Best MLB home run prop bets
5) Elly De La Cruz +390

Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds is most known for his speed, but there is plenty of power in his bat as well. The Reds will be facing Justin Verlander and the San Francisco Giants, but De La Cruz is always a threat to go deep.
Cincinnati is looking for more power from their young MLB star, and the odds are decent for him to hit a home run on Saturday.
4) Bryce Harper +350

Bryce Harper is one of the best players in MLB, and he is always a threat to hit a home run when he steps into the batter's box.
Harper blasted a home run on Opening Day and he will be looking to get the Phillies off to a 2-0 start with another long ball in Game 2 of the season.
3) Mike Trout +295

Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels is finally healthy again, making him one of the top sluggers in Major League Baseball. The Angels are playing against the Chicago White Sox, a team that is known to give up plenty of home runs. The odds are favorable for Trout to hit a home run on Saturday.
2) Kyle Schwarber +270

Kyle Schwarber is another Phillies slugger who went deep on MLB Opening Day and he is one of the top power hitters in all of baseball. Schwarber and the Phillies will be facing Jake Irvin of the Washington Nationals, and it's a great spot to predict another home run for Schwarber.
1) Aaron Judge +165

Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees led MLB in home runs during the 2024 season and is the most feared hitter in all of baseball. Judge did not homer in the season opener, but look for him to get his first of the season on Mar. 29.
