MLB Prop Bets - Today's Home Run Prop Picks (9/1/2026)
Junior Caminero OVER 0.5 Home Runs (+325, Bet365)
In my last article, I ended it with Ryan Vilade hitting a homer off a lefty, and it didn't go well. In fact, Caminero was the one who homered off the lefty that day. That being said, I'm gonna ride the hot hand; Caminero has hit a home run in two of his last three games. He is getting a fantastic matchup against Sean Manaea.
Sean Manaea had a decent stretch going, but in his last four starts he has given up seven home runs. That is a bit concerning, especially with them all coming from the right side of the plate. On the season, he has given up 20 home runs, 15 of which have come against RHH; they are sporting a .509 SLG, .237 ISO, 13.8% Barrel%, and a 42.7% HardHit%.
Caminero has been crushing lefties this season, and had it not been for Yordan Alvarez, Caminero might be up for an MVP nod. He leads the team in all categories against LHP this season with a .955 OPS, .233 ISO, 18.7% Barrel%, and a 48.6% HardHit%. Caminero could be in one of the best spots on the slate!

Freddy Peralta is on the mound for the Rays today, which also makes this an interesting spot for the Mets. Take a peek at some of the lefties for the Mets; they could make for a great option as well.
Fernando Tatis Jr. OVER 0.5 Home Runs (+400, Hard Rock)
Fernando Tatis Jr. got off to a slow start, but has recovered quite a bit. He is now up to 17 home runs this season, seven of which have come against lefties. That leads the team by three home runs, which is insane after how slow of a start Tatis had. He is getting a great matchup against Nick Lodolo.
Lodolo has been hammered by righties this season. 13 of his 15 home runs this season have come against the right side of the plate. RHH are sporting a .489 SLG, .216 ISO, 12% Barrel%, and a 42% HardHit%. He has also given up seven home runs in his last five starts, showing major regression recently.
Tatis is likely the best one for the job here; he leads the team in multiple categories against lefties, including a .969 OPS, .276 ISO, 19% Barrel%, and also has a 47.8% HardHit%. On top of all that, we are at a very hitter-friendly park, Great American Ball Park. I'll gladly take 4-1 odds on Tatis in this spot.
