Top MLB Home Run Props Today

Bobby Witt Jr. 1+ Home Run (+359)

It took Witt Jr. a long time to hit his first home run of the season in 2026. In fact, the All-Star had zero long balls after his first 27 games. Still, once the seal was broken — all those struggles were an afterthought. Since April 26, Witt Jr. has collected nine home runs and a .211 ISO across 205 plate appearances. For the season as a whole, Witt Jr. possesses 95th percentile average exit velocity (93.3) and a 93rd percentile expected wOBA (.384). You probably don’t need me telling you this, but the 26-year-old is one of the most talented baseball players on the planet. On Tuesday, he’ll draw an opposite-hand matchup with Foster Griffin. Like every Nationals starter, Griffin gives up his share of loud contact. An eighth percentile opponent barrel rate (11.8%) has translated into surrendering 2.00 long balls per nine to right-handed batters. Woof.

Carson Benge 1+ Home Run (+488)

There’s two ways to back the Mets’ home run props on Tuesday: The smart way and the fun way. The former is accomplished by simply betting on Juan Soto (+195) to go deep in an amazing matchup against Brady Singer. However, as a rule of thumb, I’m never really looking to write up a home run prop that has shorter odds than 2/1. So, let’s pivot to New York’s other potent left-handed bat. Benge has been quite good since shaking off an early rookie slump in April. In fact, in his last 176 plate appearances, the outfielder is slashing .294/.358/.444 with a 129 wRC+. As the Mets’ leadoff man in a road game, Benge will likely get five opportunities to take advantage of the hitter-friendly dimensions of Great American Ball Park — with a majority of those at-bats coming with the aforementioned Singer on the mound. It’s been a real struggle for the veteran RHP in recent weeks, with Singer having conceded 14 home runs in his past eight outings. It’s a span of time where opposing LHBs have combined to hit 4.03 long balls per nine with a .696 slugging percentage.

Joc Pederson 1+ Home Run (+445)

I think a lot of people were wondering if Pederson’s career was over after a very underwhelming campaign in 2025. I mean, the 34-year-old doesn’t play much defense. He’s also a straight platoon bat. If you’re not crushing RHPs, what exactly are you bringing to the table? Fortunately, the former Dodgers prospect has turned things around in 2026 — specifically in the past four weeks. Dating back to May 19, Pederson is slashing .297/.373/.649 with a .351 ISO and a 177 wRC+ in 84 plate appearances. That span of time includes six of Pederson’s nine home runs hit this season. In layman’s terms, the man is on fire. He’ll get a chance to keep the good vibes rolling along on Tuesday, as the Rangers will square-of with the right-handed Zebby Matthews. The 26-year-old is basically the perfect opponent when hunting a long ball. Matthews is an extreme fly ball pitcher (48.1%) who enters this evening’s start with a sixth percentile opponent barrel rate (12.8%). In his last appearance on June 11, Matthews gave up three homers at Comerica Park. That’s hard to do.
