Hitting a home run is the ideal outcome for every MLB at-bat. Lesser outcomes can be successful, but it guarantees at least one run when no other batted ball does. It is also one of the most popular prop bets in sports gambling since home runs occur multiple times every single day. Here's who you should expect to go deep today.
Top MLB home run prop bets July 9
5) Elly De La Cruz +390
Apart from leading the league in stolen bases, Elly De La Cruz can hit a ball 120 mph to go 450 feet. He can add to his 15 home runs for the Cincinnati Reds in today's fixture.

4) Yordan Alvarez +390
Any bad pitch thrown to Yordan Alvarez can and usually does end up in the seats over 400 feet away. He has had 19 blasts to date, so he's been in good form this year. The Houston Astros slugger has two in the last week, so he's hot right now and could add to his total tonight.
3) Marcell Ozuna +270
Marcell Ozuna is one of the most prolific home run hitters in baseball right now. He has 23 home runs, which is tied for fourth in baseball. The Atlanta Braves DH is a good bet to hit a home run on any given day, but especially today since he's hit two in a week and is in good form.
2) Rafael Devers +190
As the New York Yankees learned over the weekend, Rafael Devers is in rare form. He knocked in three home runs during the three-game series, and the Boston Red Sox star is likely to add another today and continue his barrage into the All-Star break.
1) Aaron Judge +185
Aaron Judge leads all of baseball in home runs, but he hasn't hit one in the last five games. That's well off his usual pace, so he's due for another. With a relatively good matchup on deck, he is, as he should be most days, the best bet to hit a home run on July 9.
