Free MLB home run picks, odds for Aug. 18: Jose Ramirez among best bets for Monday HR player props - CBSSports.com
Jose Ramirez stands as a true five-tool threat and a switch-hitter with almost no drop-off from either side. Tonight, Ramirez and the Guardians head to Arizona to face Zac Gallen, a righty with a career-high in home runs allowed. Ramirez has posted most of his power as a left-handed hitter this season and already has meaningful success against Gallen, including a 5-9 career line with a home run. The latest MLB HR odds list Ramirez at +575, a reflection of his well-documented potency against tonight’s opponent. SportsLine’s projection model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and has leaned into Ramirez and other big-name homer props, highlighting Corey Seager (+350) and Randy Arozarena (+475) among its top plays for the day. The model’s history includes standout multi-leg bets and a buy-low setup on Ramirez, who has gone hitless in his last three games while Gallen has surrendered a career-high HR total this season. Ramirez’s lefty-lefty strength against Gallen is a recurring theme for fantasy and props, making him a compelling add for DFS lineups or daily fantasy props ceilings. In a broader note, Seager and Arozarena are pegged as strong secondary targets, with several parlay opportunities that could yield favorable payout odds. For fans chasing edge, the Monday slate also points to Cubs vs Brewers in the model’s top MLB props rundown, with additional context on how lefty-righty splits and recent form shape the night’s outcomes.
Which MLB homer props on this slate stand out for value and upside?Is Ramirez vs Gallen the clearest single-game edge tonight for fantasy or bets?Which other players on the Guardians, Rangers, or Rays could amplify a Ramirez, Seager, or Arozarena stack tonight?What are the top DFS captain options on this slate besides these homer heavy players?
