Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 3 picks for Yankees vs. Dodgers World Series Game 4 featuring Freddie Freeman
Today could be the last chance for MLB sports bettors to pick a home run prop bet. It's Game 4 of the World Series and possibly the final matchup of the baseball season. There will presumably be, like there have been in all the other games, home runs hit tonight. In the first three games, there have been eight.
With the pitching matchups, a lot of runs are expected. If the series is to continue, it's likely going to take an offensive onslaught led by the home run ball. Here's who to pick based on DraftKings odds.
World Series Game 4: Best MLB home run prop bets for October 29
3) Kike Hernandez: +900
Kike Hernandez somehow morphs into an elite hitter in the playoffs, and he has an astonishing 15 career home runs in the postseason. That's as many as Aaron Judge has. Today, he's up against Luis Gil (0-0, 4.50 ERA in the playoffs), a pitcher who struggled down the stretch and wasn't sharp in the ALCS. Hernandez has been a playoff hero many times before and could do it again today.
2) Freddie Freeman: +600
Is Freddie Freeman going to hit another home run tonight? It's possible. The Yankees have had no answers for him this series. Luis Gil likes to throw fastballs, and Freeman has crushed them lately. As a fun bonus, if Freeman beats the odds and homers again, it will be the most consecutive games with a World Series home run. He has five dating back to his prior run with the Atlanta Braves.
Freeman would also likely lock up the World Series MVP award if he hasn't already.
1) Giancarlo Stanton: +270
There is really only one hitter on the Yankees offense who is better, arguably, at hitting home runs than Giancarlo Stanton. It's Aaron Judge, but he's entirely lost at the plate right now. Stanton is not, and his historic October performance has continued this year.
Look for him to do what he can against the Dodgers bullpen, since they're running out of relievers all night, to try and stave off a sweep in his own stadium.
