There is a value opportunity on Brandon Nimmo's home runs prop. THE BAT X is projecting 0.20 home runs for him with a 17% chance that he records at least 1 home run. If you can get the over at +670 or better, there is great value here. This play is good down to at least +561. Love THE BAT X?

L.Butler o0.5 HR+760

0.25u

THE BAT X is forecasting 0.18 home runs for Lawrence Butler. Oddsmakers are implying 0.13 home runs, so I believe there is value here. If you take the over, you'd be projected to win 16% of the time resulting in a 37% ROI with expected value of $37.17 (based on a $100 wager). This play is good down to at least +621. Love THE BAT X?
