Best MLB home run prop Bets - September 15
Julio Rodriguez: +425
The No. 2 batter in the Seattle Mariners batting order, Julio Rodriguez comes into Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers with a hot bat, after hitting homers in each of the previous games of the series. With a batting average of .293 against left-handed pitchers, he comes into a favorable matchup, where he'll face lefty Andrew Heaney on the mound (5-13 W/L, 3.84 ERA).
Cody Bellinger: +475
2019 NL MVP Cody Bellinger will face the Colorado Rockies and Cal Quantril (8-9 W/L, 4.63 ERA) after going yard in the previous game on Saturday. With the Cubs losing the first two games of the series, we expect them to come out with guns blazing to avoid the sweep. Additionally, the game is at Coors Field so flyballs carrying out of the park are to be expected.
Eugenio Suarez: +550
Set to face lefty DL Hall (1-1 W/L, 4.01 ERA), we back Eugenio Suarez to play a key role at the plate for his team to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers at Chase Field. Suarez has hit 10 homers this season against left-handed pitchers and should add to that number on Sunday.
Brent Rooker: +260
The Oakland Athletics and Brent Rooker come into Sunday's game aiming to clinch a series victory against the struggling Chicago White Sox. Rooker bats .305 and has 27 homers against right-handed pitching this season, and we expect him to get to rookie Sean Burke who has only pitched three innings in the big leagues so far.
Kyle Schwarber: +450
After having relatively quiet nights against the New York Mets in each of the previous two games, Philadelphia Phillies leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber should be motivated to show his quality on Sunday.
Though lefty David Peterson has been decent this season, he struggled in his last start against the Toronto Blue Jays, as he gave up four earned runs before he was hooked in the fourth inning. Schwarber bats .321 against lefties and we back him to add to his 35 blasts in Sunday's game.
