Dinger Tuesday calls for riding hot bats, even with temperatures dropping across the league. The focus shifts to indoor parks and a few West Coast spots where matchups and prices still create value in the home run market and MLB player props.
Junior Caminero said hello again to the Trop with a four-bagger yesterday, and I need him to do it again today.
Meanwhile, Drake Baldwin has already burned me, but is part of a four-player home-run round robin I’m brewing up for my best home run props and MLB picks on Tuesday, April 7.

Best MLB home run props today
Junior Caminero (+400)
With the temps dropping to the 40s, finding dingers indoors is the key to a profitable home run card on Tuesday. The Trop is back, and Junior Caminero went deep there yesterday afternoon, which was his second straight game with a four-bagger. He has hits in four straight, and nobody in baseball has a harder hit ball than him, with his league-leading exit velocity of 116.9 mph.
He faces Javier Assad, who was recalled from Triple-A to fill in for Matthew Boyd and Cade Horton. In his last minor league outing, Assad allowed two home runs on 11 hits and profiles as a contact-heavy arm.
This shapes up as one of the better hitting matchups on the slate, making Caminero a strong value play at this price in a controlled environment.

Drake Baldwin (+560)
Drake Baldwin has already failed me this year, but, of course, he got hot after I bet on him with back-to-back games going deep.
He is currently tied for the league lead with five homers. A price north of +500 in Anaheim, with decent hitting conditions, is putting him back in my trust tree. He is a Top-10 hitter in baseball right now who isn’t striking out.
There are three other Braves who have taken Yusei Kikuchi deep over their careers in Ronald Acuna (+360), Matt Olson (+390), and Ozzie Albies (+520), so there is plenty of info for Baldwin, who handles lefties just as well as righties.
This might be a great spot for a two-man Atlanta round-robin homer card with the two shortest numbers making better than 20/1 odds. That’s six combinations at doubles. At 0.15 units per bet, that would be a decent winner at less than a unit risk.
