Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 5 picks including Shohei Ohtani, Tyler O'Neill, and more for September 11th, 2024
Hitting a home run isn't easy against modern pitching, but it happens a lot every single day. MLB players are capable of doing it with one swing, and determining who will be each day's home run hitters is a tall task. To that end, for the prop bet, we've got Wednesday's best picks from DraftKings.
Best MLB home run prop bets for Sept. 11
5) Andrew McCutchen: +600
Andrew McCutchen only has 20 home runs for the season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, but one of them came in the game against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Two of them have come in the last week, so he's swinging the bat well as of late. Today against the Marlins' Jonathan Bermudez (5.79 ERA), he has a good chance to keep doing that.
4) Mookie Betts: +380
Mookie Betts has 17 home runs in an injury-shortened season. The Los Angeles Dodgers star has come by two of them in the last seven days, so he could keep the momentum going today. Chicago Cubs' Jordan Wicks (2-3, 4.03 ERA) is a good matchup to do so.
3) Tyler O'Neill: +380
Tyler O'Neill appears to be back on a home run binge. The Boston Red Sox star is up to 29 for the year, with four being added in the last seven days. He's red-hot, and he gets to face Dean Kremer (7-9, 4.27 ERA) of the Baltimore Orioles today.
2) Shohei Ohtani: +310
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has 46 homers this year, more than everyone except New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge. He's in great form and has the same good matchup that Betts has with Wicks. The Cubs pitching staff might have a tough time keeping him in the park tonight.
1) Yordan Alvarez: +170
Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez is usually a good pick to hit a home run since he's one of baseball's most prolific hitters. He's got 32 this season, good for 10th in the MLB, and has two in the last week. Today, he's up against the Oakland Athletics with right-handed starter Joey Estes (6-7, 4.46 ERA) on the mound. Take Alvarez to go deep in this matchup.
