Today’s Three Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets for Dodgers vs. Blue Jays World Series Game 1

#1 - Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+343)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. arrives at Rogers Centre locked in and arguably the hottest bat of October: his 2025 postseason line entering tonight reads like video-game hitting, .442 average, 6 HR, 12 RBI across 43 AB, showing he’s not only making contact but hitting for elite power in high-leverage moments.

Right-handed Guerrero bats against left-handed Snell tonight and profiles perfectly for a rookie starter who can miss up in the zone under pressure.

Guerrero’s success this month has come largely by punishing middle-up and elevated fastballs, the exact mistake a young pitcher might make when the game tightens.

The home crowd and familiar ballpark dimensions further boost his chances. In short: momentum + matchup + elite postseason form = the highest-probability long ball on the board.

#2 - Shohei Ohtani (+221)

Shohei Ohtani’s 2025 season was historic (55 homers, 102 RBI; an OPS of 1.014), and his batted-ball metrics are elite: huge average exit velocity, very high barrel rate, and a track record of converting loud contact into immediate distance.

Even though Blake Snell toes the rubber for the Dodgers, Ohtani is expected to be in the Dodgers’ lineup as the team’s primary top-of-order threat, and the Dodgers plan to use Snell in Game 1, with Ohtani likely to pitch later in the series.

As a hitter, Ohtani benefits from protection in the lineup and a platoon profile that makes him dangerous versus right-handers. At +221, it's like buying one of the highest single-game HR probabilities available, not a moonshot.

#3 - Teoscar Hernández (+515)

Teoscar Hernandez profiles as an upside mid-ticket play tonight. His 2025 regular season (25 HR, 89 RBI) and strong October contact metrics make him an attractive candidate to punish a rookie like Yesavage if Toronto’s rotation plan leaves him exposed.

Teoscar has a history of turning hittable pitches into extra-base hits, and he’s especially dangerous when he sees middle-to-upper-zone fastballs.

The long odds at +515 reflect both the higher variance and the plausible scenario in which Yesavage, under World Series nerves, leaves one up that Teoscar can launch. Use Teoscar as a smaller-unit dart with good payoff potential.
