if there’s one man I am gonna journey with to come back by means of with a longball, it is Giancarlo. He is homered 20 occasions in 70 video games for the reason that All-Star break. He hit 10 in 28 video games in September. From Sept. 24-26, the Yankees visited Fenway for the final time within the common season. In that collection, Stanton went 7 for 12 with three homers and 10 RBI. A kind of homers was a three-run blast off Eovaldi. Let’s play it once more.
