Kyle Schwarber +175 to Extend His Home Run Streak to Three Games

I know the start of a hot streak when I see one.
Kyle Schwarber is 5-for-8 with three home runs and seven RBI in his last two games.
Maybe instead of June being Schwarberfest, this year it shifted to August?
It’s not like Schwarber’s been bad for any long stretch of the season, but he could be on the verge of a week-or-so-long run in which he just explodes against any opposing pitcher in sight.
Tuesday’s matchup against Dean Kremer is ideal. Schwarber gets one more matchup with the Orioles on Wednesday and then he gets to play indoors in Texas and inside a bandbox in Cincinnati as part of the Phillies’ next road trip.
Cal Raleigh’s MLB home run lead, and Shohei Ohtani’s assumed NL MVP, could be in danger if Schwarber gets really, really, really hot at the dish.
Anyway back to Tuesday, Schwarber is +175 to go yard at bet365.
It’s a low price for a home-run hitter, but you have to list him that low given the hot streak, the overall season, and the matchup in play with Kremer, who has allowed 10 home runs to left-handed batters.
bet365 has a $10 Safety Net Bet in play for Tuesday’s MLB action. I would use Schwarber HR, Phillies team total o3.5 and hits from Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos. Harper and Castellanos each had hits Monday night and they are tied with Schwarber for the most hits in the last week on the Phils roster. That SGP pays out at +400.
BetMGM has a MLB Parlay Boost Token available for Tuesday’s MLB slate. I’d take a shot at home runs because of the matchups in play across the board.
Schwarber is the obvious start of that parlay. I’d go Shohei Ohtani against Miles Mikolas, who is really poor on the road, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at Coors Field, and Detroit’s Spencer Torkelson, who is facing Minnesota’s Zebby Matthews and his .318 BA against versus righties.
A Schwarber/Torkelson/Ohtani/Guerrero parlay is +19885 before any boost is applied. It’s worth the shot because of how ideal all four matchups are.
