The Top Play: Ben Rice
Ben Rice carries the shortest home run price in this game at +385 (20.6% implied), and the best number is at Circa across the 34 books pricing it. On a payout-driven market like home runs, the gap between the best and worst book is real money, so the number you take matters as much as the player you pick.
Best Value: Willson Contreras
For more payout, Willson Contreras is priced at +456 (18.0% implied), best at NoVig. Longer home run prices are high-variance by nature, so size these small and treat them as upside swings, not anchors.

How to Bet Home Run Props the Smart Way
- Shop every book. The same home run prop can pay 100+ points more at one book than another. OddsShopper scans 100+ sportsbooks so you always take the best number — see the live home run board.
- Mind the price, not just the name. A great hitter at a short price can be worse value than a mid-tier bat the market is sleeping on. Compare the price to the field before you fire.
- Size for variance. Home run props are longshots; keep the stakes small and play the long run.
