Today's Best Home Run Props

Yordan Alvarez to Hit a Home Run (+360)

Yordan Alvarez is off to a miserable start. Landen Roupp presents a good opportunity for Yordan to get on track.

Roupp has some impressive minor-league numbers on his resume, but he didn't do all that well over 50 1/3 MLB frames a year ago, registering a 4.39 SIERA. While Roupp doesn't give up many fly balls (29.6% fly-ball rate in 2024), I'm interested in picking on him mostly due to his lack of strikeouts (21.7% K rate). He really struggled to get Ks against lefties, posting a measly 15.5% strikeout rate in the split.

Alvarez had a .386 wOBA and 50.3% fly-ball rate with the platoon advantage in 2024, so he can elevate the ball against anyone. Despite a .167 wOBA so far this season, Alvarez owns a 54.5% fly-ball rate and is capable of opening his 2025 homer account today.

Alec Bohm to Hit a Home Run (+600)

Alec Bohm has pretty good numbers against lefties, and he's got long tater odds in a matchup with southpaw Kyle Freeland.

With the platoon advantage last season, Bohm mashed his way to a 40.8% hard-hit rate and 38.8% fly-ball rate en route to a .347 wOBA.

Freeland dealt in his 2025 debut, but he's been a blah pitcher for a long time. Across 2023 and 2024, he pitched to a 4.92 SIERA and 15.3% strikeout rate. He actually allowed a higher wOBA on the road (.378) last year than he did at Coors (.334) in addition to a higher rate of homers on the road (1.99 per nine innings) than at home (1.48)

Facing a lefty and swinging at hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park -- the fifth-best park for homers -- Bohm checks a few boxes, and I'm intrigued by him at these +600 odds.

Shohei Ohtani to Hit a Home Run (+200)

While +200 is short homer odds, Shohei Ohtani is in a smash spot tonight.

The two-way star has a home date against righty Bryce Elder. In 2024, Elder posted a meh 4.12 SIERA and 20.4% strikeout rate across 49 2/3 innings. He gave up a 39.1% hard-hit rate and 1.45 homers per nine innings. Lefties mauled him to the tune of a .401 wOBA and 1.75 homers per nine.

Enter Ohtani, a lefty bat who put up a massive .462 wOBA, 48.4% hard-hit rate and 43.2% fly-ball rate against right-handers in 2024. At home versus righties, Ohtani launched 18 homers over 232 plate appearances.

This is a pretty great spot for Ohtani to record his third dinger of 2025.
