Hitting a home run is difficult in the MLB, but it's something that will happen almost without fail in a majority of games. Even on Thursday, when a few teams are off to travel, there will be more than a few homers. Sports bettors have the chance to try and predict who will do so, with the longer odds yielding better winnings. To that end, we've got the best bets from DraftKings today. Yesterday, one of our picks hit a home run.
Best MLB home run prop bets for September 19
5) Carlos Correa: +550
Carlos Correa has not yet hit a home run since coming off the injured list, but it's only been three games. He could easily break out quickly, and the Minnesota Twins star has a good matchup with Joey Cantillo (2-3, 4.99 ERA) of the Cleveland Guardians.
4) Kyle Tucker: +340
Kyle Tucker has one home run in the last seven days, which is his first since returning from the injured list. The Houston Astros star is rounding into form, and he has a good matchup with Jose Suarez (1-2, 6.80 ERA) and the Los Angeles Angels.
3) Aaron Judge: +290
After breaking out of his 16-game slump, Aaron Judge hit two home runs in three games to reach 53 for the season. The New York Yankees slugger has been held in the park in the last two, so he's due. He faces Seattle Mariners' Logan Gilbert (7-11, 3.24 ERA) tonight.
2) Yordan Alvarez: +270
Yordan Alvarez has two home runs in his last seven games and 34 for the season. Quietly, he's putting up a career year and is approaching his career high for home runs. Today, the Houston Astros slugger gets to take on Jose Suarez (1-2, 6.80 ERA) and the Los Angeles Angels in that same good matchup as Tucker.
1) Matt Olson: +165
Matt Olson has the best odds of hitting a home run today. The Atlanta Braves star has one, his only from this month, in the last six games played, and he has 26 for the season. That's far off his season total from 2023, but today he is facing Julian Aguiar (2-0, 4.88 ERA) and the Cincinnati Reds, so he has a good matchup.
