Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 3 picks for Yankees vs. Dodgers World Series Game 5 featuring Max Muncy
Plenty of home runs were hit in Game 4 of the World Series. Through the four games, there have been 12 homers recorded by various hitters. Power hitting shines in the postseason, and it has appeared prominently in the World Series. Today might be the last day to make this prop bet, though, as it could be the final game of the series.
Yesterday, we picked Freddie Freeman to hit a home run in his sixth World Series game in a row, and he did just that. Today, we've got the best picks to look out for from DraftKings.
Best MLB home run prop bets for Oct. 30
3. Juan Soto: +380
Juan Soto has hit a home run in the World Series already, but he was a bit quieter in last night's win. He has been one of the most consistent performers this postseason and should have the hand advantage over Jack Flaherty (1-2, 6.10 ERA in postseason). Expect him to send one over the short porch in right field to electrify the home crowd one last time before they either go home or leave for LA.
2. Max Muncy: +350
Left-handed hitters have it easier in Yankee Stadium — just ask Freddie Freeman and Will Smith. Max Muncy has been largely silent in the World Series after a brilliant NLCS, so he might be due for a bounceback. Gerrit Cole (1-0, 2.82 ERA) is on the mound, but Muncy doesn't need to do much to lift one over the right-field fence and quiet the home crowd again.
1. Shohei Ohtani: +220
The same logic applies to Shohei Ohtani. The Los Angeles Dodgers leadoff hitter is visibly struggling with his shoulder injury, but he recorded just his second World Series hit yesterday and doesn't have to put on his best swing to hit it 360 feet to right field. Ohtani has the hand advantage over Cole and he's likely due for a home run as he has not hit one in 25 at-bats.
