Today’s MLB Home Run Prop Bets For September 1
Athletics first baseman Dermis Garcia hit a 467 foot bomb of a home run off Nationals starter Anibal Sanchez marking his second home run of the season. WagerTalk content contributor Kyle Kargel provides his daily home run prop picks and predictions for Thursday, September 1 with odds provided by PointsBet.
Home Run Prop Prediction 1: Nathaniel Lowe (+750)
The Red Sox kick off a four game series at Fenway Park with the Rangers tonight sending veteran Rich Hill to the mound and Nathaniel Lowe will be looking to stroke a home run out to the short right field side.
It’s wild to think that Lowe is significantly better against left handed pitching this season considering he’s a lefty himself. He hits .346 against lefties this season including nine of his 22 home runs in 136 at-bats.
In comparison, he’s hit the other 13 home runs against righties in 336 at-bats. If you’re doing the math that’s one home run every 15 at-bats against lefties and one home run every 25 at-bats he has against righties.
He hits .325 on the road with 12 home runs and sports a .276 average at home with 10 home runs. As you can tell Lowe is a much better hitter when he’s going against a lefty on the road which is what we have tonight.
Lowe had seven home runs in August and hit .389 during the month as well. Get Lowe to hit a home run at a very valuable (+750) with other Rangers hitters to consider are Corey Seager (+400) with three home runs in the last seven days and Adolis Garcia (+320).
Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Christian Walker (+350)
The Brewers and Diamondbacks meet for the first time this season and Arizona first baseman Christian Walker looks to build off his impressive August in which he hit seven home runs and hit .346 raising his average from .203 to .233.
His home and road split are pretty even and it’s a good thing they’re playing at night because he’s a .281 hitter when playing under the lights compared to hitting .159 when the suns out.
He and the Diamondbacks get Brandon Woodruff who has been prone to giving up home runs lately. Before his last start which came against the lowly Cubs, he had allowed two home runs in three straight starts.
Woodruff sports a 4.34 ERA on the road compared to 2.22 at home and he’s already given up a home run to Walker in his career.
Get Walker at +350 to hit a home run but another Diamondbacks hitter you could target is Stone Garrett (TBD) who has been stellar since being called up hitting .407 with two home runs and four RBIs in seven games.
