Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fernando Tatis Jr. (SD) +450<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fernando Tatis Jr. has been struggling mightily in August so far with just two hits in five games as he and the Padres welcome in the Red Sox to Petco Park for a three-game series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He got the day off Wednesday and the team was off yesterday so we\u2019re thinking he had a chance to reset and make adjustments ahead of this weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Padres get a familiar foe taking the mound for the Red Sox in Walker Buehler from his time with the Dodgers with Tatis Jr. going 10-32 with five home runs all-time against him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buehler hasn\u2019t been nearly as good for the Red Sox as he was during most of his time with the Dodgers posting a 7.44 road ERA this season while allowing nine home runs in 42.1 innings pitched away from Fenway Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twelve of his 19 home runs have been given up to right handed hitters while facing left-handed batters 52 more times than right-handed in total this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At home Tatis Jr. has hit 12 of his 17 home runs while slugging .500 compared to slugging just .374 in road games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Tatis Jr. to hit his home run prop tonight with odds listed at +450<\/strong>. Other Padres batters you can look at for a home run prop includes Manny Machado (+420)<\/strong> and Ramon Laureano (+450)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Freddie Freeman (LAD) +285<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re staying in the same state for our second home run prop pick in another interleague matchup between the Blue Jays and Dodgers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veteran Max Scherzer gets the start for Toronto allowing six total home runs combined across his last four starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has allowed nine home runs in total in 41 innings pitched with six of this coming against left handed batters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leads us to take Freddie Freeman to cash his home run prop tonight batting .458 in August so far to go along with a .792 slugging percentage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, Freeman\u2019s power isn\u2019t as great as it has been in years past, but he has hit three of his 13 in the last seven games and although he has just 11 hits in 53 at bats against Scherzer all-time, three of those 11 hits were home runs and four were doubles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Freeman to hit his home run prop tonight with odds listed at +285<\/strong> with other Dodgers to consider for a home run include Max Muncy (+255)<\/strong> and Teoscar Hernandez (+330)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
