Monday's Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Kody Clemens (+300)
Tampa Bay’s Zack Littell remains a pitcher to target in this market. The veteran right-hander has surrendered 14 home runs in his last nine starts. A Triple-A stadium with distances of 314 feet to the right-field foul pole and 318 feet to the left-field foul pole serving as his home field isn’t doing him any favors. Opposing hitters are cashing in on Littell’s mistakes as he checks in 344th in barrel rate (14.3%) this season.
This is a spot to bet on a hot bat. Kody Clemens has excelled since being traded from Philadelphia to Minnesota. The utility man is slashing .319/.407/.723 with 10 extra-base knocks and nine runs scored in 19 contests as a Twin. Klemens has also posted a 73.3% hard-hit percentage and an average exit velocity of 97.6 miles per hour (MPH) during that stretch. Expect him to continue mashing against Littell.
Seiya Suzuki (+450)
The Dodgers and Yankees have dominated power statistics this year, but the Cubs are right on their heels. Manager Craig Counsell’s squad ranks third in home runs (78) and OPS (.796). Outfielder Seiya Suzuki has been Chicago’s top weapon versus left-handed pitching in 2025. The Japanese slugger has logged an impressive .370/.444/.826 slash line with six homers and 18 RBI across 46 at-bats facing a southpaw.
That bodes well for Suzuki’s chances of going deep off Colorado starter Carson Palmquist. The left-handed rookie has recorded a mediocre 11.88 ERA and 2.52 WHIP through his opening two MLB starts. That includes dingers allowed to Trea Turner and Bryce Harper, who both crushed the ball at least 424 feet. Suzuki’s experience gives him a huge advantage in a showdown with a hurler making his first trip to Wrigley Field.
Hunter Goodman (+475)
Let’s stay focused on the National League clash in the Windy City by switching dugouts. Colorado’s offense draws a beneficial matchup on Monday as well. Chicago starter Jameson Taillon has been torched for nine home runs over his past four outings alone. A failure to generate whiffs is hurting the former first-round pick, considering he has conceded nine homers in at-bats where he gets ahead with a 0-1 count.
The improvement displayed by catcher Hunter Goodman has been a beacon of hope in a disastrous campaign for the Rockies. The 25-year-old has done his finest work away from Coors Field, batting .300 with a team-high five blasts on the road (24 games). Keep in mind Goodman’s tally of 19 extra-base hits trails only Seattle’s Cal Raleigh for the best mark among catchers. Trust him to wait for the perfect pitch and quiet the crowd with a moon shot.
