Tuesday’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Brent Rooker (+310)
Let's pick it up in the Windy City, where the White Sox (4-11) open up a three-game set with the Athletics (6-10). Jeffrey Springs gets the nod for the A's, while the Sox opt for Sean Burke. First pitch is scheduled for 7:40 p.m. ET from Rate Field in Chicago, IL.
Speaking of the wind, it will be a factor in tonight's game. It'll be blowing out to dead center at roughly 12.5 miles per hour (MPH) at first pitch. These are great conditions for Brent Rooker, who has four bombs this season (24th). He's just 2-for-11 (.182) in his last three games, but both hits have gone for extra bases.
Rooker will be looking to take Chicago's Burke deep, and he's done so before. The outfielder is 1-for-3 (.333) against him with a home run. Furthermore, Burke has struggled to keep the ball in the yard in 2025, posting a HR/9 rate of 2.03. That's the fifth-highest mark amongst today's starting pitchers. The right-hander hasn't been in good form either, logging an 11.05 ERA and a 1.91 WHIP in his last two starts (7.1 innings).
Juan Soto (+310)
Moving on, we'll head over to the Twin Cities, where the Twins (5-12) are looking to bounce back after dropping last night's series-opening game to the Mets (11-5) in a 5-1 affair. This interleague clash features a pitching matchup between Tylor Megill and Bailey Ober. First pitch is set for 7:40 p.m. ET from Target Field in Minneapolis, MN.
I like this matchup for Juan Soto tonight. I'm going to sprinkle on him to go yard, as well as look at some of his other player props. The superstar outfielder is hitting .250 out of the gate with two long balls (83rd).
However, it's all about the head-to-head numbers in this one. He'll take on Minnesota's Ober. Soto is 2-for-4 (.500) with a pair of doubles against him in the past. Additionally, Ober enters this game with an underwhelming 7.11 ERA and a 2.13 HR/9 mark. Finally, the wind will also be a factor in this game, as it'll be blowing out to right field at 11.6 MPH around first pitch. Give me Soto to launch his third tank as a member of the Mets.
Adolis Garcia (+370)
Let's wrap things up in the Lone Star State, where the division-leading Angels (9-6) square off against the Rangers (9-7). Yusei Kikuchi will toe the rubber for the Halos, while the Rangers have yet to announce a starter as of this writing. This divisional contest gets underway at 8:05 p.m. ET from Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX.
It hasn't been too fruitful of a start for Adolis Garcia this season, nor the Rangers' offense as a whole. The outfielder enters this game with a .213 average and two home runs (83rd). Garcia is heating up, though, as he's 6-for-20 (3.00) in his last six outings.
Garcia draws a matchup against a left-hander he's quite familiar with in Kikuchi. He's 3-for-9 (.333) against him with two big flies and five RBI. Kikuchi has been prone to the long ball this season, registering a 2.0 HR/9 rate. Overall, the 33-year-old hurler is 0-2 with a 5.00 ERA and a modest 1.28 WHIP. With a +370 payout, I'll take a chance on Garcia to stay hot and deposit one into the bleachers.
