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: Wilyer Abreu (BOS) +390<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Red Sox took care of business last night at home against the Diamondbacks winnings 11-1 with Wilyer Abreu going 2-4 with two RBIs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll look for him to cash his home run prop tonight already scorching this month batting .346 and slugging .788 including six home runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veteran Merrill Kelly takes the mound for Arizona having given up 25 home runs already this season with 17 of those coming against lefties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has allowed lefties a .526 slugging percentage compared to righties only slugging .435 against him with Abreu hitting 17 of his 22 home runs this season off right handed pitching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the all-star break Abreu has 11 home runs while slugging .618 with Kelly giving up two home runs during his last start at home against the lowly Rockies in just five innings pitched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look for Abreu to keep his hot bat going tonight taking his home run prop at +390 odds<\/strong>. Other Red Sox batters to consider for a home run prop tonight are Willson Contreras (+420)<\/strong> and Jarren Duran (+540)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MLB Home Run Prop<\/strong> Best Bet of the Day #2: Freddie Freeman (LAD) +440<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a down year as far as power is concerned for Freddie Freeman but if we can get +440 odds for him to hit a home run at Coors Field against a pitcher who is susceptible to giving up home runs, we\u2019ll take it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Righty Ryan Feltner gets the start for Colorado giving up 18 home runs in total this season with ten of those coming at home in 49.2 innings pitched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against Feltner all-time, Freeman is 6-14 with a double and triple and has been an exceptionally better on the road this season batting .335 and slugging .548 compared to home games batting .268 and slugging .385. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although he didn\u2019t have a home run in last night\u2019s 11-5 win he did go 3-5 with two doubles and is batting .320 against righties this season to go along with a .508 slugging percentage and 11 of his 15 home runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeman has also taken advantage of playing the Rockies a ton this season already going 17-37 with a home run while slugging .730 and at Coors Field specifically he\u2019s now 7-12 while slugging 1.000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that let\u2019s take Freeman at +440 odds to hit his home run prop<\/strong> with other Dodgers hitters to look at for a home run prop includes Shohei Ohtani (+210)<\/strong> and Max Muncy (+300)<\/strong>.
