Today's Best Home Run Props

Aaron Judge to Hit a Home Run (+260)

A's at Yankees, 1:36 p.m. ET

At home against a lefty, Judge is in a good spot to leave the yard at homer-friendly Yankee Stadium.

Judge has gone deep 3 times in 11 games this season, homering in 27.3% of his contests — the second-highest rate among today's hitters.

He also has a nice matchup with Jeffrey Springs, a lefty. Springs gave up a 45.8% fly-ball rate last year, and righties hit 1.66 homers per nine off him.

Matt Wallner to Hit a Home Run (+420)

Twins vs. Tigers, 1:41 p.m.

Wallner is off to a strong start and represents the best power value in today's home run market among Minnesota Twins hitters.

He's connected 3 times in 12 games, homering in 25% of his outings in 2026. At +420, you're getting pretty long odds on a player who has legitimately been mashing at the dish.

The Detroit Tigers send Jack Flaherty to the mound, but Wallner's raw power makes him a compelling play. Wallner racked up a 39.6% hard-hit rate and 51.6% fly-ball rate versus right-handers last season.
