Today’s Top Home Run Prop Bets: Guardians vs. Yankees ALCS Game 2 – Oct. 15, MLB 2024
Game 2 of the ALCS is here, and if the recent trend is any indication, there will be lots of home runs. Game 1 featured three solo home runs, and there are some powerful hitters in each lineup. Predicting which ones will go deep is a challenge as always.
It's even more challenging since this is the only game today. There are roughly 18 hitters to choose from, severely limiting the options for sports bettors to choose from. Nevertheless, we've got today's best picks from DraftKings. Yesterday, we went three-for-five.
Best MLB home run prop bets for October 15
3) Jose Ramirez: +425
Jose Ramirez had some poor luck on batted balls last night, but he remains the Cleveland Guardians' biggest threat. If anyone is going to take Gerrit Cole (1-0, 3.00 ERA in the playoffs) deep tonight, it's going to be the third baseman. He swung well from the right side yesterday, but today will be back to his natural lefty swing, too. Combined with the short porch in right field, that could yield a home run for Ramirez.
2) Giancarlo Stanton: +330
Giancarlo Stanton remains locked in, and he blasted his second playoff home run last night. It was a 114-mile-per-hour laser over the bullpen. Tonight, Tanner Bibee (0-0, 2.08 ERA in playoffs) will have a difficult time slowing down arguably the hottest New York Yankees hitter. Stanton's career postseason home run numbers are incredible, and he could continue that against Cleveland in Game 2.
1) Aaron Judge +230
Aaron Judge had a walk and a sacrifice fly that he just got under in Game 1. The Yankees slugger is slowly getting better contact in the postseason, and he is more than due for a big hit. The player hit 58 home runs in the regular season, and he's bound to hit one in this playoffs eventually. Tonight against Bibee is his best chance yet.
The Yankees star has 13 career playoff home runs and very well could add another today. He's been slumping in the playoffs, but he's still baseball's best hitter.
