As the MLB season enters the second half, things are starting to get serious. With the trade deadline now less than two weeks away, the next few weeks will be a make-or-break situation for a variety of teams.
Thankfully, many teams boast some sluggers who are fully capable of turning things around on a dime for their team. After a four-day break from MLB action, today we will be examining the stars with the best chances of going deep on July 19, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Top MLB Home Run Prop Bets - July 19
Bobby Witt Jr: +340
Entering the All-Star break, Bobby Witt Jr. was one of the hottest hitters in MLB. Over the two weeks preceding the break, the Kansas City Royals shortstop was hitting .405/.400/.703 with an OPS of 1.103, one of the best in baseball.

As his team gets ready to play the White Sox this weekend, watch out for Witt Jr. to add to his eight home runs against the divisional foe that he has hit thus far over his MLB career.
Kyle Schwarber: +340
Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber's .249 batting average is his highest since 2021, and he currently leads the NL in walks with 65 of them. In 2022, Schwarber hit 46 home runs, leading the league in the category. Now, the 31 year-old will seek to add to his 19 bombs as his team takes on the Pirates.
Gunnar Henderson: +320
2024 MLB Home Run Derby participant Gunnar Henderson can certainly drive the baseball. Freshly 23 years of age, Henderson's 78 runs scored currently leads baseball, and his 28 home runs lead the Baltimore Orioles, who as a team boast the most big flies in baseball.

Heliot Ramos: +450
Since June 20, Heliot Ramos has been the top offensive producer for the San Francisco Giants. Over that span of time, the 24 year-old Cuban has contributed with 5 home runs and 15 RBIs. Ramos and the Giants will take on the Rockies on Friday, a team against whom Heliot Ramos already has a home run this season.

Juan Soto: +320
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto hit 3 home runs and 5 RBIs in the ten games before the All-Star break. Though his team has slid down the standings, Soto remains a top offensive threat. Moreover, the 23 homers clobbered by the three-time Silver Slugger in 2024 puts him on pace to surpass the career-high 35 long balls that he registered last year.
