Top MLB Home Run Prop Leaders - October 6

Max Muncy: +290

Although injuries limited Max Muncy to just 73 games this season, the Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman still managed 15 home runs and 48 RBIs. No stranger to the MLB postseason, Muncy claims a career .836 postseason OPS, and 10 homers in 47 October games.

Francisco Lindor: +370

Francisco Lindor is just 2-for-12 this postseason. Although the shortstop has been quiet, his six walks this postseason rank first on the New York Mets. While Lindor hit a regrettable .167 against the Phillies this season, the Puerto Rican is hitting .333 against Cristopher Sanchez, who will start on Sunday for Philadelphia.

Kyle Schwarber: +245

Kyle Schwarber brought down Citizens Bank Park with his first inning homer on Sunday. The NL walks leader with 106 this season, Schwarber complemented his 38 home runs this season with an increase in patience at the plate, and has slashed .228/.381/.456 in 47 career MLB playoff games.

Bryce Harper: +320

Bryce Harper is a postseason warrior. Although the two-time MVP was kept off of the scorecard on Saturday, Harper hit .298 with four home runs and nine RBIs against the Mets this season. Additionally, Harper boasts a .276 average with nine home runs and 27 RBIs in 49 career postseason games.

Shohei Ohtani: +170

With his home run against the San Diego Padres on Saturday, Shohei Ohtani has homered in every single career MLB postseason game - a total of one. After a historic season that saw the Dodgers star become the first player ever to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases, Ohtani's utility for his team in the postseason will likely be immeasurable.
