As the MLB action heads into a new week, baseball fans look forward to watching some of the biggest hitters in action against favorable pitching matchups on Monday.
We list the players expected to hit a home run on Monday.
Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets:
•
#5. Pete Alonso (+419) (Orioles vs Mariners)
The Baltimore Orioles’ four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays concluded with consecutive defeats. The 6-4 defeat in the series finale ended Orioles slugger Pete Alonso’s hitting streak as he went 0-for-3 at the plate.
Despite Alonso’s hitless outing, the All-Star infielder remains one of the most in-form hitters for the Orioles and is expected (+419) to go deep against the Seattle Mariners on Monday for his 14th home run of the season.
#4. Willson Contreras (+333) (Red Sox vs Rays)
Boston Red Sox slugger Willson Contreras has been one of the few bright spots for the AL East franchise amid an underwhelming season. In his first season with the franchise, Contreras is batting .298 with 13 home runs.
Although his two-game home run streak ended against the New York Yankees on Sunday, Contreras is expected (+333) to add to his home run tally in Monday’s series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays.
#3. Ben Rice (+306) (Yankees vs Guardians)
New York Yankees infielder Ben Rice has emerged as their offensive leader this season. Rice’s production at the plate becomes more important for the team as they navigate tough fixtures in the absence of Aaron Judge.
Rice, who has 18 home runs for the season, is expected (+306) to add another homer to his tally against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday.
#2. Mike Trout (+293) (Angels vs Astros)
Veteran Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout is going through a slump as he is hitless in his last four games. The three-time MVP has gone without a home run in his last seven games.
Despite his home run drought, Trout is among the favorites to go deep on Monday night against the Houston Astros.
#1. Nick Kurtz (+274) (Athletics vs Brewers)
The Athletics ended their two-game losing streak against the Houston Astros with a 5-0 win in Sunday’s series finale. Athletics infielder Nick Kurtz hit a two-run homer to open the scoring for his team.
Following his 12th home run of the season against the Astros, Kurtz is expected to add to his tally in Monday’s series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.
