Eric Lindquist circled Junior Caminero to homer off Carlos Rodon in Tampa. He reminded listeners that the 20-year-old already has 35 bombs between the minors and majors and now owns the platoon edge versus a struggling left-hander in what he jokingly called a "Triple-A ballpark." With Rodon’s recent issues and Caminero’s elite pop, Lindquist sees plus-money value on the long-ball prop.

Eric Lindquist predicted a Junior Caminero homer against Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson. Anderson’s change-up heavy arsenal has produced just an 11% whiff rate and a 41% hard-hit rate to right-handed bats. Caminero’s triple-A numbers—117 mph max exit velocity and a .440 expected wOBA versus southpaws—translate perfectly to Angel Stadium’s short left-field porch, especially in the day-game heat Lindquist dubbed "afternoon sun of Anaheim." Combine Anderson’s fly-ball tendencies with Caminero’s elite bat speed and Lindquist will be adding the HR prop as soon as markets open.

Ryan Wormeli predicted Junior Caminero will eclipse 40 homers this season and be drafted as a consensus top-three third baseman by 2026. Wormeli cited Caminero’s 22 first-half long balls, 100th-percentile bat speed, and rare ability to drive the ball to all fields—his homers are evenly distributed pull/center/opposite. Statcast’s poor sweet-spot and squared-up rates actually make the production more impressive; even a small improvement there could push the power higher. Wormeli added that tropicana’s friendly right-center alley should goose a few extra cheap shots and noted aging or park-downgraded vets (Manny Machado, Rafael Devers in Oracle, Austin Riley) are vulnerable to Caminero leap-frogging them behind Jose Ramirez in ADP.

Joey Pisapia delivered a "hot take," saying Junior Caminero is "our next Miguel Cabrera"—essentially slotting the 20-year-old somewhere between Manny Machado and peak Miggy in long-term value. While the conversation was light on granular stats, Pisapia’s conviction stemmed from Caminero’s precocious power (already 28 career MiLB homers above High-A before turning 21), advanced opposite-field approach, and the fact that MLB marketing wants young sluggers in marquee events like the Home Run Derby. Pisapia urged dynasty managers to treat Caminero as a future cornerstone and acquire him now, before the Rays inevitably clear a path to everyday at-bats.

B Wade also took Junior Caminero OVER 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs, noting he usually hits 5th with Mangum 6th, so one productive inning can cash both props. Caminero has topped this mark in seven of his last 10 and in 10 of his last 13 overall. The 21-year-old’s approach has improved each month and he stays locked in against an Oakland staff that Wade expects to regress. The same Jacob Lopez data (early blowups, limited big-league track record) that boosts Mangum applies here, creating a correlated Rays mini-stack Wade believes the books are undervaluing.

It's The Final Round highlighted Junior Caminero as the fourth Rays stick to exploit Tamayuki Shigano. The rookie is batting .435 off righties over the last 10 days (25 PA) and has logged hits in 8 of his previous 10 games. Caminero’s 27.8% sweet-spot rate may rank just 242nd, but the tout stressed that raw exit-velocity talent plus Shigano’s .405 average allowed to right-handers provides a high-floor opportunity for hit props. Bettors uncomfortable with multiple correlated Rays tickets were encouraged to include Caminero in Novig parlays that stack hits, runs, and RBIs.

Harrelson also played Junior Caminero over 1.5 total bases. Caminero has topped the number in eight of his last ten games while averaging 2.8 bases over that span. He’s 2-for-3 lifetime against Michael Lorenzen with both hits going for extra bases ( .666 AVG, 1.667 SLG ). The rookie is batting .280 versus right-handers compared to .264 overall, and the same righty-righty weakness in Lorenzen’s splits that benefits Diaz applies here. All six tracked sportsbooks—ESPN Bet, Hard Rock, Caesars, Novig, Fliff and Sleeper—have the over shaded, confirming market support for the play. With an average 4.4 plate appearances per game, Harrelson expects multiple chances for Caminero to cash.

Caminero made the tout’s list thanks to a 2-for-3 (.667) and a homer versus Michael Lorenzen plus hits in eight of his last 10 outings. That blend of historical and recent success fits the model for a hit-parlay inclusion.

B Wade wrapped up his card with Junior Caminero over 1.5 total bases against Michael Lorenzen. Caminero has eclipsed the mark in eight of his last ten games and is averaging 2.8 total bases during that stretch. He’s also 2-for-3 with a homer versus Lorenzen, producing a 1.667 OPS in the tiny sample. After falling short last game, Wade anticipates a quick bounce-back in the plus matchup and loves the 6.6x payout being offered on Dabble.

Chris Welsh doubled down on his preseason hype by predicting Junior Caminero will close 2024 as a top-five third baseman. After a sluggish April, Caminero’s OPS has rocketed from .682 to .803 thanks to a 10-day heater that included four homers, pushing his season line to 13 HR and 37 RBI. Welsh noted Tropicana Field’s new right-center power alley has boosted his barrel rate, and that plate-discipline tweaks (swinging at 4% fewer pitches out of the zone since May 15) are starting to surface. He expects Caminero to out-produce slumping veterans such as Eugenio Suarez and even rival Vladimir Guerrero in the HR+RBI department, while maintaining a serviceable .260 average. Fantasy managers who remained patient are now staring at a potential league-winner; anyone else should explore buying high before the rest of the room realizes he belongs in the Devers/Ramirez/Machado tier.

Erik Halterman advised scooping up Junior Caminero while the surface numbers look mediocre. Caminero is batting .242/.272 with a .702 OPS, but Statcast thinks he should be at .269 and projects a much healthier slugging profile. His 21 % strikeout rate sits exactly at league average, and the 51 % hard-hit rate is well above it. Halterman also pointed out Caminero’s 88 % in-zone contact rate (league average ~85 %), evidence that the 21-year-old already owns big-league contact skills. The only blemish is a ground-ball heavy batted-ball mix, something young hitters often correct. Because many managers overdrafted him, Halterman recommended offering a player taken two or three rounds later to pry Caminero away before the stat line catches up.

Boston also grabbed Junior Caminero UNDER 1.5 H+R+RBI despite the prop being juiced to –150. The rookie has scuffled in May (26 % K, 4 % BB, .281 OBP) and now draws Wheeler, who neutralizes right-handed power with a splitter generating 58 % ground-balls. Philadelphia’s pen complements Wheeler with two righties (Alvarado, Hoffman) that each own sub-.250 xwOBA against RH bats. Given Caminero’s swing-and-miss profile and Tampa’s low implied total, Boston sees few run-producing chances.

Orrico also grabbed Junior Caminero over 1.5 total bases at +140 in the Trop. He pointed to Yankees rookie Will Warren’s rocky 5.14 ERA, 11% walk rate, and just 18% whiff rate as evidence the right‑hander is nibbling and falling behind, the exact profile Caminero punishes. Tampa’s dome plays small to straightaway left where Caminero’s pull power lives, so Orrico expects at least one loud double or long ball to cash the ticket.

Data Skrive identified Junior Caminero as a key Rays player to consider for home run bets given his team-leading power numbers. Caminero currently leads Tampa Bay with four home runs this season, positioning him well for home-run betting markets and DFS tournaments where home runs are disproportionately rewarded.

Eric Lindquist discusses Junior Caminero's huge improvement in plate discipline during fall ball in the Dominican Republic, significantly benefitting his hitting approach. Although Caminero was previously overly aggressive last season, Lindquist points out he showed a noticeable increase in selectivity and patience in fall league play. Caminero's current betting line (+240) feels slightly off market according to Lindquist, and he's eagerly awaiting a more advantageous betting number on the walks prop when more sportsbooks post their lines. This disciplined approach makes Caminero an attractive betting play once better odds become available.
