MLB Home Run Picks: Expert Jacob Fetner's Best Bets for June 11

Thursday features an eight-game MLB slate, and especially for daytime baseball fans, an afternoon-heavy slate creates plenty of  online sports betting  options for MLB fans and baseball bettors. There are several entertaining forms of baseball  prop betting , including MLB home run props. Before you lock in your MLB HR picks today, you'll want to see what SportsLine data analyst Jacob Fetner has to say. Fetner was up 50 units on his MLB home run picks on betting sites last year and just revealed three MLB prop bets for Thursday, June 11.

Two of Fetner's three home run picks homered yesterday, backing a pair of Dodgers in Shohei Ohtani (+325) and Ryan Ward (+650). On Tuesday, Fetner correctly picked the Tigers' Kerry Carpenter (+479) to go deep. Last week, Fetner's correct home runs picks included the Pirates' Oneil Cruz (+423) and the Red Sox's Willson Contreras (+390) to hit a home run. Over the last few weeks, he has hit home run props on players such as the Pirates' Brandon Lowe (+340), Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte (+499), Giants' Casey Schmitt (+590), Phillies' Alec Bohm (+820) and Athletics' Nick Kurtz (+401). He also hit a home run  parlay bet , which paid out more than 30-1.

For Thursday, Marlins catcher Liam Hicks is among his best MLB HR bets today, and you can also parlay today's selections for a return of over 225-1 on some of the best sports betting apps . Hicks has homered twice over his last 10 games, and Fetner likes the Thursday matchup.
