Home runs. Long balls. Bleacher reachers. Whatever you want to call them, people love watching and betting on home run props during baseball games. So much so, we\u2019ve got a whole article dedicated to just that.<\/p>\n
Here are my top three home run prop picks on DraftKings Sportsbook for Tuesday\u2019s slate: Cody Bellinger, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Cam Smith.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s break them down.<\/p>\n
Top MLB Home Run Props<\/p>\n
Cody Bellinger 1+ Home Run (+433)<\/a><\/p>\n Someone on the Yankees is hitting a home run tonight. I\u2019m sure of that. It\u2019s just that Yankee Stadium and Aaron Civale don\u2019t seem like a particularly good match. Across 2024 and 2025, Civale surrendered 1.54 opponent home runs per nine \u2014 the fifth-most of any pitcher with at least 250 innings thrown in that span. It probably doesn\u2019t bode well for the veteran that his average fastball velocity was down in his first outing of 2026, either. Civale already ranked in the 18th percentile of the category last season, so any further dip is a massive red flag. Obviously, there\u2019s a handful of New York bats that find themselves in a good spot on Tuesday due to the presence of Civale, but I\u2019m going to take my chances with Cody Bellinger. The former NL MVP was the best version of himself at Yankee Stadium in 2025, slashing .302\/.356\/.544 with a 152 wRC+. Bellinger also hit 18 of his 29 home runs while playing in the Bronx. The 30-year-old is off to a hot start this season, with a .410 expected wOBA in his first 40 plate appearances. Look for Bellinger to keep the good time rolling this evening.<\/p>\n
