Angels vs. Astros Best Prop Bet

Carlos Correa Home Run (+500) via BetMGM

In today's edition of Daily Dinger, I wrote about why I'm betting on Carlos Correa to hit a home run tonight:

Yuseki Kikuchi gets the start for the Los Angeles Angels tonight, and the former Houston Astro has always struggled with giving up the deep ball. He has allowed 1.5 home runs per nine innings pitched throughout his career, including 1.2 home runs per nine innings pitched with the Angels last season.

Let's bet on Carlos Correa to hit a dinger in the second game of the series tonight. He hit six home runs in 51 games with the Astros last season.

Angels vs. Astros Prediction and Pick

You may not be too familiar with Mike Burrows, but I have high hopes for the Astros' young pitcher. Houston acquired the 26-year-old in a trade this past offseason, and he's coming off a season where he had a 3.04 ERA in 19 starts for the Pirates. What's even more promising is how he looked in Spring Training. The young arm started five games, allowing just three earned runs across 18 innings for an ERA of 1.50.

If he can carry that momentum into his regular-season debut tonight, he's going to lead his new team to a win.
