HR Prop #1: Jose Ramirez
Jose Ramirez is one of the best players to ever put on a Cleveland Guardians uniform, and he’s certainly done his part in 2025.
Ramirez finished the regular season with a .283 average and 30 home runs while going four times in September.
J-Ram has enjoyed himself against Casey Mize in the past. He’s 5-for-10 lifetime with a pair of round-trippers. Mize has allowed four homers across his last five appearances as well.
HR Prop #2: Shohei Ohtani
How can we ignore Shohei Ohtani? I mean, he just went deep twice in Game 1 on Tuesday evening at Dodger Stadium, helping his Los Angeles Dodgers take a 1-0 series lead.
Ohtani is an unstoppable force overall, but he’s continued to step up and deliver in the heat of the postseason. Tuesday was obviously a perfect example, and although he’s never faced Zack Littell, I’m eyeing Ohtani to put another baseball in the bleachers.
Littell has allowed 20 homers on the road and 16 to left-handed batters. Overall, he gave up 36 long balls this season.
HR Prop #3: Xander Bogaerts
Xander Bogaerts isn’t exactly a huge power guy, but he had a nice Game 1, and that could carry into Game 2. Bogaerts smacked 11 home runs this year, and he’s 4-for-14 vs Andrew Kittredge with one home run in his career.
Most of Bogaerts’ success has been against righties, with eight dingers. Also, his power output has been better on the road, going deep seven times. At +940, this one is a bit risky, but the Padres need someone to step up today, and it may just be one of their most experienced players.
It’s worth a look.
