Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 5 picks including Aaron Judge, Kyle Schwarber, and more for September 27th, 2024

Hitting a home run is difficult against MLB pitching, but it still happens pretty much every game. Predicting which MLB stars will hit them is a challenge that depends on quite a few factors, such as pitching matchup, recent form, and so much more. Today, we've compiled DraftKings' best bets to look out for.

Best MLB home run prop bets for September 27

5) Ketel Marte: +340

Ketel Marte has 35 home runs this season (Imagn)

Ketel Marte has been a terrific hitter all season for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has 35 home runs in an underrated display of power. Three have come in the last week. Today, he faces Yu Darvish (6-3, 3.18 ERA) and the San Diego Padres in a key final series opener amongst two likely playoff teams.

4) Kyle Tucker: +320

Kyle Tucker might hit a home run today (Imagn)

Kyle Tucker has been red-hot since coming off the Injured List. The Houston Astros star has three home runs in the last week and 23 for the season. Today, he faces the Cleveland Guardians and Joey Cantillo (2-3, 4.63 ERA is on the mound) to try and slow him down in a potential postseason preview.

3) Aaron Judge: +265

If you'd picked Aaron Judge to homer in the last five games, you would have been right. He's hit one in five straight, and it's hard to pick him to stop today. The New York Yankees slugger has 58 on the year and is facing Jared Jones (6-8, 4.14 ERA) and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

2) Kyle Schwarber: +245

Kyle Schwarber has 38 home runs this season (Imagn)

Kyle Schwarber once again ranks among the league leaders in home runs with 38. The Philadelphia Phillies superstar has hit 10 in 22 games this month, so he's hot right now. Today, he faces the Washington Nationals. Trevor Williams (5-1, 2.19 ERA) will get the start and try to slow Schwarber down.

1) Shohei Ohtani: +200

Pick Shohei Ohtani to hit a home run (Imagn)

Shohei Ohtani has slowed down a bit, but he still has 53 home runs for the season and nine during September. He is virtually impossible to slow down at this point, and it's unlikely Cal Quantrill (8-10, 4.72 ERA) can do so since the game is in Coors Field, the most notorious hitter's park in MLB.
