Today's Best Home Run Props

Oneil Cruz to Hit a Home Run (+340)

Nationals at Pirates, 6:41 p.m. ET

Miles Mikolas is taking the ball today for the Washington Nationals, and that makes the Pittsburgh Pirates a good place to look for homer props.

We hit on Brandon Lowe yesterday, and I think this is a good spot for Oneil Cruz -- a fellow Pirates lefty -- to go yard.

Mikolas has a 4.89 SIERA so far this season after recording a 4.83 SIERA a year ago. He's allowed 1.81 jacks per nine innings since the start of 2025, including 3.65 homers per nine so far in this season's small sample. Lefties hammered him last year to the tune of a .345 wOBA and 1.79 homers per nine.

Cruz has massive power and is much better against right-handed hurlers, producing a 44.5% hard-hit rate in the split last campaign. A whopping 19 of his 20 dingers came with the platoon advantage.

Austin Riley to Hit a Home Run (+490)

Marlins at Braves, 7:16 p.m. ET

Miami Marlins righty Max Meyer has shown reverse splits in his career, and that makes Austin Riley an enticing bet at these odds.

For his career, Meyer has fared worse against right-handed hitters (.388) than he has left-handed bats (.323). Righties have tagged him for an eye-popping 2.27 homers per nine.

Enter Riley.

The Atlanta Braves' third baseman is off to a slow start and hasn't yet homered. This is a good spot for him to get on the board. Not only can he take advantage of Meyer's splits, Riley performed better at home (.342 wOBA) last year than on the road (.300).

Wyatt Langford to Hit a Home Run (+540)

Rangers at Athletics, 9:41 p.m. ET

Wyatt Langford has a lot of things going for him today.

He's taking on a lefty, a split in which he registered a .365 wOBA last year.

Said lefty is Jeffrey Springs, who allowed 1.47 homers per nine a season ago, including 2.03 per nine at home to righties.

Speaking of the venue, Langford was better on the road (.341 wOBA) than at home in 2025 (.332 wOBA), and it's not just any road venue tonight, it's the A's homer-friendly temporary stadium.

It all adds up to Langford being my favorite home run bet for Dinger Tuesday.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does +210 mean on an MLB home run prop bet?

A +210 line means a $100 bet returns $210 in profit if the player homers. You can bet any amount — a $10 bet at +210 returns $21 in profit. The number reflects the implied probability the sportsbook assigns to the event (roughly 32% for +210 odds).

What happens to my FanDuel HR prop if the player doesn't start?

FanDuel's policy is that an HR prop bet will not be voided if the player records at least one at-bat — even as a pinch hitter. If they don't get any at-bat, the bet is typically voided. Always check FanDuel's official terms before placing your wager.

Can I parlay home run props together on FanDuel?

Yes. FanDuel allows you to parlay multiple HR props as a standard parlay or as part of a Same Game Parlay (SGP) within a single game. All legs must win for the parlay to pay out.

What factors matter most when betting MLB home run props?

Some of the most important factors are: the hitter's recent HR rate and raw power profile, the opposing pitcher's home run rate allowed, ballpark dimensions and park factors, wind direction and game-time temperature, and batter-vs-pitcher handedness splits.
