Friday MLB Parlay Analysis
Red Sox vs. Yankees 7:05PM ET
LEG 1: Rafael Devers 1+ HR (+375) with BetMGM
We've been waiting for this one. Why would we target a home run prop against one of the AL Cy Young frontrunners in Gerrit Cole? And why would we do it when Rafael Devers has a .250 lifetime batting average against Cole and is looking for his first home run in June? Because six of Devers' eight career hits off Cole have been home runs. Yes, you are reading that correctly. Six home runs out of eight hits. That's a rate you simply won't find among hitters vs. pitchers in this league.
Gerrit Cole is a great pitcher, there's no denying that. He does however have a few vulnerabilities: walks and power contact. We won't be getting much benefit from the walks aspect, other than he'll likely try to avoid too many BBs, and that opens the door for a nice hanging slider over the middle. However, for as talented a pitcher as Cole is, he only sits in the middle of the league (around 50%) in home run-relevant metrics like HardHit% and Barrel %. Cole's likely to get at least three trips through the rotation, giving Raffy enough opportunities to tally HR #7.

LEG 2: Manny Machado 1+ HR (+300) with BetMGM
Let's head west to our favorite park for home runs, Coors Field. We're going with Manny Machado of the Padres and here's why. Yes, Manny is looking for his first home run since returning from the IL a week ago, but we love his chances tonight.
Our model gives Machado a massive 34% home run probability in this game, second on his team only to Juan Soto, whose 38% probability (!) landed him in our Home Run Round Robin, which you can find on our Twitter account after 4:00pm today. That's a solid 9% edge over the books' odds, which is great value to seize.
Two things working in our favor tonight: the lofty hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field and the man toeing the rubber for the Rockies, Austin Gomber. It's not an overstatement to say Gomber is one of the worst starters in the league this year (seriously, look), a title a few Rockies' starters are privileged enough to claim. He's allowed 13 dingers this year. The only two starts in which he didn't allow a home run were road starts. He is an automatic home run in Coors Field. Let's cash!
