The World Baseball Classic has already featured plenty of fireworks and memorable home runs. Not only have the blasts themselves been impressive, but the celebrations have also been absolutely off the rails – which makes them even more awesome! Everybody loves home runs, so let’s take a look at Friday’s two Quarterfinal matchups and pick up some top home run props to target on DraftKings Sportsbook. Looking at the matchups and current form, I’m taking Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Roman Anthony Ramos as my top two home run props this Friday.
The first knockout game features Korea against the Dominican Republic at 6:30 p.m. ET, followed by the United States taking on Canada at 8:00 p.m. ET. The other two Quarterfinal games are Saturday, before the two Semifinals on Sunday and Monday, setting up the Championship game for next Tuesday.
Top World Baseball Classic Home Run Props
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 1+ Home Run (+300)
Korea will give the ball to MLB veteran Hyun Jin Ryu on Friday night, and the lefty will face the unenviable task of quieting the Dominican Republic’s thunderous bats. DR has smashed 13 homers in their four games this WBC, and Guerrero is tied for the team lead with a pair of homers.
Vladdy is 6-for-12 in his three games, and also added a double while racking up seven RBI. He has been a streaky hitter throughout his time in the majors, but when he’s locked in, he’s one of the most powerful hitters in the game. He was teammates with Ryu from 2020-2023, so he should be familiar with his approach and pitches. In 2025, Vladdy hit .326 with a .404 wOBA against lefties, and the fact that his home run prop odds are 3/1 seems to make him a great value option.
Roman Anthony 1+ Home Run (+500)
After starting the WBC opener for Canada, Michael Soroka will get the ball again on Friday as he tries to contain the power-packed Team USA lineup. While the top options in the lineup have shorter odds, I love the value in targeting Anthony at 5/1.
Soroka gave up 12 homers last year, and eight of those 12 dingers were to lefties like Anthony. In their only meeting, Anthony went 2-for-2 with a double against Soroka, so he sees the righty well. Anthony is 5-for-15 in his four games in the WBC and has been a great replacement for Corbin Carroll. The young outfielder can continue his breakout with another blast on Friday, as he and Team USA look to erase their tough loss to Italy in their last game.
