Daily Dinger: Top MLB Home Run Prop Picks for September 9

Wednesday’s MLB schedule is a right‑hander’s playground, which means the power hitters who love to crush balls off same‑side pitching are suddenly looking a lot more tempting. That’s why we’ve scoured the match‑ups, dug into recent trends, and pulled out four prop bets that feel a bit more like educated guesses than pure luck.

Riley Greene – Detroit Tigers (vs. Minnesota Twins) – +373
Greene has been on fire since returning from the injured list. In just seven games he’s batting .333, has three homers, ten RBIs and seven extra‑base hits. Overall, he’s a .277 hitter with an .836 OPS this season, but most of his power – 14 homers – has come against right‑handers. He’ll face right‑hander Zebby Matthews, who’s surrendered 22 long balls in his first 20 outings. If you’re looking for a short‑priced, high‑upside pick, Greene feels like a safe bet.

Mickey Gasper – Boston Red Sox (vs. Los Angeles Angels) – +540
Okay, this one is a bit of a gamble, but Gasper’s recent surge can’t be ignored. He’s hit .297 with eight homers and a .964 OPS against right‑handed pitchers. Over his last 19‑game stretch he’s logged all eight long balls, and he’s likely to see the right‑handed Ryan Johnson, who’s allowed 16 homers in 18 appearances and carries a shaky 5.17 ERA. If you enjoy the occasional long shot, Gasper could pay off big.

Cody Bellinger – New York Yankees (vs. Colorado Rockies) – +494
Colorado’s Tomoyuki Sugano has been a nightmare for hitters this year, surrendering 27 homers in just 25 games (5.19 ERA). Bellinger, a former NL MVP candidate, is 3‑for‑6 with a 1.071 OPS against Sugano in his career, even though he’s never taken him deep. Since returning from the IL, Bellinger’s been solid – one homer in 15 games while batting .290. With Yankee Stadium’s short right‑field porch in his favor, a near‑5/1 line feels like a decent gamble.

Junior Caminero – Tampa Bay Rays (vs. Atlanta Braves) – +270
Caminero is the real deal this season, already up to 39 homers, 31 of which have come against right‑handed arms. He’ll be up against Reynaldo Lopez, a right‑hander who’s been rocked for ten homers in a little over 71 innings and who struggled in his last five starts, allowing four long balls. Over the past two weeks Caminero has hit four homers in 12 games while posting a .319 average and a .996 OPS. The price is a little steep, but the upside is hard to ignore.
