It's the final Dinger Tuesday of the MLB regular season and SBR's Mike Spector has his best home run predictions for September 23rd ready to go:
Bryce Harper to hit a home run (+340 via FanDuel)
Aaron Judge to hit a home run (+240 via FanDuel)
Mookie Betts to hit a home run (+525 via DraftKings)
Isaac Paredes to hit a home run (+440 via FanDuel)
Best Parlay odds: +49986 via FanDuel ($10 to win $4,998.61)
Best Bet: Mookie Betts (Dodgers) to hit a home run (+525 DraftKings)
"Betts is one of two Dodgers (Ohtani) ranked in the top eight in ISO in September (min. 50 PA). Amid that power surge, he has displayed his usual outstanding contact, as his 10.5% strikeout rate is the lowest among the top 24 sluggers in that metric.
Betts ranks 11th in hard contact in September, and his 48.6% hard-hit rate this month is better than some of the sport’s most prolific home run hitters like Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Schwarber, and Juan Soto.
The Dodgers shortstop is 7-for-17 with two home runs in his career off Diamondbacks righty Brandon Pfaadt. Pfaadt has allowed three home runs in 16 ⅔ innings against the Dodgers this year and is one of 25 pitchers to allow at least 24 home runs this season.
Betts has hit 10 home runs in his career at Chase Field, tied for the second-most in any visiting ballpark. He is slashing .368/.350/.526 in Arizona’s home stadium this year, and he has a great chance to do damage against a pitcher that the Dodgers pounded for four earned runs on eight hits over 4 ⅓ innings at the end of August."
