Top 5 MLB Home Run Prop Bet Leaders - July 24
Marcell Ozuna: +270
The 79 RBIs recorded by Atlanta Braves DH Marcell Ozuna in 2024 represent the most in the National League. Moreover, since the first of July, Ozuna has hit .359 with 7 home runs and 12 RBIs. Ozuna will be looking to further help his club as they play the Reds in their series finale on Wednesday.
"MARCELL OZUNA IS THE FIRST PLAYER IN ATLANTA BRAVES HISTORY WITH 25+ HOME RUNS AND 75+ RBI BEFORE THE ALL-STAR BREAK" - Kevin Keneely
Jarren Duran: +475
Though his Red Sox suffered a series sweep last weekend, Duran went 6-for-12 with 2 home runs and 6 RBIs against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The man responsible for the AL's winning home run at the recent All-Star Game, Duran's 1.182 OPS over the past fifteen days leads his club.
Salvador Perez: +340
Now 34 years of age, Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez's 18 home runs this season puts him on pace for his best career since 2021, when the Venezuelan led MLB in home runs and RBIs. Additionally, Salvy's .279/.340/.472 slash line is his best in nearly a decade.
"Salvador Perez and Hunter Renfroe go back-to-back for the @Royals" - MLB
Corey Seager: +290
Though his .261 batting average is a step down from his previous MLB campaigns, Rangers shortstop Corey Seager has still logged a team-best 18 home runs. Seager, the 2024 World Series MVP, only has three home runs in July and will seek to hit his fourth career homer in his nineteenth career game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.
Vladimir Guerrero: +475
A solo home run off of the bat of Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was not enough for his team to avoid a loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Now a .293 hitter on the season, Guerrero's .841 OPS is his highest since he led MLB in the category back in 2021. On Wednesday, the Canadian-born All-Star will seek his second home run in as many games.
"Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Justin Turner go back-to-back to bring the #BlueJays within a run, 3-2." - Keegan Matheson
