Free MLB home run picks, odds for August 24: Francisco Lindor among best bets for Sunday HR player props

Power might not be the first thing that comes to mind in regard to Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor, who has been one of baseball's most well-rounded players for years. However, he's got plenty of pop, as evidenced by his five 30-homer seasons, and he's well on his way to another, with 25 home runs through 127 games in 2025. Lindor's on an 11-game hitting streak where he's hit four home runs, yet he's somehow available for as high as +475 in the MLB home run odds on Sunday.

He'll match up with Bryce Elder and the Braves in a game that starts at 1:35 p.m. ET, and we're riding the hot hand with Lindor as one of our top MLB HR picks today. MLB home run props are available for almost every player in every game at various sportsbooks, and SportsLine's proven computer model can help you find value for your MLB betting picks.

Juan Soto, Mets (+360, BetMGM)

We're going back to Soto today. Yesterday was a tough day to be on him, as the next four Mets hitters behind him in the lineup all homered. However, Soto is such a good hitter that going hitless yesterday makes him a "due" candidate today. He has a .961 OPS against RHPs this season and a .915 OPS on the road. Soto is 3-5 with a HR in his career vs. Bryce Elder, who has a 7.43 ERA and .931 OPS allowed at home this season. We set Soto's line at +300 to homer. You can bet this prop using the latest BetMGM promo code, where new users can get up to $1,500 in bonus bets back if their first bet loses:

Nick Kurtz, Athletics (+370, FanDuel)

Kurtz is priced at +290 on almost every other major book, so we're taking the value play at +370 on FanDuel. He's batting .357 with an almost 1.200 OPS against right-handed pitchers this season. Logan Gilbert has not been at his best lately and is coming off a start in which he allowed 6 ER in just 2 IP. We set Kurtz's line to homer at around +240. You can get over $300 in bonus bets if your first wager of $5 or more wins when you bet $5 using the latest FanDuel promo code:

Francisco Lindor, Mets (+475, BetMGM)

We're going with another Met who's had success against Bryce Elder. Lindor is 6-10 with 2 HRs in his career against him. He's swinging a hot bat, carrying an 11-game hit streak with 7 multi-hit games during that stretch. Lindor has hit 19 of his 25 HRs this season against right-handed pitchers. We set Lindor's line around +430 to homer. Once again, it's BetMGM with the best price here.
