  • There is another absolutely loaded MLB slate waiting for us on Wednesday, June 4
  • The only thing left to do at this point is throw out a few dinger bets and watch the cash roll in
  • See below for my +1980 home run parlay today

We were on the cusp of greatness last night when Max Muncy hit an absolute bomb in the first inning. At that point, all we needed was a Byron Buxton moonshot for us to be rolling in the cash. We didn’t get it but damn it, we felt alive. And sometimes, feeling alive is more important than rolling in cash. Not often, but sometimes. Muncy actually hit two nukes last night, so we’re right there. Our guys are showing up for us, which is what we like to see. If I were in charge, Max would be able to give one of his nukes to Byron since he didn’t even need the second one, but I’m not in charge, so that’s not how it works. Still, we need to keep our feet on the gas today. We have the books right where we want them. Feels necessary.

Please remember to play both legs straight for a 1/4 unit as well as a 1/4 unit two-leg parlay. Even if only one of these guys hit, we profit.

Wednesday HR Parlay Leg #1 – Austin Wells to Hit a Home Run

We’re starting early tonight, so we need to lock this in immediately. It comes with a little warning, though. Everybody and their brother are going to tell you it’s Ben Rice when you tell them you bet Austin Wells. Here’s the thing: it’s probably Ben Rice, too, but with the price we’re getting on Wells, it’s just a smarter move to go with him. More is better. I checked.

Plus, when you look at what Wells does to four-seam fastballs, it’s obvious he’s putting one on the moon tonight.

Four-seam Fastball20%71%

Pitcher matters in this game we play, and we’ve got a good one tonight in Cleveland’s Luis Ortiz. While he locks in to righties, he’s got a barrel problem to lefties. We’re talking about a 21% barrel rate to left-handed hitters over the last 30 days. That’s bananas. It’s the four-seamer that gets ragdolled, and by the time Wells hits, Ortiz will forget what he’s even out there to do. This is a sneak attack. Feels right.

Wednesday HR Parlay Leg #2 – Brent Rooker to Hit a Home Run

The late slate is where we’ll find our kill shot with Brent Rooker. We’ll be sitting awhile since Wells will likely hit his dinger on the first pitch of his first at-bat so we’ll need to find something to do. I’m sure we’ll be able to find something, though, so I’m not worried. We’re resourceful.

Another reason I’m not worried is because Brent is going to see Minnesota’s Zebby Matthews tonight.

PitchRooker Barrel Rate vs RHP (L30 Days)Matthews Hard-Hit Rate vs RHB (2025)
Four-seam Fastball21%75%
Slider14%67%

I want to be on the record as saying “I’m a Zebby guy”. Always have been. In fact, we might even be looking at his strikeout prop if we want to get loose late-night. Still, one fact remains: he’s a dinger guy. Like big time. He’s not afraid to challenge anyone, which is cool, but that strategy won’t work tonight against Rooker. If Brent sees even one four-seamer, he’s going to hit a car in the parking lot. I hope they have Allstate because they might not be covered if they have some cut-rate provider. Feels easy.
