Top MLB Home Run Prop Leaders - September 17
Jose Ramirez: +400
Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez' 35 home runs on the season puts him within five of breaking his career number, which was set in 2018.
"35 homers, 39 stolen bases for José Ramírez" - MLB
A .273 hitter on the season, Ramirez has hit .333 over the past week. Moreover, Ramirez has hit .283 with 14 home runs and 33 RBIs in 49 games against AL Central teams this year, such as Tuesday's opponents, the Twins.
Taylor Ward: +450
Taylor Ward hit his 24th home run of the season on Sunday, marking a new career high for the Los Angeles Angels outfielder. Poised to complete just his second full MLB season since making his debut in 2018, Ward is also slugging a commendable .755 on the season.
Byron Buxton: +320
Bryon Buxton of the Twins enters Tuesday's game against Cleveland with three home runs and seven RBIs in his past five games. Although Buxton has hit a mere .222 against his divisional foes this season, the nine games Buxton has played against the Guardians has seen the 30-year-old connect for two home runs and six RBIs.
"Being a Byron Buxton hater must be so, so sad. #MNTwins" - Twins Brasil
Matt Olson: +240
2023 NL home run champ Matt Olson is well overdue for a home run. Despite hitting .289 with 10 RBIs over the course of his last 13 games, the first baseman has not gone yard since Aug. 29.
"Matt Olson hits one OVER the batter's eye" - MLB
Thankfully for Braves fans, Olson is a career .320 hitter with six home runs and 11 RBIs against the Cincinnati Reds, who will play host to Atlanta on Tuesday.
Shohei Ohtani: +200
Having recently become the first player since 1894 to hit 85 extra base hits and steal 45 bases, Shohei Ohtani is on a quest for 50/50. As the Dodgers commence a three-game set in Miami on Tuesday, watch out for Ohtani to make some more history.
