Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 5 picks including Aaron Judge, Fernando Tatis Jr., and more for September 21st, 2024

Predicting home runs is one of the interesting betting options out there. With the regular season reaching its conclusion, it is the last chance for all bettors to back the right horse to hit home runs. Here's looking at the best home run prop bets for Saturday in the MLB.

#5. Kyle Schwarber: +425

Kyle Schwarber currently has a four-game hitting streak, with six hits during that spell. The Philadelphia Phillies slugger has maintained a high .338 batting average in all of September. He hasn't gone yard since Sept. 11 but will fancy his chances against the New York Mets.

Sean Manaea (3.26 ERA, 11-5 record) starts on the mound for the Mets. Schwarber has a .316 batting average against left-handed pitchers this season.

#4. Anthony Santander: +400

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander is on a hot streak, belting consecutive two-run homers on Thursday and Friday. The Os need to stay hot as they face the Detroit Tigers in Game 2 on Saturday, looking to seal the series.

Right-handed pitcher Reese Olson will start on the mound, and he has a 4-8, 3.50 ERA record this season. Santander has hit 31 of his 43 home runs against right-handed pitching this season.

#3. Jorge Soler: +380

Jorge Soler has recorded 12 hits in his last 10 games, including three home runs. The Atlanta Braves right fielder reached 20 home runs for the season with his hit against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.

On Saturday, the Braves face the lower-ranked Miami Marlins with right-hander Adam Oller on the mound and sporting a 1-4, 5.40 ERA record this season.

#2. Fernando Tatis Jr.: +275

Fernando Tatis' 10th-inning RBI on Friday helped the San Diego Padres over the line against the Chicago White Sox. The outfielder has made a superlative return to the lineup, hitting five home runs in his last nine games.

He will take on Chris Flexen, whose 2-14, 5.09 ERA record is one of the worst this season. Tatis, a right-handed batter himself, is hitting at .316 against righty pitchers, with 18 of his 19 home runs coming against them.

#1. Aaron Judge: +135

Even though he has just two home runs in all of September, Aaron Judge can never be counted out of hitting home runs. The New York Yankees captain is back in the lineup against the Oakland Athletics after a day off on Friday.

He will face left-hander JP Seats, who has an 11-11, 4.24 ERA record this season. Aaron Judge has a 1.253 OPS against left-handers in 2024.
