Thursday’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Dodgers vs. Mets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Teoscar Hernandez (+520) & Enrique Hernandez (+870)
Los Angeles has jumped all over New York’s pitching staff in this series, averaging 6.67 runs per contest. The Mets will turn to Jose Quintana in Game 4 to turn things around. The crafty southpaw has been on a recent hot streak on the mound. However, he has conceded a .299/.368/.481 slash line to this Dodgers lineup across 154 at-bats. Take note that 17 of the 22 home runs Quintana has allowed this campaign have come off the bat of a right-handed hitter. That makes two dark horses stick out.
Teoscar Hernandez finished the regular season with the third-best OPS against lefties (.934) in the National League and has tallied 12 RBI in 12 career games at Citi Field. He’s due for a breakthrough. Meanwhile, Enrique Hernandez has taken advantage of his increased playing time by smoking two home runs in six playoff clashes. The 33-year-old has now racked up 15 blasts in 224 postseason at-bats, which is the highest total on an L.A. roster full of power. Talk about an underrated option with a clear upside.
Bettors looking to go big or go home can create a same-game parlay with both sending a ball into the crowd at +4915 odds. They've gone yard in the same contest twice in the last month. Quintana was also tagged for two homers in his sole start versus the Dodgers in 2024.
