Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 5 picks including Julio Rodriguez, Juan Soto, and more for September 22nd, 2024
It's Sunday, which means every MLB team will play and there will be loads of home runs. Predicting which players will hit them is no easy feat, as it depends on a lot of factors. Often, some players hit them seemingly at random. Nevertheless, we've got the best picks you need to watch out for today from DraftKings.
Best MLB home run prop bets for September 22
5) Julio Rodriguez: +400
Julio Rodriguez has heated up down the stretch. For the season, the Seattle Mariners star has 19 home runs, one of which came yesterday. The star outfielder has three in the last week and six this month. Today, he's up against Andrew Heaney (5-14, 3.89 ERA) and the Texas Rangers.
4) Kyle Tucker: +360
Kyle Tucker has three home runs since coming off the injured list, which includes one yesterday in a four-hit performance. He's heating up, and the Houston Astros star is a good pick today. Tucker faces Griffin Canning (6-13, 5.16 ERA) and the Los Angeles Angels.
3) Jorge Soler: +350
Jorge Soler has only hit 21 home runs this season for the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves, but he crushed one yesterday and could be heating up. Soler could easily go on a power surge, and today he faces Darren McCaughan (0-0, 7.64 ERA) and the Miami Marlins.
2) Matt Olson: +245
Braves first baseman Matt Olson has also had a bit of a down year with home runs. He hit 54 last year but has just 29 so far. One of those came yesterday, so he could be rounding into form. He also gets a positive matchup with McCaughan and the Marlins, so pick him today.
1) Juan Soto: +200
Juan Soto has 40 home runs. He is one of four players to be at or above that mark this season. The New York Yankees slugger has only three in September, though, so he could be due for a power surge. It could begin today against Joey Estes (7-8, 4.78 ERA) and the Oakland Athletics.
