Today’s best MLB home run prop bets: Top 5 picks including Shohei Ohtani, Manny Machado, and more for July 7th, 2024
There are several MLB superstars expected to play today, and many of them will have the chance to hit a home run. Doing so marks the absolute best outcome of an at-bat, and it's become a very popular prop bet. MLB fans gamble on players they believe will hit a home run on a given day, which is a difficult thing to predict since hitting a home run is so challenging.
Here are the five best bets for July 7:
Best MLB home run prop bets July 7
#5) Manny Machado +380
Manny Machado only has 12 home runs so far this season, but he's still a player capable of putting a good swing on any pitch and lifting it out of the ballpark. The San Diego Padres outfielder, as a result, has pretty short odds of doing that on July 7.
#4) Jorge Soler +360
Jorge Soler's power stroke has been largely absent this year. Nearing the All-Star break, he has just 10 home runs for the San Francisco Giants. Nevertheless, he has been a prolific home run hitter for the duration of his career, and he's a good bet to do that today.
#3) Teoscar Hernandez +320
Teoscar Hernandez is quietly having an impressive season. The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder has 19 home runs and 60 RBI thus far, so he's a good bet to hit a home run on July 7. He has just one in the last week, so he might be due.
#2) Shohei Ohtani +320
Shohei Ohtani is a good bet to hit a home run on any day. The Los Angeles Dodgers star blasted his 28th last night, good for second in MLB. The fact that he hit one last night does make it a little less likely he hits one again hours later, but he is still one of the most prolific home run hitters in the league.
#1) Salvador Perez +235
Salvador Perez has very good odds of hitting a home run for the Kansas City Royals today. He's been slugging very well this season, with 14 home runs to his name at this point in the season. Thanks to a good matchup and a homer-less July so far, he's due to hit one today.
