Home Run Picks for Monday, June 2

Shohei Ohtani Anytime Home Run (+150) at Caesars Sportsbook

With 22 home runs on the season, Ohtani is among the best targets for a home run prop on any given day. Despite going hitless on Sunday, he has four home runs in his last seven games, so even for him, he’s red-hot right now. Until he goes more than one game without a hit and shows more signs of actually cooling off, Ohtani is a player to watch closely for home run props.

On Monday, he and the Dodgers will face Paul Blackburn, who makes his season debut and his first start since August after a series of injuries. Blackburn gave up 12 home runs in just 14 starts last year. Meanwhile, Ohtani is 4 for 9 with a double and a home run in his career against Blackburn, so this is a favorable matchup for him.

Pete Alonso Anytime Home Run (+350) at Caesars Sportsbook

Just like Ohtani, Alonso has hit three home runs in his last seven games, so momentum is on his side. While he’s not been as red-hot as Ohtani has been lately, Alonso does have an eight-game hitting streak. Keep in mind that he had a long home run drought that lasted for most of May, so he might be heating up and finding his groove with regard to his power.

In limited experience against Los Angeles starter Dustin May, Alonso has two hits in just three at-bats. That’s not much of a sample size, but it’s enough to know that Alonso’s confidence will remain high. Plus, May has given up at least one home run in five consecutive starts. Someone on the Mets is bound to go yard against him, with Alonso being the safest bet.

Miguel Vargas Anytime Home Run (+320) at Caesars Sportsbook

Vargas has been one of the few thin silver linings for the White Sox this season. He’s been a key power source for Chicago, including two home runs in the past week and eight overall. We highlight him because he’s facing Jack Flaherty, although Vargas is just 1 for 8 in his career against Flaherty.

Flaherty has been among the most vulnerable pitchers to the long ball this season, giving up 11 home runs in 11 starts. He managed to pitch six scoreless innings against the Giants in his last start. But he has still allowed at least one home run in five of his last eight starts.

Carlos Correa Anytime Home Run (+500) at Caesars Sportsbook

Correa is more of a long-shot home run target for Monday. His power has declined since he got to Minnesota, with just five home runs in 50 games this season. However, his power has come alive lately, with two home runs in his last six games and three long balls in his last nine games.

We were also drawn to him because of his history against Luis Severino, who starts for the A’s. Correa is 5 for 16 with two doubles and a home run in his career against Severino. This is a good matchup for him, one that could allow Correa to keep hitting for power.
