Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks

MLB Home Run Props Best Bet of the Day #1: Jackson Merrill (SD) +300

After getting swept at Tampa Bay over the weekend the Padres will look to bounce back at Cincinnati to take on the Reds tonight. Righty Brady Singer takes the mound tonight allowing 26 home runs in total this season as we’ll look to Jackson Merrill to hit his home run props on Monday.

The Padres outfielder has hit seven of his 22 total home runs this month including one last Friday and has hit 14 of his 22 home runs on the road this season.

Singer has allowed 19 of his 26 home runs to left handed batters like Merrill this season while allowing a .303 average and .501 slugging percentage compared to a .220 average and .382 slugging percentage to right handed batters.

He has allowed four home runs combined across his last three starts (17.2 IP) and has allowed 13 of his 26 home runs at home this season as well.

Merrill has hit 18 of his 22 home runs against right handed pitching so let’s take him at +300 odds to hit his home run props in Cincinnati on Monday. If you’re looking for other Padres hitters for home run props look at Manny Machado (+360) and Sung-Mun Song (+560).

MLB Home Run Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Gunnar Henderson (BAL) +340

The Orioles go from one hitter friendly environment park to another as they travel from Sacramento to Colorado to start up a three-game series tonight against the Rockies.

Gunnar Henderson is coming off arguably his best game of the season yesterday going 4-4 with a triple and two home runs in Baltimore’s 8-5 win over the Athletics as we’ll look for him to cash his home run props tonight.

Righty Tanner Gordon takes the mound for Colorado with some notable home/road splits to say the least. He has allowed 17 home runs in total this season with 14 of those coming at home while sporting a 7.89 ERA compared to a 2.68 ERA when pitching on the road.

He has allowed 12 of his 17 home runs to left handed batters like Henderson to go along with a .571 slugging percentage against him as well. For what it’s worth Henderson has been a slightly better hitter on the road than at home batting .234 and slugging .431 with 11 of his 22 total home runs compared to a .213 average and .384 slugging percentage at home.

Gordon has allowed a home run in two straight games so let’s take Henderson to hit his home run props at +340 tonight. Other Orioles to consider for home run props includes Christian Encarnacion-Strand (+265) and Colton Cowser (+420).
