💣 “Bombs Over Bronx”… and Beyond - Wegs’ HR Prop Detonator for May 6

Ever stare at the HR prop menu, feel the juice burning a hole in your pocket, and still have no idea which swing is worth a sprinkle? Relax—Papa Wegs loaded the model into a warhead. Pull up a seat, pop the safety, and let’s watch some baseballs evaporate.

What the Heck Is a Power Index?

Think of every hitter getting four cracks a night.

1. We start with their raw chance to go yard per plate appearance.

2. Multiply the odds of not homering across four trips.

3. Flip that back into the chance they do leave the yard.

4. Blast the result ×100 so the number looks spicy.

Boom: Power Index = single-game HR probability, expressed as a %-ish score.16.9 ➜ ~17 % chance; 2.5 ➜ 2.5 % chance.And I’ve done the casino math for you—every probability is already converted to American odds so you know if the book is giving a fair shake.

Edge Meter 🔥

• Green Zone ( > 12 %) – Judge, Tork, Ohtani

• Yellow Zone ( 8–12 %) – Carpenter, Raleigh, García

• Red Zone ( < 8 %) – Everyone else; sprinkle only at fat prices

Why Judge Tops the List

Short porch, warm breeze, and a lefty throwing 93 mph into his barrel path.Stat-heads: his 2.03 z-score in exit velo plus 0.41 xISO equals a 1-in-6 shot to park a souvenir tonight. Books still hanging +500? That’s an overlay.

String two of these savages with a big-dog favorite and suddenly you’re staring at a 50-1 lottery ticket—#WildcardCrew style.

Bankroll Tempo Check

Single bomb plays – 0.75 units max on green-zone guys, 0.25 units on yellow.Parlays – Ice-cold 0.10 – 0.15 u. You want a sweat, not a funeral.

Model Mechanics (in plain English)

• Barrel juice: how often the hitter squares one at 98+ mph, 26–30° launch.

• Pitcher gopheritis: arms that leak meatballs get punished.

• Park sauce: Coors, Yankee, and Globe Life turn cans of corn into two-run nukes.

• Roll it all up, run four chances, and convert to odds. That’s literally it.

Degenerate’s Corner

• Torkelson + Carpenter same-game two-pack at Coors pays roughly 25-1.

• Add Judge for the #WildcardCrew Mega Bomb: 120-1. Tiny stake, huge flex.

Responsible Edge

Don’t nuke the bankroll chasing moonshots. Props ride variance waves; missing five in a row is the cost of admission. Need a lifeline? Call 1-800-GAMBLER or hit up ncpgambling.org.
