Best Home Run Prop Bets Today (Stick with St. Louis to Slug Away at Aníbal Sanchez)

Labor Day is Monday, September 5th. There's a 12-game Major League action spread out throughout the day. St. Louis Cardinals host Washington Nationals this afternoon. San Diego Padres welcome Arizona Diamondbacks. FanDuel Sportsbook has provided its top home run "Daily Dinger" picks for this day, Monday.

St. Louis Cardinals and Nolan Arenado take on Aníbal Sánchez and the Washington Nationals on Labor Day. Sanchez has allowed 12 home runs in nine appearances in the 2022 season.

Arenado has 28 home runs on the season and a .303 batting average. He has hit Sánchez well in his career, with four hits in 12 at-bats and drawing a pair of walks. Peter Dewey is taking a shot on Arenado at nearly 4/1 odds against one of MLB's worst pitchers on Monday.

Edman is hitting ninth in the Cardinals' lineup today. He has two home runs in his last three games and three in last five. Only Aaron Judge and Austin Riley have higher isolated power than Edman. Sánchez gives up an average of 2.33 HR/9 in nine starts.

Juan Soto hasn't been the offensive juggernaut that the Padres thought they were getting when they traded for him at the deadline. Arizona Diamondbacks will start Ryne Nelson on the mount. Nelson has a 5.43 ERA in 26 AAA starts in 2022 and he gives up 1.7 home runs per nine innings.
