Today’s Five Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets
#5 Pete Crow‑Armstrong (+260)
Since the Red Sox series, Pete Crow-Armstrong has quietly picked up steam, hitting .375 with four extra-base hits in his last 16 at-bats. Even though the walks haven’t come lately, his contact quality has been excellent, posting a 1.188 OPS over those four games.
On the year, he’s up to 26 homers and 28 steals, showing a rare combo potential. He faces Seth Lugo (6–5, 2.94 ERA), who’s been consistent but allows hard contact to aggressive lefties like PCA.
With the power-speed dynamic in full bloom and a favorable matchup, Pete offers great upside at +260 odds today.
#4 Ryan McMahon (+550)
Ryan McMahon doesn’t always light up the box score, but when he connects, it matters. He crushed a three-run homer last night against the same Cardinals, continuing his role as a sneaky power threat.
Despite a modest .219 average on the MLB season, McMahon has clubbed 16 homers and remains a key left-handed bat in Colorado’s lineup.
Today, he faces Andre Pallante, who brings a 4.71 ERA and has struggled against lefties all year. With momentum from last night and Coors Field playing small, McMahon is a high-upside swing at long +550 odds.
#3 Eugenio Suarez (+330)
Eugenio Suarez is in one of the hottest home run stretches of the MLB season. Over his last seven games, he’s smashed as many home runs, including three separate multi-homer performances, and driven in 11 runs while slashing a ridiculous .375/.483/1.292 with a 1.774 OPS.
Sitting at 36 homers on the year, Suarez draws Brandon Walter, a lefty with a solid 3.66 ERA but limited experience against elite right-handed power bats.
With Suarez seeing beach balls at the plate and owning a 17.2% walk rate in this span, he’s not just swinging for power, he’s locked in. At +330 odds, you’re getting elite form, huge upside and a bat that can win your ticket in just one swing.
#2 Christian Walker (+380)
Christian Walker has quietly heated up again, going 7-for-17 with a home run, four RBIs and a 1.147 OPS over his last four games. He’s seeing pitches well, posting a strong .500 OBP in that span and keeping his strikeouts low.
This MLB season, he’s launched 13 homers with 51 RBIs while maintaining a .235 average. Today, he faces Brandon Pfaadt, who’s struggled to limit power all year with a 4.82 ERA and frequent command issues in hitter’s counts.
With Walker’s timing dialed in and his bat generating consistent damage, Walker is a sneaky good value play at +380 to go deep again.
#1 Shohei Ohtani (+135)
Shohei Ohtani is in one of those zones where every swing feels like a moment. He’s riding a four-game MLB home run streak, lifting his season total to 36 with 69 RBIs, 95 runs scored and a .274 average.
His elite plate coverage and raw power are on full display, and now he gets a crack at Chris Paddack, who’s sporting a 5.14 ERA and has been vulnerable to barrels from left-handed sluggers.
Ohtani has crushed right-handed pitching all season, and given the matchup, his current rhythm, and his recent stretch of dominance, +135 odds feel like a strong bet for a fifth straight MLB home run.
