Thursday's Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Red Sox vs. Blue Jays
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Jarren Duran (+500)
This pick is all about experience. Outfielder Jarren Duran has excelled in the intense divisional clashes the Red Sox and Blue Jays have had during the last few years. Sporting a .311/.349/.615 slash line to go with 28 extra-base knocks in 40 games battling one opponent is impressive, to say the least. Duran has specifically haunted Toronto hurler Jose Berrios, going 9-for-18 with three home runs in past run-ins with the right-hander.
Berrios is the listed starter on Thursday, which makes Duran someone to target in this market. Remember that Berrios surrendered the second-most homers of any pitcher in baseball in 2024. He has followed up those frustrations by conceding four jacks across three starts at Rogers Centre in 2025. Berrios has also been taken deep on the first pitch of an at-bat 40 times in his career. Being aggressive could pay off hugely for Duran.
