The MLB home run prop bets for August 2 are up and running. While the list is not surprising, a few players are poised to crank their first home run this season. The race continues, but Aaron Judge is not leading the league as Arizona Diamondbacks star Eugenio Suarez stays on top of the board. Suarez smashed five home runs this season, and Judge is trailing with four.
Top 5 MLB Home Run Prop Bets
5) Elly De La Cruz +350
The Cincinnati Reds star is taking this slow this season. The king of stolen bases already cranked two home runs. Elly De La Cruz has only one stolen base so far. The star slugger is expected to play a vital role for his team. Cruz smashed 25 home runs in 2024, and he’s expected to touch 30 this season. The talented slugger beat Shohei Ohtani in stolen bases last year with 67.
4) Max Muncy +400
Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Max Muncy had limited at-bats last season due to his injury. Muncy is healthy and is ready to have another World Series run. The All-Star has not hit a home run this MLB season after 21 appearances at the plate. The Dodgers are undefeated and will finish their series against the Atlanta Braves. Max Muncy is favored to hit his first home run of the season today.
3) Alec Bohm +550

The 2024 MLB Home Run Derby participant started well but had a downfall towards the end. Bohm was limited to 15 home runs last season. With his future on the line with the Phillies, this season is where he needs to prove his worth. Bohm has not cranked one yet, and he’s favored to hit one tonight against the Colorado Rockies.
2) Jazz Chisholm Jr. +650
Be it the Torpedo bats or Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s charisma, the Yankees are off to a fine start. Chisholm smashed three home runs already. The talented slugger helped the Yankees win, but their last game against the Diamondbacks recorded their first loss in the league. The odds favor Chisholm to hit his fourth home run tonight.
1) Jarren Duran +700
Jarren Duran was a hero for the Boston Red Sox last MLB season. He smashed 21 home runs and stood up for the team when they needed him. Duran is eyeing a playoff run with the team. He’s yet to hit his first home run this season, but the odds are finally intact for him to cross the fence at Camden Yards.
Several stars will join the home run leaderboard, especially since many are considering using Torpedo bats. Despite the controversy, more players want to try out the new bats.
