Best Home Run Predictions Today: MLB Odds, Picks & Prop Bets for Oct. 1

Last Updated: October 1, 2025 11:11 AM EDT • 3 minute read X Social Google News Link

Six players smacked dingers during the first day of the postseason, and we picked one correctly in Shohei Ohtani. Now four teams are on the brink of elimination as we make our best home run predictions today.
My MLB picks lock in on at least one slugger from each of the three later games, and two from the Red Sox-Yankees tilt.
Cody Bellinger, Teoscar Hernandez, Trevor Story, and Seiya Suzuki make up my home run MLB picks today. If all of them homer, the four-leg $10 parlay would net over $12,000 in profits.

💣 Best home run prediction today: MLB expert picks & prop bets
Here is my favorite MLB home run bet today and analysis of why it leads my MLB home run predictions.
⚾ Cody Bellinger (Yankees) to hit a home run ⭐⭐⭐

⚾ Cody Bellinger (Yankees) to hit a home run ⭐⭐⭐
Red Sox righty Brayan Bello has been outstanding against both of New York’s most feared right-handed hitters, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
Judge and Stanton have combined for four hits in 31 at-bats and one extra-base hit against Bello, which means the Yankees will likely have to get production from their lefties.
Bellinger is one of three projected New York starters that has a .941 OPS or better against Bello. His 1.417 OPS in this head-to-head matchup is the highest of any batter against today’s starting pitcher (min. 10 AB), as Bellinger has tagged Bello for four hits in 10 at-bats, including two home runs.
Bello has allowed two home runs in his last 14 innings, conceding nine of his 16 home runs against left-handed batters. Bellinger has nine home runs in 70 career postseason games, and I expect him to take advantage of the short porch at Yankee Stadium tonight.
Bellinger’s best home run implied odds are 16.13% through DraftKings’ +520 odds. But the best return on a winning $10 wager is through FanDuel’s +560 odds, which would net $56 in profits if he homers.
Elsewhere, I'm eyeing another New York slugger in my Red Sox vs. Yankees player props.
