MLB Home Run Props and Picks for Thursday, 6/5: Bet on Aaron Judge, Michael Busch
Top 3 Home Run Prop Picks for June 5
1. Aaron Judge to Hit a Home Run (+164) Guardians vs Yankees 7:05 p.m. ET
Of course Mr. Judge is a regular on the list of MLB best bets and should land on the rundown of home run bets today. He’s going up against Slade Cecconi, whom he’s taken deep in their only prior encounter, also at Yankee Stadium. Judge had a pair of hits in Wednesday’s loss to the Guardians, but he’s yet to go yard in June, so this seems like a great spot.

2. Salvador Perez to Hit a Home Run (+600) Royals vs Cardinals 7:45 p.m. ET
We’re looking specifically at the nightcap of a doubleheader in St. Louis. It’s hard to know which game Perez will play, so check the MLB latest news before adding this to the home run picks. If he’s in there for the evening affair, Perez gets to face Matthew Liberatore, against whom he’s 3-for-5 with a home run.

3. Michael Busch to Hit a Home Run (+390) Cubs vs Nationals 6:45 P.M. ET
The Cubs were blanked on Wednesday in Washington, but Busch had one of their five hits. He has all nine of his homers against righties like the Nationals’ Jake Irvin, who starts this one, and seven of his dingers on the road. And wouldn’t you know it? Busch is 3-for-5 with a homer and a double against Irvin, so don’t hesitate to add this to your MLB game prop picks.
