Today’s Top Home Run Prop Bets: Mets vs. Brewers AL Wild Card Game 3 – October 3, 2024

There is just one MLB Wild Card Series game left since only one team managed to stave off a sweep on Wednesday. That means the options for home run prop bets for Thursday are slim, but there are at least some. If not for a late rally, there wouldn't be any games today.

The Milwaukee Brewers and the New York Mets meet for a do-or-die game thanks to home runs by Jackson Chourio (two of them) and Garrett Mitchell. That means managers will likely pull out every single pitcher they have if necessary, so matchups will vary greatly. Still, here are today's best bets from DraftKings.

Best MLB home run prop bets for October 3

3) Willy Adames: +380

Willy Adames had an excellent power season at the plate, tying the MLB record for the most three-run home runs hit in a single season. He has been largely quiet in the postseason, and the Brewers will need some of those three-run home runs he's so good at to advance. Today, Adames will face off with Jose Quintana (10-10, 3.75 ERA) and the Mets' bullpen, which could be a good matchup.

2) Francisco Lindor: +330

Francisco Lindor ended the regular season on a tear. The Mets shortstop returned from the injured list and hit two home runs in two games to seal a playoff spot before resting in the final game of the season. The slugger is going to be key tonight if the Mets are to advance. He faces Tobias Meyers (9-6, 3.00 ERA) and the Brewers' bullpen today.

1) Mark Vientos: +290

Pick Mark Vientos to hit a home run against the Brewers (Imagn)

Mark Vientos is today's best bet to hit a home run. The Mets star third baseman burst onto the scene with tremendous power at the plate during the regular season. He hit 27 home runs in 111 games played, which is a 162-game pace of almost 40 home runs. Today, against Meyers and the rest of the Brewers' bullpen, look for him to break out and potentially hit a home run.
