HR Prop #1: Mookie Betts
Mookie Betts is red hot right now, hitting nearly .500 across the last week with two home runs. Overall, the veteran has smacked 18 round-trippers. That’s not a huge number, but Betts is very capable of going deep at any given moment.
He comes into Monday’s matchup with momentum. Betts just collected five hits across the last two games, and he’ll face Ranger Suarez of the Philadelphia Phillies this evening. He’s lit up the lefty in the past, going 4-for-9 with a pair of long balls.
Suarez has allowed just 10 home runs in 23 starts this season, but nine of them have come off the bats of right-handed hitters.
HR Prop #2: Yanier Diaz
Yanier Diaz and the Houston Astros begin a big matchup with the Texas Rangers tonight, which always brings fireworks. The catcher is having a respectable campaign, hitting .259 with 19 home runs. He’s left the yard once in his last four games, and owns a .318 average in September.
Jack Leiter faces the Astros, and Diaz is 2-for-6 lifetime against him with a home run. The majority of his power damage has come against righties, cracking 14 bombs. Leiter has given up seven round-trippers to right-handed batters.
Diaz is also confident right now. He’s got three multi-hit games in his last five appearances and will smack HR No. 20 tonight.
HR Prop #3: Aaron Judge
Save the best for last, right? Aaron Judge is really starting to heat up, and that’s good news for the New York Yankees. The reigning AL MVP has now launched 48 home runs, and it’s almost a foregone conclusion he’ll hit the No. 50 mark sooner rather than later.
The slugger made his presence felt in the series finale against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, taking Garrett Crochet deep to right-center at Fenway Park.
Judge has left the yard three times in his last four contests, including a two-homer game last Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. He’s also finished with two hits in back-to-back games. Judge is swinging it extremely well as the playoffs quickly approach.
