MLB Home Run Prop Bet Odds & Picks
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Shohei Ohtani (+250), Max Muncy (+440), Teoscar Hernandez (+500)
The Dodgers are one of the hottest teams in baseball. They have won nine of their last 11 games while outscoring their opponents by nearly 20 runs.
Since August 1st, the Dodgers have hit the second-most home runs and have the third-highest ISO against right-handed pitchers.
Today, they face a struggling Merrill Kelly, who is making his fourth start since coming off the injured list (IL).
Since returning to the team, Kelly is 2-0 but has an ERA of 6.75. He has allowed four or more earned runs in two of his three starts.
Historically, the Dodgers have done well against Kelly. Shohei Ohtani, Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez all have at least a career .333 batting average with at least one home run against the Diamondbacks starter.
When facing a right-handed pitcher, these three also lead the Dodgers in homers, ISO and wRC+.
Jhonkensy Noel (Odds Unavailable)
In Cleveland, Big Christmas is what they call Jhonkensy Noel. Since his arrival in late June, he has become a fan favorite.
Since joining the Guardians, he has added some pop to the middle of the lineup. In 45 games, he has hit .262 with 13 dingers, tied for third-most on the team.
Righty Luis Oritz is on the mound for the Pirates. He is coming off one of his better starts of the season, but he struggles with the long ball.
Over his last five starts, he has an ERA of 5.08 and eight home runs allowed. I'd expect another high-scoring game in Cleveland, with the hopes of Big Christmas delivering once again.
