Top 5 MLB Home Run Prop Bet Leaders

Adolis Garcia +425

Of the 18 home runs hit by Adolis Garcia this season, only a pair thus far came in July. As such, the Texas Rangers outfielder is due for a big fly.

Now a .210/.273/.389 hitter on the season, the Cuban has seen a marginal decrease in his power. However, Garcia does have a career home run in three plate appearances against Tanner Houck, who will throw for the Red Sox against Texas on Saturday.

Anthony Santander +350

Anthony Santander's 10 home runs in the past month tied him for most in MLB in that span of time. A .246 hitter on the season, the Baltimore Orioles outfielder is just one home run shy of matching his career figure of 33, which was obtained in 2022. A first-time All-Star, Santander will enter Saturday's game against Cleveland riding a four-game RBI streak.

Shohei Ohtani +225

In his last twelve games, Shohei Ohtani has chipped in with four home runs and 10 RBIs for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Currently the NL leader in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging and OPS, it is never a bad idea to bet on Ohtani going deep.

Bryce Harper +260

He may be just 5-for-51 in his past 12 games, but despite hitting .098 during that time, the Philadelphia Phillies first baseman has still hit three home runs and six RBIs. This season, Harper leads his club in home runs, RBIs, and OPS - with 24, 67 and .900 respectively.

Against Saturday's opponents, the Seattle Mariners, Harper has hit a career .389 with 4 home runs in four MLB games against the AL West club.

Bobby Witt Jr. +290

Over his past thirteen games, Bobby Witt Jr. has hit an even .500 with three home runs and 13 RBIs. The first player in MLB history to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases in his first three seasons, Witt Jr. now leads all of MLB in runs, hits, and batting average.
