Best MLB Home Run Prop Bet Picks for Sunday, Oct. 6

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

• Freddie Freeman to Hit a Home Run (+450)
• Bryce Harper to Hit a Home Run (+310)

Freddie Freeman to Hit a Home Run (+450)

Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman has some solid numbers against San Diego Padres starter Yu Darvish in his career, making him an intriguing pick to go deep on Sunday.

In 35 career at-bats against Darvish, Freeman has nine hits (.257 batting average), three doubles, and a pair of home runs. 

Darvish has appeared in just 16 games this season – leading the Padres to a 12-4 record in those appearances – but he’s allowed 12 home runs as well.

Don’t be shocked if Freeman goes deep at home on Sunday. 

Bryce Harper to Hit a Home Run (+310)

This is a prime matchup for Phillies star Bryce Harper in Game 2.

New York is starting Luis Severino (3.91 ERA) in this matchup, and Harper has thrived against him in his career, going 2-for-5 with a pair of homers. 

Severino has been prone to the long ball – he allowed 23 homers in the regular season – so don’t be shocked if Harper gets a hold of one in a crucial Game 2 of the Phils.
