Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 3 picks for Yankees vs. Dodgers World Series Game 3 featuring Aaron Judge
So far in the World Series between the New York Yankees and LA Dodgers, home runs have been huge. There have been six recorded in the two games, and there will almost assuredly be more on Monday night in Game 3. Picking from the 18 hitters who are likely to be in the lineups is difficult, especially since the pitching is so much stronger and home runs are slightly less frequent in the postseason.
Nevertheless, there are probably going to be some from a few of the top hitters tonight. We've got the best picks from DraftKings for you to consider for Game 3 of the World Series.
Best MLB home run prop bets for Game 3
3) Max Muncy: +500
Max Muncy has not yet hit a home run in the World Series for the LA Dodgers. Clarke Schmidt (0-0, 3.86 ERA) presents an interesting matchup for the left-handed slugger, who could take advantage of the short porch in right field. Muncy hasn't particularly hit well against tonight's opponent, but the matchup and the right-field fence are advantageous to him.
2) Giancarlo Stanton: +285
Giancarlo Stanton crushed a mammoth two-run home run in Game 1. His outstanding postseason home run numbers have by and large not slowed down in the World Series for the New York Yankees.
Tonight, against Walker Buehler (0-1, 6.00 ERA in the playoffs), he has a good shot of going deep and energizing his home crowd. He has hit one roughly every eight at-bats in the postseason, and his eighth at-bat since his last one will come up in Game 3.
1) Aaron Judge: +240
Aaron Judge has struggled mightily in the playoffs, but especially in the World Series. Getting back home, where he hit 31 of his 58 home runs this year, should help him turn things back around.
Buehler has largely struggled to create swings and misses, which is what is ailing Judge right now, so the matchup should be better for him today. After a day off to reset, expect Judge to come out and look much better.
