Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks
Gleyber Torres (DET) +560
Are the Tigers currently the best team in the MLB? Records would indicate they’re certainly close if they aren’t now tied with the Dodgers for the best record in the league heading into tonight after their double header sweet yesterday at Colorado, outscoring the Rockies 21-3.
They’ll now return home to host a struggling Texas team who sends lefty Patrick Corbin to the mound. Now, we’re aware Comerica Park isn’t ideal for home run hitters, but we see value in Gleyber Torres to hit a home run tonight.
Torres is 4-11 with two home runs all-time against Corbin and has had ample success against lefties in general.
Last season he hit a home run once every 21 at bats against left handed pitchers and just one every 55 at bats against righties.
That success against lefties has rolled over to this season, batting .400 with a .800 slugging percentage against lefties compared to just a .243 average and .314 slugging percentage against righties.
Corbin has allowed three home runs combined across his last three starts to let’s look for him to allow a fourth in four starts with Torres to hit a home run at +560 odds.
Other Tigers hitters who can potentially hit a home run includes Spencer Torkelson (+390) and Riley Greene (+630).
MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Trent Grisham (NYY) +300
Osvaldo Bido has allowed six home runs combined across his last three starts as the Athletics welcome the Yankees to Sacramento for a three-game set.
He has allowed five of his seven home runs at home in five less innings pitched than his road starts this season prompting us to go with Trent Grisham to hit a home run who has seen a resurgence in production this season so far.
He already has 10 home runs in 31 games after hitting just nine last season in 76 games. He’s just seven home runs short of his career high 17 home runs he hit in 2022 sporting a .737 slugging percentage against right handed pitchers this season.
Bido has allowed four of his seven home runs to left handed hitters in 58 at bats compared to the other three being hit in 82 at bats against righties.
Grisham has two home runs in his last three games played including last game and already has one instance of hitting home runs in back-to-back games this season.
Take Grisham to hit a home run at +300 odds with other New York hitters who could blast a home run in Sacramento tonight being Aaron Judge (+165) and Austin Wells (+360).
