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

Home Run Props Best Bet of the Day #1: Bo Bichette (NYM) +540<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Across the last week Mets third baseman Bo Bichette is batting .500 and slugging .900 as the Mets make the trip from Cincinnati to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll take advantage of Bichette\u2019s hot bat and look for him to cash his home run prop picks tonight as the Phillies send Aaron Nola to the mound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nola has a career ERA of 3.91 but he hasn\u2019t been near that this season sporting a 5.86 ERA while allowing 13 home runs. He has allowed four of those home runs over the last 20 innings pitched and all-time against Nola, Bichette is 4-10 with a double and a home run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, Bichette only has eight home runs on the season but six of those have come over the last month as it looks like Bichette may be finding the power again in his bat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that Bichette is hitting second in the order as the away team so we can ensure at least five at-bats against a Phillies pitching staff that as a whole is tied for the second most home runs given up over the past week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Bichette at valuable +540 odds to hit a home run<\/strong> tonight with other Mets batters to consider for home runs props includes Juan Soto (+235)<\/strong> and Francisco Alvarez (+440)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Run Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Zack Gelof (ATH) +520<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re going to take advantage of another hot bat at valuable odds with Zack Gelof to hit his home run props as the Athletics host the Angels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Athletics third baseman has been raking since the start of June batting .351 while sporting a .702 slugging percentage and has hit a home run now in back-to-back games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A banged up Jose Soriano gets the start for the Angels and although he has allowed just nine home runs in 87 innings pitched this season, three of those have come in the last three starts (15.2 IP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five of his nine home runs allowed have come on the road including two in his last road start and he\u2019s seen his ERA jump by a full run since the start of May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gelof set a career high in home runs of 17 back in 2024 and he looks well on his way to breaking that this season with eight of his 11 home runs coming against right handed pitching and eight of 11 coming at home while batting .321 and slugging .587 there as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Gelof to hit a home run tonight at +520 odds with other Athletics batters with worse odds to consider for home run props includes Shea Langeliers (+270) and Nick Kurtz (+285).<\/p>\n\n\n
