I'm going back to some familiar faces for my MLB home run props today, backing two big boppers on hot streaks.
With eyes on the afternoon slate, I'm honing in on Ryan Mountcastle and Jose Ramirez for my two home run prop picks for June 6th:

Pick 1: Ryan Mountcastle To Homer (+400)
Orioles vs Blue Jays Matchup Preview - Game Time: 1:07 pm ET
I hate doubling up on a pick for a second day in a row. But I simply can't pick Ryan Mountcastle to homer today. The Orioles slugger has four homers in his last six games, rakes against the Blue Jays, and mashes against his opposing starter tonight, as well.
In 57 career games against the Jays, Mountcastle has 68 hits and 17 homers, the most dingers he has against any team in baseball. He also simply mashes against Yusei Kikuchi, with four homers in 17 career at-bats against the Blue Jays lefty.
I'm sorry, but this bet is too obvious not to take.

Pick 2: Jose Ramirez To Homer (+400)
Guardians vs Royals Matchup Preview - Game Time: 1:10 pm ET
Jose Ramirez is on quite the heater these days. The Guardians infielder has 13 hits and four homers in his last 10 games, leading the Guardians to the top of the AL Central. In a big divisional battle with the Royals today, I'm giving Ramirez the edge.
The Cleveland slugger has seen his pitching counterpart, Brady Singer, many times — and won many of those battles. Ramirez has 10 hits in 23 career at-bats against Singer, including four extra-base hits and two homers.
If you think Ramirez is going yard, I'd bet on a Cleveland win as well. The Guardians are 13-2 in games where Ramirez homers this year.
