Today's Best Home Run Props

Jordan Walker to Hit a Home Run (+520)

Is Jordan Walker finally living up to his elite prospect status? Time will tell. But he's certainly off to a quality start to 2026, and I like him to go yard today.

Walker has two dingers on the year and is posting some gaudy batted-ball numbers, including a 47.6% hard-hit rate and 42.9% fly-ball rate. He's also got an 11.8% walk rate, so all in all, he just looks like a much improved hitter thus far.

He'll see Washington Nationals starter Zack Littell. A righty, Littell posted slight reverse splits in 2025, giving up 1.82 jacks per nine innings to right-handed hitters.

After Littell leaves the game, Walker will take his hacks against a Washington bullpen that is next to last in xFIP.

Brandon Lowe to Hit a Home Run (+400)

Brandon Lowe has a nice matchup today against German Marquez.

Marquez owns a putrid 5.33 SIERA since the start of 2024. While pitching his home games at Coors certainly didn't help him, Marquez actually gave up a higher wOBA on the road (.398) than at home (.387) last season.

Against left-handed bats last year, Marquez allowed a .393 wOBA and 1.70 bombs per nine.

Lowe is off to a red-hot start, posting a .442 wOBA and 45.8% fly-ball rate en route to three homers. All three long balls have come versus righties, and he recorded a .369 wOBA against RHPs last year. He can do damage against Marquez.

Kerry Carpenter to Hit a Home Run (+360)

Kerry Carpenter can be a streaky hitter. He's gone deep in two straight games, and I'm intrigued by his Monday matchup with Minnesota Twins' right-hander Joe Ryan.

Ryan is a quality pitcher, but he's always surrendered a lot of fly balls. His fly-ball rate was 48.6% in 2025, and it's 60.0% so far this campaign. That makes him a little more homer-prone than most top pitchers, with Ryan giving up 1.37 home runs per nine last year.

Carpenter has a 47.1% fly-ball rate in 2026, so he needs no help getting the ball into the air. He had a .345 wOBA and 47.2% fly-ball rate with the platoon advantage a season ago.

On top of that, the Twins' bullpen holds the sixth-worst xFIP so far.
