All odds as of May 14th.
Prop #1: Giancarlo Stanton 2+ Hits, Home Run
The first prop to target is two or more hits for Yankees’ DH Giancarlo Stanton. One of New York’s premier sluggers has posted six multi-hit games in the past two and a half weeks, and has crushed Baltimore starter Dean Kremer this season.
Giancarlo Stanton has homered in three straight games, 8 times in his last 17 games and 15 times in his last 34 games dating back to last postseason. That’s a 71-homer pace over 162 games. https://t.co/gJDwOHQyTL

Stanton is 3-for-5 versus Kremer, while two of Kremer’s worst starts of 2021 have come against New York. He’s allowed 9 runs and 15 hits in just over 7 innings against the Bronx Bombers, and has surrendered at least one home run in all five of his starts.
Picks: Giancarlo Stanton 2+ Hits (+200), Home Run (+210)
Prop #2: Mike Trout 2+ Hits
Mike Trout is in a slump. By his standards anyway. Despite ranking third in the AL in batting average, and first in OPS, he’s gone three straight games without a hit. If you think he’s going to be blanked for a fourth straight outing, you’ve got another thing coming.
“When I’m locked in, I feel like I can hit any pitch at any time.”

Trout’s crushed right-handed pitching this season (.382 avg, 8 HR) and has been phenomenal on the road (.377 avg). Now, he gets a date at hitter friendly Fenway Park, and while a matchup against Nick Pivetta isn’t ideal, there’s no matchup Trout can’t overcome.
Pick: Mike Trout 2+ Hits (+160)
