There may be some value on Carson Kelly's home runs prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 0.11 home runs, and oddsmakers are implying 0.08. The model believes there is a 10% chance he records at least 1 home run, so there is value on the over at +1236. This play is good down to at least +995. Love THE BAT X?
