Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks
Jose Ramirez (CLE) +475
Jose Ramirez already has one home run in four games this season, and he has a great matchup to hit his second of the season tonight on the road. The Mariners play in a pitcher’s park, but the ballpark is indoors, meaning weather is not a concern in this one.
Ramirez has tagged Seattle’s starter, Luis Castillo, for three of his five hits in 20 at-bats against the fastball-throwing right-hander. Castillo is electric, but one of the downsides of throwing hard all the time is that he gets hit hard quite often as well.
Castillo let up 28 home runs last season, and he already allowed one in one start this year. Based on Jose’s history against Castillo and the type of pitcher Castillo is, Ramirez is a great bet to go yard tonight, making him one of the best home run prop bets to make tonight.
Mookie Bets (LAD) +600
Mookie Betts has seen a lot of Logan Webb, and hit a home run off of him in the past. Betts is 12/30 in his career against Webb, so it’s clear he sees the ball well coming from Webb’s right hand. Mookie already has four home runs this season, so he is no stranger to the long ball.
Three of those four home runs have come against right-handed pitching. Webb allowed 20 home runs last season, and 12 of them came against righties in 421 total batters faced, which was a higher amount of home runs in a lower amount of batters faced than against lefties.
Mookie had 25 home runs against righties last season, so he has more power facing righties than lefties. The conditions in Los Angeles are expected to be beautiful tonight, so Betts has a great matchup and situation to go yard in front of the Dodgers’ faithful tonight, making him one of the best home run prop bets to make tonight.
Juan Soto (NYY) +470
Juan Soto’s Yankee career is off to a blazing start, and tonight, he has a great matchup to hit a home run. Soto already has one long ball this season, and in a dome environment in Arizona, he should be poised to hit another.
Last season, Soto hit 27 home runs off right-handed pitching, and tonight, he faces Zac Gallen, who was 20th in home runs allowed last season. Gallen allowed 14 home runs to lefties in 411 batters faced last season, which was a much higher ratio than against righties.
Soto is 3/19 career against Gallen with one home run, and now with Aaron Judge protecting him in the lineup, we expect Soto to get more pitches to hit, and he has a great chance of going yard tonight.
