RotoBaller's MLB home run prop slate for 9/24/2025 spotlights four bets: Jarren Duran over 0.5 HR (+460), Teoscar Hernandez over 0.5 HR (+540), Iván Herrera over 0.5 HR (+830), and Zach Cole over 0.5 HR (+442). Odds vary by sportsbook, so shop for the best price to maximize value.

Duran targets Max Scherzer, leveraging lefty splits and Scherzer's fly-ball tendency. Hernandez faces Ryne Nelson, whose heavy four-seam usage and reverse splits open a door for a Dodgers homer. Herrera faces Robbie Ray, leveraging elite lefty splits. Cole's power surge lands in a hitter-friendly park with favorable wind. If one hits, it pays off and adds daily upside for fantasy managers.

Three-game Monday slate sparks a late-season DFS push. Chris Sale faces Washington and has been elite, while Justin Verlander owns a late-season surge in SF. Freddy Peralta and Nick Pivetta bring upside against San Diego, but the matchup is volatile. Braves carry the top stack with Acuña, Olson, Albies, Profar and Harris, while Rafael Devers looks strong against McGreevy. Adames and Heliot Ramos anchor a SF mini-stack, with Cardinals values Burleson, Donovan and Herrera offering contrarian leverage.

Smart lineups mix Sale and Verlander with Braves exposure and selective Devers- SF mini-stacks. The slate rewards targeted contrarian plays around Gore, Burleson, Donovan and Herrera, balancing upside with disciplined ownership. End-of-season narratives push players to exceed expectations as teams prioritize rest, making this a shakeout for critical fantasy decisions and bets.

Brewers catcher William Contreras left Sunday's game at Busch Stadium after a swing to the left hand/wrist area, a hand he's been managing with a fractured finger this season. He was checked by trainers and exited after briefly trying to shake off the pain as Milwaukee chased the NL Central title.

In the seventh, Contreras was part of a catcher's interference call on a swing by Ivan Herrera of the Cardinals. He remained in for a moment before catching two pitches in the eighth from Abner Uribe and then leaving the game. An update on his status is pending.
