Home Run Prop Bet Picks, Predictions for Red Sox at Phillies Monday 7/21/25

Four years ago, you wouldn’t want to touch a Zack Wheeler vs. Walker Buehler matchup from a home run prop betting perspective.

In general, this probably isn’t the game you want to be looking at for home run potential on Monday’s slate. Putting aside the fact that the Pirates have hit the fewest number of long balls in MLB (66) or that Paul Skenes will be taking the mound this evening, PNC Park has been the worst […]
