TODAY'S EXCLUSIVE PICKS

MLB HR PICK
Francisco Lindor (NYM)
To Hit a Home Run (+395)
One of our top targets is in the nation's capital for our 9/11 MLB HR picks article, and it's only fitting for this free bonus pick to be in the Subway Series. The Mets vs. Yankees series opener doesn't feature awful pitchers by any means, but Lindor has been as hot as ever in September and the short porch at Yankee Stadium doesn't hurt. Let's see the switch hitter crush his 5th homer this month and do what he's done before - cash our FREE newsletter pick!

MLB STOLEN BASE PICK
Henry Bolte (ATH)
To Steal a Base (+279)
The Athletics rookie has hit safely in five-straight games and in eight of his last nine. In that span, he's also stolen five bases. Matching up against a very hittable George Kirby who has allowed 21 stolen bases on the season, and catcher Cal Raleigh who has just a 14-percent caught-stealing rate over 51 attempts, puts us in a great spot to continue cashing our stolen base picks.
