Daily Dinger: Best Home Run Prop Bet Picks Today (Who is Going Yard in Game 3 of NLCS?)
By Reed Wallach
The NLCS has been a thriller thus far, a rock fight victory behind a heroic pitching performance in Game 1, followed up by a back and forth high scoring affair in Game 2.
What can we expect as the series shifts to Philadelphia? Well, we are backing some sluggers to hit home runs at juicy odds. Citizens Bank Park is one of the most hitter friendly ballparks in Major League Baseball, who can cash in and be a postseason hero?
Here are two for Friday's Game 3:
Best Home Run Picks Today
Trent Grisham (+630) - San Diego Padres vs. Philadelphia Phillies
If any pitcher is going to give up a home run today, it’s going to be Ranger Suarez. He’s given up four homers in his last two starts, setting the stage perfectly for Trent Grisham to make his presence felt in this series.
Grisham hasn’t gotten a hit in this series, but that’s okay. We saw him dominate against the Dodgers, and even hit a home run in the series-clinching game. With a pitcher subject to mistakes on the mound, this is a great time to get on board with Grisham. – Donnavan Smoot

Nick Castellanos (+400) - Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Diego Padres
Castellanos is hitting only .200 in 30 postseason at bats without a home run, but he hits in the middle of this strong Phillies lineup and has had success against Musgrove in the past.
The outfielder typically bats in the five hole (based on past postseason lineups) meaning that there could be runners on base and the slugger may need to see a few pitches in the strike zone.
He is hitting .278 in 18 at bats against Musgrove with a home run to his name giving me some confidence that he can get his first postseason bomb on Friday night in a crucial Game 3. – Reed Wallach
