Home Run Prop Predictions & Odds: MLB HR Best Bets for Tuesday, September 29th
The MLB Playoffs kick off in earnest Tuesday with all four Wild Card Series opening simultaneously, and with elimination-game intensity already in the air, power surges could be the difference-maker in more than one of these openers. Between shaky, unsettled starting pitching on multiple sides, hitter-friendly ballparks, and a couple of bats that have made a habit of going deep against these exact opponents, the long ball feels like the play across today’s slate. Here are three hitters worth targeting for a home run on Tuesday.
Matt Olson (Braves vs. Phillies) Home Run Odds
Olson’s gone deep in three of his last four games at Truist Park against the Phillies, and the matchup lines up well again: Atlanta gets to throw Chris Sale in Game 1, while Philadelphia still hasn’t settled on a starter (Painter, Nola on short rest, or a freshly-activated Luzardo). A shaky, uncertain arm on the mound against a middle-of-the-order lefty bat who already owns a track record against this exact opponent is exactly the recipe for another one to leave the yard
Pete Crow-Armstrong (Cubs vs. Padres) Home Run odds
PCA has been an absolute problem for the Padres specifically, homering in four of his last five meetings with them, and he’s coming off a 40-homer, 40-steal season that put him in rare company. The one snag: he’s facing Michael King, San Diego’s certified ace (12-10, 3.21 ERA) in Game 1 at Petco Park. Still, this is a hitter who’s proven he shows up against this exact opponent no matter who’s on the mound, and that history is hard to ignore in a lineup spot like this
Christian Walker (Astros vs. White Sox) Home Run Odds
Walker’s been locked in, homering in three of his last four games, and he gets a golden opportunity in Game 1: Houston’s bullpen-game plan means the White Sox lineup faces steady arms, but on the other side, Chicago is starting the day with an opener before turning to Erick Fedde — untested, high-leverage relief innings that a hot power bat like Walker is built to punish. Home crowd at Daikin Park, favorable pitching mismatch, recent form all point the same direction
