Best MLB home run prop bets for October 25

3) Juan Soto: +340

Juan Soto could hit a home run tonight (Imagn)

Juan Soto is hot right now, coming off hitting a mammoth three-run home run to send the New York Yankees to the World Series. He has the hand advantage over Jack Flaherty (1-2, 7.04 ERA in the playoffs), who hasn't pitched entirely well this October. Soto has proven that he can rise to the moment, and that likely includes a homer tonight.

2) Giancarlo Stanton: +255

Giancarlo Stanton hit a home run four times in the ALCS (Imagn)

Giancarlo Stanton is another good home-run candidate. He hit four times in the ALCS. Every single one of them left the ballpark. The slugger has one of the best per-game home run counts in postseason history, and his playoff HR/AB is up there with Babe Ruth.

He should rise to the moment and could make life difficult for Flaherty and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

1) Shohei Ohtani: +210

Shohei Ohtani could hit a home run tonight (Imagn)

Shohei Ohtani is the best left-handed hitter the Dodgers have, which means he's going to have the best advantage against Gerrit Cole (1-0, 3.31 ERA in playoffs). He's also the most prolific hitter in this series, not named Aaron Judge, so he's a prime candidate to go deep.

Cole doesn't have the same elite strikeout numbers he used to and pitches more to contact now. All Ohtani does is make hard contact, and he could hit the Yankees starter at least once tonight.

Note: These odds are subject to change between now and first pitch.
