Okay, so let me tell you about my little adventure in trying to predict home runs. It’s not as easy as you might think, but it sure is fun when you get it right!
First off, I started digging into the players. Like, who’s been hitting well lately? I saw this guy, Corey Seagers, from the Rangers – man, he’s been on fire! He smacked 19 home runs. So, I thought, “Alright, Seagers, you’re on my radar.”
Then, I started looking at the matchups. Who’s pitching against who? For example, there was this pitcher, Quintana, who had given up a home run in each of his first two starts. So I looked at the players facing him. Albies seemed like a good bet against this guy, I figured he had a decent shot at going deep.
I also found some other interesting stuff. Like, the Kansas City Royals catcher, Salvador Perez, was gonna face a pitcher he knew well. And Shohei Ohtani from Los Angeles – everyone says he is a safe bet to hit a home run. I jotted those names down too, thinking maybe there’s something there.
- I checked out the Daily Dinger – that’s where I usually get some good tips.
- Also looked at some odds from this DraftKings Sportsbook thing.
- Then I saw that some people were talking about Eugenio Suarez, saying he might hit one out of the park.
I even tried to guess a few based on hunches, you know? Like, I thought, “Hey, why not Julio Rodriguez? He could surprise everyone.”
So, I put all this information together, made my picks, and waited for the games. Some of my predictions were way off – like, not even close! But then, a couple of them actually happened! It’s such a rush when you see a guy you picked actually hit a home run. It’s like, “Yeah, I knew it!” Even if it’s just pure luck, it still feels awesome.
Honestly, it’s a lot of guesswork, but it makes watching the games way more exciting. You’re not just watching anymore, you’re invested. Every pitch, every swing, you’re on the edge of your seat. I’m definitely going to keep doing this. It’s just too much fun not to!
