No outcome can be guaranteed when betting on sports.Today鈥檚 Five Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets#5. Brandon Lowe (+320)Brandon Lowe could hit a home run today (Credits: IMAGN)Brandon Lowe has been scorching hot lately, slugging 4 homers in his last 6 games while raising his season total to 19 with 50 RBIs. The lefty slugger has torched right-handed pitching all year, and his recent tear includes a .368 average, 1.000 slugging and 1.455 OPS across his last 6 contests.Lowe鈥檚 power metrics back it up too, consistently barreling balls with authority. Tonight, he draws Mitch Spence, who鈥檚 posted a 3.82 ERA but has struggled to avoid barrels against left-handed bats.In a home matchup at the Trop, Lowe鈥檚 swing path and current form make him one of the sharpest home run prop plays on the board at +320.#4. Byron Buxton (+320)Byron Buxton is locked in and ready to launch one tonight (Credits: IMAGN)Byron Buxton鈥檚 power has come alive in 2025, with 19 homers and 51 RBIs while adding 15 steals to round out his dynamic skillset. Though hitless over his last two games, Buxton was on a two-game homer streak just before that, flashing the elite power-speed combo that鈥檚 made him one of baseball鈥檚 most electric players.His underlying numbers are rock solid too, a 91.5 mph average exit velocity, 53.5% hard-hit rate and 15.1% barrels per plate appearance.Facing Janson Junk and a Marlins park that鈥檚 been playing fair to right-handed power, Buxton鈥檚 raw pop and speed keep him firmly in home run prop conversation tonight at +320 odds.#3. Jose Altuve (+300)Jose Altuve has the power to change the game with one swing (Credits: IMAGN)Jose Altuve heads into Coors Field, baseball鈥檚 most hitter-friendly venue, already boasting a strong history against lefty Austin Gomber. In just 6 career at-bats versus Gomber, Altuve has 4 hits including a homer, showcasing his ability to square up this matchup.While his 2025 line sits at a modest .257 with 13 home runs and 36 RBIs, Altuve鈥檚 elite bat speed and knack for punishing lefties make him a dangerous threat in Denver鈥檚 thin air.With the ball carrying well at altitude and his past success against Gomber, Altuve鈥檚 +300 odds carry real value tonight.#2. Jazz Chisholm +380Jazz Chisholm could flex his power stroke in this game (Credits: IMAGN)Jazz Chisholm Jr. has caught fire at the plate, blasting 4 home runs in his last 6 games and looking every bit the power-speed threat the Marlins rely on.Now he gets a date with Jose Berrios, a right-hander holding a solid 3.26 ERA but one who鈥檚 given up 8 homers in his last 7 starts. Jazz鈥檚 .240 average and 14 homers on the year don鈥檛 fully capture how dangerous he鈥檚 been lately.With his aggressive swings and uppercut stroke perfectly suited for pulling mistakes into the right-field seats. At enticing +380 odds, he鈥檚 one of the hottest power bats to watch in tonight鈥檚 lineup.#1. Max Muncy (+310)Max Muncy looks dialed in for a moonshot moment (Credits: IMAGN)Max Muncy is seeing the ball exceptionally well heading into tonight鈥檚 matchup against Sean Burke, who鈥檚 carrying a 4.22 ERA and has struggled with left-handed power all season.Muncy鈥檚 recent tear includes a .370 average, four homers and a massive 1.285 OPS over his last seven games. His hard-hit rate is north of 42% this season and he has 13 homers already in the bank.He鈥檚 dialed in for another big swing at Dodger Stadium, a park that caters beautifully to his pull-side pop. With Burke鈥檚 1.42 HR/9 against lefties this year, Muncy鈥檚 +310 odds offer strong value in tonight鈥檚 slate.
