Best MLB home run prop bets for September 2

#5) Bobby Witt Jr.: +600

Pick Bobby Witt Jr. to homer (Imagn)

Bobby Witt Jr. can do it all on the baseball field and does. He leads the MLB in average but also has 30 home runs already. Today, the Kansas City Royals shortstop gets to hit against Gavin Williams (2-7, 4.99 ERA), which gives him a pretty good chance at hitting a home run.

#4) Anthony Santander: +425

Anthony Santander has 39 home runs (Imagn)

Anthony Santander quietly has the third-most home runs in baseball. The Baltimore Orioles star has 39 so far, and he's up against the Chicago White Sox today. Chris Flexen (2-13, 5.29 ERA) will have a very tough time with Santander.

#3) Shohei Ohtani: +320

Pick Shohei Ohtani to hit a home run today (Imagn)

As he inches closer and closer to a 50-home run and 50-steal season, Shohei Ohtani is a good pick to hit a home run most days. The Los Angeles Dodgers star has 44 so far and gets to face Eduardo Rodriguez today (2-0, 5.06 ERA) - a good matchup.

#2) Yordan Alvarez: +245

Yordan Alvarez is one of today's best bets (Imagn)

Yordan Alvarez has the ninth-most home runs this season. The Houston Astros slugger has reached the 30 mark already. Plus, he's facing Cincinnati Reds starter Julian Aguiar (1-0, 6.43 ERA), and that's a pretty good matchup. Alvarez also has the hand advantage as a left-handed batter in this matchup.

---

#1) Aaron Judge: +290

Pick Aaron Judge to hit a home run (Imagn)

Aaron Judge hasn't hit a home run in the last seven days, and he only has four hits across that span as well. He's well overdue, and the New York Yankees slugger has the struggling Texas Rangers, the team he hit his 62nd home run against in 2022, on deck. The starting pitcher has yet to be named, but it doesn't matter much for Judge.
