Speaking of which, before casting your MLB Home Run No-Sweat Bet on Thursday, be sure to take advantage of the promotion by opting-in here.
Standout No-Sweat Home Run Bet Options
One of these three is not like the others:
- Ryan Mountcastle +850 vs. Cleveland
- Bobby Witt Jr. +650 at Detroit
- Aaron Judge +180 at Tampa Bay
Tanner Bibbe hasn’t been particularly effective against right-handed hitters this season, giving up three home runs and a double to them across three starts. All told, they have a 48.3% fly-ball rate against the Cleveland right-hander. Additionally, Bibbee has just an 18.2% strikeout rate against righties to start 2025. Enter Mountcastle, who has a 27.6% line-drive rate to go with his modest 31% fly-ball rate against right-handed pitching. Also worth noting: Mountcastle has just a 10.3% soft-contact rate against righties.
Witt is back in the mix because he’s facing a pitcher who he’s thrived against. Across 13 career plate appearances against Reese Olson, he’s 6-for-11 with four extra-base hits — two being home runs.
Judge, conversely, is 0-for-3 across six plate appearances vs. Taj Bradley. The appeal here is the contact right-handed hitters are producing against Tampa’s starter. Righty bats have just a 21.1% ground-ball rate against Bradley to open the season. Lots of opportunities for Judge to get the ball in the air at a minor league stadium.
No-Sweat Pick
Ryan Mountcastle +850
