MLB Home Run Prop Bet Picks: Wednesday (Dodgers vs. Mets)
With limited games to choose from, it’s tough to pick out good matchups in the playoffs. Batters rarely see the starting pitcher more than two at-bats because managers have such a quick hook.
But in today’s matchup between the Mets and Dodgers, we have plucked three batters who have a good shot at leaving the yard.

Wednesday’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Shohei Ohtani (+285)
Shohei Ohtani's first playoff experience has been a bag of mixed reviews. In seven postseason games, Ohtani is batting .222 with one home run, five RBI and a team-high 12 strikeouts.
Good news for the superstar: He has had great success against today's starter, Luis Severino. It’s a small sample size, but in six at-bats, Ohtani has three hits, including a double and one home run.
Luis Severino has allowed 23 homers this season, - 16 of them have been to left-handed hitters. This matchup sets up well for Ohtani.
Francisco Lindor (+400) & Pete Alonso (+390)
On the other side of the diamond, the Dodgers are sending out Walker Buehler for Game 3.
Since coming back from injury, Buehler has been awful. In 16 starts during the regular season, Buehler is 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA. Over the 75 innings he pitched, he allowed 16 home runs.
Both Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso have been crucial to this Mets postseason run and have a great matchup against Buehler and the rest of the Dodgers’ pitching staff.
Assuming Lindor bats left-handed today, where most of his power comes from, he has hit 22 of his 33 home runs against right-handed pitchers.
The switch-hitting shortstop has only two at-bats against Buehler, one of which was a home run.
As for Alonso, he has smashed the Dodgers’ starter over his career - five hits (including one home run) in 14 at-bats.
There is a good chance we will see fireworks from both lineups. Hopefully, we will see a few dingers as well.
