Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks

Nick Castellanos (PHI) +520

Nick Castellanos has hit nine of his 14 total home runs at home this season as we’ll go with him to hit his home run prop tonight against his former team in the Tigers at Citizens Bank Park.

Castellanos only has 14 home runs this season but he has hit 23+ home runs in each of the last two seasons.

Jack Flaherty gets the start today for Detroit sporting a 6.28 road ERA compared to a 3.38 home ERA on the season.

He has allowed 19 home runs this season although he hasn’t allowed one in his last two starts (9 IP). So, we think there is a little regression to the means tonight, especially playing against a Phillies team that’s tied for second across the MLB in most home runs hit since the all-star break.

The Phillies outfielder has two home runs across his last six games played and four in total for the month so let’s take Castellanos to hit his home run prop with odds listed at +520.

Other Phillies hitters to take advantage of for a home run prop includes Kyle Schwarber (+220) and newest Phillies member Harrison Bader (+520).

MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Jordan Beck (COL) +440

The Pirates and Rockies are arguably the two worst teams in the National League this season as they go head-to-head in Colorado tonight.

Lefty Andrew Heaney takes the mound for Pittsburgh who has given up 20 home runs on the season with 13 of those coming on the road while posting a 6.45 ERA away from PNC Park.

We’re going to take a shot on outfielder Jordan Beck to hit his home run prop tonight batting .315 against lefties while sporting a .584 slugging percentage compared to a .414 slugging percentage against righties.

Beck is batting .314 at home compared to a .224 average on the road and is slugging .485 at Coors Field as well.

In July Beck batted .314 with Heaney giving up six total home runs across four starts in July while posting a 9.00 ERA.

The Rockies are tied with the fifth most home runs hit since the all-star break so take Beck at +440 to hit his home run prop tonight with other Rockies to target for a home run include Hunter Goodman (+300) and Ezequiel Tovar (+440).
