Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks

Freddie Freeman (LAD) +520

Sandy Alcantara hasn’t been the pitcher we’ve been used to in year’s past heading into his home start against the Dodgers with a 8.31 ERA with four home runs given up in 26 innings pitched.

His last start actually came against the Dodgers and it was as disastrous as you can think allowing seven earned runs including a home run in 2.2 innings pitched.

We’re going to go with Freddie Freeman to hit a home run who is 5-9 with a home run against Miami already this season and is 9-32 all time against Alcantara in his career.

Alcantara has allowed three of his four home runs to left handed hitters this season in five less at bats while allowing lefties a .479 slugging percentage compared to righties slugging just .377 against him. Freeman is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak which includes home runs on April 30 and May 3.

Freeman is currently slugging .797 on the season against right handed pitching so let’s go with him to hit a home run today in Miami at +520 with other Dodgers hitters to consider for a home run include Shohei Ohtani (+285) and Mookie Betts (+700).

MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Manny Machado (SD) +470

Manny Machado looks to keep his success against left-handed pitchers going tonight as the Padres and Yankees start up a series in New York.

The Yankees send lefty Carlos Rodon to the mound who has allowed six home runs with four of them coming at home in eight less innings pitched than he has on the road this season.

Machado is 5-19 with a home run all time against Rodon with all three of his home runs this season coming against lefties while slugging .649 on the season and slugging just .376 against righties.

Machado has a hit in seven of his last eight games which indulges a .818 slugging percentage during San Diego’s weekend series at Pittsburgh.

Look for Machado to keep his power going tonight in New York with odds to hit a home run at +470. Other Padres batters to look at for a home run include Fernando Tatis Jr. (+440) and Jackson Merrill (+500).
