When it comes to placing wagers on MLB games, selecting home run prop bets could be a strategy for cashing in on large payouts. While home runs don't come often, the odds that come with a single player or parlay of multiple players hitting on a home run prop bet are huge. All odds on this list are provided by DraftKings.
Best home run prop bets for June 28, 2024
#1 Aaron Judge (+175)
Arguably the home run kingpin of the MLB, Aaron Judge is the safest home run prop bet there is.
On Friday, the New York Yankees are set to take on the slumping Toronto Blue Jays with Yusei Kikuchi on the mound. In 23 at-bats against Kikuchi, Judge has clobbered a pair of home runs and posted a .174 batting average.

"Aaron Judge is the top vote-getter in the American League so he's locked in as a starter! It will be Judge's sixth All-Star selection" - @TalkinYanks
#2 Pete Alonso (+400)
The New York Mets and their hard-hitting first baseman Pete Alonso might be another strong choice for bettors.
Alonso will be making his first career appearance against Houston Astros starter Ronel Blanco, so there is no information between the two. That being said, the Mets are red-hot and Alonso is one of the top home run hitters in the league.
#3 Shohei Ohtani (+475)
Much like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani is nearly matchup-proof. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar will lead his club against their divisional rivals, the San Francisco Giants.
Ohtani is a great home run prop bet for today's matchup against the Giants' Logan Webb. Although he has never homered off him in his career, Ohtani owns a .429 batting average against Webb in nine plate appearances.
"Scheduled Shohei Ohtani home run post" - @MLB
#4 Yordan Alvarez (+330)
Another slugger in the New York Mets and Houston Astros matchup worth monitoring is Yordan Alvarez.
The Astros star will bring his potent bat to a showdown with Mets starter Jose Quintana. Alvarez has only had 4 at-bats against Quintana in his career, but the Mets starter has given up 12 home runs this season.
#5 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+425)
It has been a difficult season for the Toronto Blue Jays, but first base slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been red-hot lately.
The All-Star has hit four home runs in his last seven games and could keep that streak going against former Blue Jays Marcus Stroman. At +425 odds on DraftKings, Vladdy could be an intriguing home run prop bet for June 28.
