Today’s best MLB Home Run Prop Bets
#5: Chase DeLauter +690
Since being named to the Cleveland Guardians’ Opening Day roster to begin the 2026 season, Chase DeLauter has established himself as an important player for the team. The outfielder has five home runs and 16 RBIs to his name.
We could see him improve his numbers as the Guardians face off against Drew Rasmussen and the Tampa Bay Rays at home on Wednesday.
#4: Mike Trout +403
After an underwhelming 2025 season, it looks like Mike Trout is back to his best. The three-time AL MVP has recorded nine home runs and 20 RBIs for the year, and will be looking to add to his tally against Erick Fedde and the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.
#3: Ben Rice +346
Ben Rice has enjoyed an incredible start to the 2026 season, and the first baseman is one of the hottest hitters in the major leagues at the moment.
Rice is batting .309 with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs.
#2: Fernando Tatis Jr. +312
One of the San Diego Padres’ most influential players, Fernando Tatis Jr. is yet to get going from an offensive standpoint this season. The Dominican outfielder is still waiting for his first homer of the year, but that could change against Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs.
#1: Shohei Ohtani +216
A four-time MVP award winner, Shohei Ohtani is one of the best hitters in baseball and it is no surprise to see him top this list.
The Japanese superstar has six home runs and 13 RBIs to his name and it may be worth backing him to add to his home run tally against Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
