Home runs take center stage on Tuesday. Struggling opposing pitchers and hitter-friendly conditions create plenty of intriguing opportunities in the home run prop market. Here are our top five home run prop bets for Tuesday.
Today’s MLB Home Run Prop Bets
•
5. Manny Machado (+449) (Padres vs Diamondbacks)
Manny Machado has a strong opportunity to go deep when the Padres visit the Diamondbacks. Machado has consistently handled southpaws well, particularly when they leave off-speed pitches in hittable locations.
Diamondbacks’ lefty starter Eduardo Rodriguez uses a cutter-changeup combination that can generate weak contact when executed. However, lapses in command often lead to hard-hit balls. Expect Machado to blast his 24th home run of 26 at Chase Field.
4. JJ Bleday (+376) (Athletics vs Reds)
JJ Bleday has an opportunity to haunt his former team when the Reds host the Athletics. Facing Oakland starter J.T. Ginn, the lefty hitter enters the matchup in a favorable hitting environment at Great American Ball Park.
Ginn relies heavily on his sinker and changeup. However, his aggressive approach in the strike zone leaves little room for error. If he fails to locate either pitch, Bleday has the bat speed and power to send one into the Cincinnati seats for his 20th homer of the season.
3. Cedric Mullins (+336) (Rays vs Rockies)
The setting couldn’t be much better for Cedric Mullins as the Rays take on the Rockies at Coors Field. The hitter-friendly conditions in Denver enhance home run potential, especially for left-handed batters with natural loft.
Mullins has the bat speed to punish mistakes and the swing path to maximize the carry provided by the thin air. Expect Mullins 14th dinger of the season.
2. Brandon Lowe (+300) (Pirates vs Brewers)
Brandon Lowe has an enticing home run matchup as the Pirates visit the Brewers at American Family Field. The left-handed slugger combines impressive exit velocity with a swing built to elevate the baseball.
Lowe has consistently punished elevated fastballs and hanging breaking balls. As such, Milwaukee’s pitching staff will need to avoid mistakes in the strike zone. One misplaced pitch could be all he needs to clear the fences for the 24th time in 2026.
1. Max Muncy (+295) (Dodgers vs Cubs)
Wrigley Field presents an excellent opportunity for Dodgers slugger Max Muncy to go deep. Muncy brings a patient offensive approach and plenty of pull-side power into the matchup against Cubs starter Javier Assad.
If Assad leaves a cutter over the heart of the plate or fails to bury an off-speed pitch, Muncy has the raw power to blast his 22nd dinger of the season.
