Hitting a home run in the MLB is far from easy, and yet, so many players do on a daily basis. These players are often not the same, and sometimes, random players go deep. Predicting which ones will is a tall task, and it depends on a lot of factors. To that end, we've got today's best bets on DraftKings. Yesterday, one of our picks hit.
Best MLB home run prop bets for September 6
#5) Willy Adames: +475
With one more three-run home run, Willy Adames will break Ken Griffey Jr.'s MLB record of the most of those in one season. He's been impressive this year in the power department, crushing 29 for the Milwaukee Brewers. Today, he's facing Ryan Feltner (1-10, 5.11 ERA).
#4) Oneil Cruz: +475
Oneil Cruz has only 18 home runs this year, but the Pittsburgh Pirates star hits the ball harder than most players. That often leads to home runs, and it very well could today against the Washington Nationals. DJ Herz, who is 2-7 with a 4.09 ERA, is pitching.
#3) Tyler O'Neill: +425
Tyler O'Neill was off to a very hot start this year. In April and May, he was among the league leaders in home runs. Even today, the Boston Red Sox star has 25. Any team facing the Chicago White Sox, with 0-3 Davis Martin (3.62 ERA) on the mound, has a good shot of a player hitting a home run.
#2) Mookie Betts: +350
Mookie Betts has hit two home runs in the last week and has 15 in under 100 games this season. The Los Angeles Dodgers star has hit well since coming back from injury, and he's got the hand advantage against Matthew Boyd (1-1, 2.38 ERA) of the Cleveland Guardians.
#1) Jose Ramirez: +300
Jose Ramirez has once again been the most prolific home run hitter the Cleveland Guardians have. He has 34, the eighth-most in baseball this year. The matchup is not yet specified, though Dave Roberts had stated that Landon Knack, who is 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA, is expected to make the start today.
