Torpedo Bats Take Over MLB - How to Bet on Baseball's Biggest Storyline

Ever since the Yankees mashed nine home runs vs. the Brewers on Saturday, March 29, the "Torpedo Bat" is the talk of MLB betting circles everywhere.

After the Yankees sent the first three pitches of the game out of the yard for home runs, the game broadcast highlighted how Anthony Volpe, among other Yankees, were using a new type of bat - one that shifts the weight to the "sweet spot" of the barrel, all while maintaining regulation specifications. Volpe promptly mashed a home run, kicking off the debate, rage and speculation over the implementation of these new bats.

Even the sportsbooks are getting in on the fun.

They certainly helped our home run model get off to a ripping start - we highlighted the value on multiple Yankees in that game, each of whom clubbed a home run, and our Dimers Pro users made light work of the data.
