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

MLB Home Run Prop Best Bet of the Day #1: Sal Stewart (CIN) +300<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Reds look for their fifth win in their last six days as they host the Athletics once again at the Great American Ballpark. Sal Stewart leads the Reds in both Home Runs and RBIs as we\u2019ll look for him to hit his home run prop tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has two home runs across his last four games played and over the last 15 days he\u2019s hitting .289 to go along with a .556 slugging percentage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lefty Jacob Lopez gets the start for the Athletics allowing 12 home runs in 70 innings this season and has given up 10 of his 12 home runs to right handed batters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the season he has allowed righties to bat .294 to go along with a .502 slugging percentage compared to a .216 average and .324 slugging percentage allowed to righties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stewart has crushed left handed pitching this season batting .293 and slugging .525 compared to right handed pitching batting .243 and slugging .465. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that let\u2019s take Stewart to hit a home run tonight at +300<\/strong> with other Reds hitters to consider for a home run includes Eugenio Suarez (+340)<\/strong> and Tyler Stephenson (+350)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MLB Home Run Prop<\/strong> Best Bet of the Day #2: Bobby Witt Jr. (KC) +350<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. came back after an injury kept him out for roughly a couple weeks last night to go 3-5 with a double and two RBIs as the Royals beat the Twins at home 8-2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019ll get a favorable pitching matchup tonight as veteran Dean Kremer makes his first start for the Twins after spending his first six seasons in Baltimore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kremer has been bad in minimal action this season allowing 12 home runs in just 36 innings pitched while sporting an 8.55 road ERA. He has allowed righties to bat .259 to go along with a .552 slugging percentage with Witt Jr. playing phenomenally at home this season compared to road games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s batting .304 and slugging .518 at Kauffman Stadium compared to a .262 average and .388 slugging percentage on the road. All-time Witt Jr. is 4-14 with a home run off Kremer and it\u2019s worth noting that Witt Jr. also has home runs off of Twins relievers Kody Funderburk and Travis Adams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Witt Jr. at +350 to hit his home run prop<\/strong> tonight and if you\u2019re considering other Royals batters for home runs props look at Jac Caglianone (+350)<\/strong> and Salvador Perez (+430)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
