Hitting a home run is no easy feat, but there's almost always plenty of them in any MLB game day. Predicting which hitters will go long, ranging from superstars to role players who hit their first one in a long while, is a challenge. Sports bettors often try to take guesses, but there are a lot of factors at play. To that end, we've compiled the best bets to look for on DraftKings for Wednesday.
Best MLB home run prop bets for September 18
5) Gunnar Henderson: +600
Gunnar Henderson has 37 home runs this season, which is among the league leaders. The majority of those came before the All-Star Break, but he has hit four in 14 games in September. The Baltimore Orioles star faces Hayden Birdsong (3-5, 4.74 ERA) today.
4) Teoscar Hernandez: +425
Teoscar Hernandez won the Home Run Derby, which makes him a good candidate to hit a home run often. The Los Angeles Dodgers star has 29 of them in the regular season, including one in the last six games. Today, Hernandez faces Ryan Weathers (3-5, 3.55 ERA) and the Miami Marlins.
3) Matt Wallner: +285
Matt Wallner has 13 home runs in 69 games played this season (200 at-bats). The Minnesota Twins player would hit over 30 in 162 games with that pace. He's hit one in the last week, so he could be heating up in that regard. Wallner faces Tanner Bibee (11.8, 3.60 ERA) today.
2) Ketel Marte: +255
Ketel Marte has hit 32 home runs this season for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Two of them came in his last six games, so he's hitting well right now. The DBacks star gets to take on Austin Gomber (5-10, 4.44 ERA) and the MLB's worst pitching staff: the Colorado Rockies.
1) Marcell Ozuna: +190
Marcell Ozuna is one of the league leaders in home runs. The Atlanta Braves star has 37 so far, but he hasn't hit even one since the calendar turned to September. He's more than due to hit another one soon, and he might do it today. He's up against Jakob Junis, who is 4-0 with a 2.73 ERA in a small sample size, and the Cincinnati Reds today.
