When the MLB schedule is light as a feather, it's tempting to throw in the towel and hit the snooze button. But then, I think of those guys in the movies who never give up, even when things seem impossible. Today is Monday, the starting line for the workweek, and we're obstinately determined to make it count! Playing smart and playing hard can mean doubling our money before the week even gets underway. So, buckle up, folks, we're taking a swing at some serious cash!
Insights: On average, Brent Rooker hits a home run in approximately 22% of his games, while Pete Alonso connects for a dinger in about 20% of his contests, suggesting that both players carry a strong likelihood of delivering the long ball today.
Between Rooker and Alonso, Rooker's odds are somewhat higher at +340, while Alonso's odds sit at a competitive +370. Given that we only need one player to hit a home run for our bet to pay off, striking a balance between odds and home run rate becomes crucial.
Monday Home Run Parlay Breakdown
Leg #1 - Brent Rooker to Hit a Home Run
Catching a game out West, we'll need to stay up a bit later than usual for this pick, but the payoff could very well be worth it! Every pitcher has their weaknesses, and Joe Ryan might just be vulnerable to Rooker's bat tonight. The man has been racking up barrels against right-handed opposition, posting a considerable 23.5% barrel rate over the previous 30 days. Granted, the wind and weather play a role in keeping these balls in the park, but tonight, they're playing under the lights in a high school field, where who knows how the wind will behave!

Leg #2 - Pete Alonso to Hit a Home Run
With one leg secure, we now turn our attention to our second pick. If there's anyone who's been crushing the ball lately, it's certainly Pete Alonso. With a penchant for dispatching the long ball, let's ride his hot streak tonight! Up against Dodgers pitcher Dustin May, Pete's odds to go yard look appealing. Admittedly, May has shown vulnerabilities in recent weeks, with his barrel rate to righties being less than stellar. Alonso's power will be on full display tonight, and the Mets come to LA with a win in their sights.

- Leveraging the strong home run hitting percentages of Brent Rooker and Pete Alonso, a potential parlay could be constructed by betting on each player to hit a home run.
- In the first leg of the parlay, placement of a bet on Brent Rooker to hit a home run at +340 odds could be considered, as his high barrel rate against right-handed pitchers presents a favorable opportunity.
- To rounds out the parlay, a second bet on Pete Alonso to hit a home run at +370 odds could be made, as he has continuously displayed power in recent games and faces a potentially vulnerable pitcher in Dustin May. Carefully considering the line and the odds for each player, a 2-leg parlay involving these two MLB stars promises an exciting betting experience on the light Monday schedule.
