Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 5 picks including Giancarlo Stanton, Salvador Perez, and more for October 10th, 2024
Since the NLDS is off today for travel and because one series ended, there are just two MLB games today. They are both Game 4 in the respective ALDS, and it can be hard to predict the home run hitters when there are so few games. Nevertheless, we've got the best prop bets to look out for today on DraftKings.
Best MLB home run prop bets for October 10
#5) Jose Ramirez: +600
Jose Ramirez is the most important player for the Cleveland Guardians today. He has been mostly silent in this series, but if they're going to stay alive, he will need to wake up. The Detroit Tigers haven't named their starter, but it won't be Tarik Skubal, which bodes well for Ramirez.
#4) Salvador Perez: +475
Salvador Perez already has one huge home run in the ALDS, and he has a matchup with Gerrit Cole (0-0, 5.40 ERA in playoffs) who struggled last time out. Perez hit 27 home runs during the regular season, and if the Kansas City Royals are going to stay alive, Perez will be a big reason why.
#3) Juan Soto: +400
Juan Soto narrowly missed a home run last night, hitting one that would've been out in 17 of 30 MLB parks. Tonight, the New York Yankees star gets to face Michael Wacha (0-0 with a 6.75 ERA in playoffs) again. When the Royals started him last, Soto ended up with a three-hit game.
#2) Giancarlo Stanton: +310
When Giancarlo Stanton is hot, he's like few other hitters. The Yankees slugger was one of our picks to hit a home run last night, and he was the only one who did. His monstrous blast in the eighth inning proved to be the difference in a one-run game, but he also nearly had a second one earlier in the day. Look for him to give Wacha a tough time.
#1) Aaron Judge: +255
Aaron Judge ran into poor luck last night, smashing a ball harder than anyone would hit all night, but Bobby Witt Jr. snagged the line drive. It was the best swing he's had all postseason, showing signs that he might be turning it around. In a potential clincher, expect Judge to remember that he hit 58 home runs in the regular season.
