A home run prop lives and dies on the number, so the price matters as much as the pick. Here are the bombs worth backing in St. Louis Cardinals @ Chicago Cubs.
On the board for St. Louis Cardinals @ Chicago Cubs: Jordan Walker, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Seiya Suzuki, Nelson Velazquez, Michael Busch, Ian Happ are the hitters priced to go deep, each with the best price and book across 100+ sportsbooks below.
The board ranks by market price, not by our conviction — shortest odds means most likely to homer, not best value.

The number that matters is the best price for the side you want, not who sits highest on the board — shortest odds means most likely to homer, not best value. Compare each price to the rest of the field on the OddsShopper home run odds screen; when one book is a notably longer number than the others, that is where the line-shopping value is.
