Top 5 MLB Home Run Bets to Keep an Eye On
Today’s field could bear witness to some sensational strikes and our pick of five top MLB home run prop bets showcase a potent blend of ongoing hot runs, power sparks, and attractive pitcher oppositions. It’s time to look out for an in-form Corbin Carroll as he aims to continue his streak of home runs, or turn your eye towards Aaron Judge, eagerly awaiting an upturn after a minor slumber in his form. Joining these batsmen are Mike Trout with his impressive hard-hit record, the consistently forceful Pete Alonso, and Marcell Ozuna who recently stunned with a barrage of home runs, this group offers high energy, game-shifting potential.
Placing fifth we have Corbin Carroll with a betting odd of +220. Carroll is currently on a roll, ‘see ball, hit ball’ seems to be his mantra at the moment. Transitioning from being a speedster for the Diamondbacks, he has now proven to be a real power hitter, maintaining a streak of home runs in the last three games. Today’s game will see him face off against Tanner Gordon of the Rockies, a pitcher with a troubled record of a 6.59 ERA, struggling with allowing opponents to score home runs. Gordon might find himself in hot water facing Carroll, as Carroll’s fast swing and talent to angle on fastballs could prove challenging.
Next in line is the robust Marcell Ozuna with odds standing at +400. After a spectacular display during the Saturday doubleheader when Ozuna swung two home runs to the stands and secured four runs in the second game, he is a batsman to keep an eye on. Today’s game brings him against Cal Quantrill, a pitcher with a shaky 5.21 ERA and a track record of struggling to keep the ball within the field. With his swing in fine form and timing spot on, Ozuna presents a formidable challenge. If his last performance holds any clues, today’s game might witness more explosive plays from this batsman.
Standing at number three is ‘The Polar Bear’ Pete Alonso with odds of +330, a batsman who always poses a threat of a home run as soon as he steps to bat. Yesterday’s game saw the Mets star score a solo home run against Milwaukee, proving his power abilities are still top-notch. Today he’ll be facing off against Quinn Priester, a tough nuts to crack with an impressive 3.15 ERA. But Alonso’s history against good pitchers puts him in good stead and promises to make this a game to watch. With an already impressive record of 26 home runs and 92 RBIs this year, back-to-back home runs are definitely within Alonso’s reach.
Mike Trout secures the second spot with odds of +340. While Trout’s statistics don’t reflect his usual MVP caliber, a different narrative is woven when you dig deeper into his metrics – he’s still exhibiting considerable prowess at hitting the ball hard. Boasting an average exit speed of 91.1 mph, a hard-hit rate of 49.5%, and a barrels per plate appearance rate of 15.5%, Trout continues to exemplify top-tier contact. Squaring off today against Casey Mize, a right-hand pitcher with a decent 3.50 ERA, Trout’s knack for exploiting errors makes this an intimidating duel for Detroit. Currently boasting 20 home runs for the season, Trout is due for another memorable swing, and his sophisticated power profile hints that the wait might just be over today.
Finally, at the top of our list is Aaron Judge with a betting odd of +215. Despite not swinging a home run since his return from an injury hiatus, his impressive pedigree suggests this period of quiet won’t last. The Yankees’ frontman has a very respectable batting average of .339 with 37 home runs, 86 RBIs, and 92 runs this season, demonstrating his proficiency at the plate. Today’s game pits him against Jason Alexander, a right-hander with a 5.97 ERA who’s been having difficulty controlling his adversaries’ hits. Judge’s blend of precise plate discipline and sheer power make him a constant game-changer, and today’s matchup could be the perfect setting for him to hit his first home run since his return.
