Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks

Jorge Polanco (SEA) +420

Switch hitter Jorge Polanco and the Mariners wrap up their series in Cincinnati today taking on the Reds sending out righty Brady Singer.

Polanco and Singer have faced off numerous times in their careers from their days playing in the AL Central with the Mariners second baseman going 8-27 with two home runs in his career against the Reds starter.

All three of his home runs have come against right handed pitching this season and sports an .889 slugging percentage during road games this season.

Sure Polanco only had 16 home runs last season, but he belted a career high 33 home runs back in 2021 as a member of the Twins so we know he’s capable of hitting 20-25 home runs this season.

Fifteen of the 22 home runs Singer gave up last season were to lefties which Polanco will be batting against him today.

It’s also worth noting that Polanco hit a home run every 24 at bats last season against righties compared to one every 31 at bats against left handed pitching.

He also sports a .615 slugging percentage this month so let’s take Polanco at +420 to hit a home run at the “Great American Small Park” with other Mariners hitters to look at for a home run being Julio Rodriguez (+390) and Luke Raley (+430).

MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Adolis Garcia (TEX) +450

The Rangers look to complete a three-game sweep of the Angels at home tonight with Los Angeles sending Jack Kochanowicz to the mound.

We struck out when we selected Adolis Garcia to hit a home run recently but we see an ample opportunity for the slugger to get a home run tonight.

Kochanowicz has already given up three home runs this season and he gave up seven in 65.1 innings pitched last season.

One home run came every 20 at bats when facing right handed hitters and one every 72 at bats when facing lefties.

Garcia is 1-2 with a home run in his career against the Angels starter with the Rangers outfielder averaging 30.5 home runs across his last four seasons.

If Garcia catches fire tonight you won’t find better odds than +450 to hit a home run in the future so, let’s take him tonight to get back on track in that metric. Other Rangers to consider for a home run today include Joe Pederson (+400) and Jake Burger (+440).
