What are Home Run Prop Bets?

Home run prop bets are one of the best ways to get in on the action of betting on MLB. When you bet on a home run prop, you are betting on an MLB hitter to hit a home run. If the player you bet on hits a home run, you win the bet. If they do not, you lose the bet. It's that simple. At most sportsbooks, you can also bet on a player to hit multiple home runs for extraordinarily long odds.

Even the best MLB home run hitters only hit a home run in roughly one-third of their games, and the odds reflect this. It is also crucial to price in weather conditions as wind blowing in certain directions can drastically affect players' true odds of hitting a dinger. This is why betting on an individual player to hit a home run delivers long odds payouts when you do win.

How to Read Home Run Prop Bets

Reading the odds attached to home run prop bets is straightforward. This betting market works just like any other, with the only difference being that essentially all bets are made at plus-money.

For example, let's say I want to bet on Aaron Judge to hit a home run for the New York Yankees today at +350 odds. Suppose I place the Judge HR prop for $10. If Judge goes yard, I receive a $35 profit, and my $10 stake is credited back to my account. If Judge does not hit a homer, I lose my stake. It is truly that simple.

You will rarely find betting lines that are below +100 odds associated with MLB home run props. The primary time you will see them, however, is if a sportsbook offers a market for a player not to hit a home run. In this case, you might see as high as -1000 odds.

Does a Player Need to Start for Home Run Prop Bets?

There is some nuance with home run prop bets that you must understand before betting on this market. Each sportsbook is different with how it approaches voiding or refusing to void prop bets on home runs.

For example, FanDuel's rules for MLB home run props indicate that a wager will not be voided if the player records an at-bat during the game. This means that even if the player does not draw the start and then makes a pinch-hit appearance later on, your bet loses if the player does not hit a home run. This can be pretty harsh in some cases because if you bet on a star player's home run prop, there is a solid chance they make a pinch-hit appearance late in the game, even if they did not draw the start.

On the other hand, DraftKings voids all MLB home run prop wagers when you bet on a player who does not draw the start. So, in the scenario above, if a player comes in late in the game for a pinch-hit appearance and goes yard, you do not receive the winnings from the bet as it would have already been voided. There are certainly some drawbacks to this, but in general, it provides a layer of protection to your bankroll if a player you bet on is set to have limited opportunities to hit a homer throughout a game.

This is an extremely important aspect of betting on MLB home run props. Every sportsbook operates under a different set of rules regarding this betting market, and understanding how each one works is crucial for betting on home run props. Generally, the sports betting apps that are most lenient when unforeseen circumstances take effect are the ones you want to bet on home runs at.

MLB Home Run Props FAQs

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding MLB Home Run Prop betting. If you consider betting on home runs, remember to bet responsibly. If you have a gambling problem, please refer to our responsible gaming page for resources.

What are Home Run Prop Bets?

Home run prop bets are wagers you can make on MLB players to hit a home run. In most cases, these bets are made as longshots that range in odds given the player's propensity, or lack thereof, to hit a home run.

What if the player that I bet to hit a home run does not start?

If the player you bet on to hit a home run does not start, the way your bet is approached depends on the sportsbook. Read the terms and conditions for home run props at the sportsbook where you place your bet at. Some sports betting sites void your bet if the player does not draw the start, while others only void the bet if the player does not record an at-bat.

Which sportsbook has the best home run odds?

When we reviewed the best MLB sportsbooks, we found that the best average home run odds relative to the competition were at DraftKings Sportsbook. Most sportsbooks follow roughly the same odds for a player to hit a home run, but DraftKings consistently beats out other betting apps by a few percentage points. For example, you might see +400 odds for a player at FanDuel and +425 odds at DraftKings.

Can I parlay multiple players' home run odds together?

Yes, you can absolutely parlay home run odds together. While this is certainly a longshot proposition given the difficulty of accurately predicting home run hitters, you can earn a significant payout if your picks win. For example, you can parlay the odds for Bobby Witt Jr., Fernando Tatis Jr., and Shohei Ohtani all to hit home runs on the same day. Instead of betting each of these players individually at roughly +400 odds, you can get upwards of +9000 odds on a parlay.

Who are some of the most popular players to bet on home run props?

Check out the list below for some of the top MLB players to bet on this season to hit a home run:
