Best MLB home run prop bets for October 9

5) Pete Alonso: +425

Pete Alonso's home run last night and his timely walks led the New York Mets to a blowout win, one that puts them on the brink of eliminating the Philadelphia Phillies. Tonight, he will face Ranger Suarez, who has not yet pitched this postseason. In the regular season, he was 12-8 with a 3.46 ERA.

4) Mark Vientos: +380

Mark Vientos has slugged the New York Mets to the brink of the NLCS. He has two home runs and eight hits total in the playoffs. He has been red hot and Suarez, making his playoff debut in a tough environment, might not be able to slow him down at all.

3) Giancarlo Stanton: +340

Giancarlo Stanton has been hitting the ball hard frequently during the ALDS against the Kansas City Royals. He hasn't had as much luck yet, but he's swinging fairly well. Tonight against Michael Wacha (16-9, 3.00 ERA) might be his best chance yet to really get a hold of one and silence the crowd.

2) Aaron Judge: +265

Aaron Judge could hit an MLB home run tonight? (Credits: IMAGN)

Aaron Judge has historically not hit well against Wacha (16-9, 3.00 ERA), who is today's starter. He has also not hit as well during the playoffs. But the New York Yankees slugger is still one of baseball's best hitters and is more than due for a big moment and it could come tonight against the Royals.

1) Fernando Tatis Jr.: +255

Fernando Tatis Jr. is a good pick to hit a home run (Credits: IMAGN)

Fernando Tatis Jr. was one of our picks to hit a home run yesterday, and he came through. He is a playoff performer and he loves hitting against the Los Angeles Dodgers. With his team on the brink of an NLCS bid, expect him to go off against whoever the Dodgers counter with. As of now, they haven't determined their starter.
