MLB Home Run Leaders
*Erik Williams-Imagn ImagesThe 2026 MLB home run race looks different than the past two seasons, but as a result, we have ourselves a neck and neck battle at the top. Currently leading the MLB with 35 long balls is Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez. Alvarez has been an absolute force in the middle of Houston’s lineup, parlaying high-exit-velocity and an already elite launch angle into the most consistent power threat this season.
Hot on his heels in second place is Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, who sits closely behind with 33 blasts. Schwarber’s pull-side power continues to play well in Philly, keeping him right on Alvarez’s heels as both left-handed bats battle for top honors.
But unlike past seasons, which saw one, or like last year, two bats pulling away, the leader is just a few cold spells away from welcoming numerous others to the home run trophy party. This next group is led by Hunter Goodman (Rockies) and Ben Rice (Yankees), both with 31 home runs, and Nationals first baseman James Wood, who sits with 30 homers.
Below that group of 30+ dingers sits Junior Caminero (Rays), who occupies 6th place with 29 blasts, followed by Matt Olson (Braves) and CJ Abrams (Nationals) tied for 7th with 27 homers apiece. The 2026 home run race should be competitive for the remainder of the season.

*Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesLeading the board as top favorites are major league home run leader Yordan Alvarez (+196) and Dodgers phenom Shohei Ohtani (+220), who both carry the shortest odds to leave the yard thanks to their elite exit velocities and favorable matchups.
For bettors searching for a sweet spot between high probability and solid payout potential, strong value options like Junior Caminero (+240) and Jose Ramirez (+255) carry prime sub-+260 lines. Just behind them, proven mid-tier sluggers Ben Rice (+300) and Mike Trout (+320) offer lucrative odds backed by 30-homer upside without taking on extreme risk.
Finally, if you are hunting for bigger potential payouts deeper down the board, high-value long shots like Freddie Freeman (+350) and Corbin Carroll (+400) represent excellent targets who possess the raw pop to clear any wall on any given swing.

Smart Play: Betting Today’s Market Responsibly
Sprinkling a small wager on Yordan Alvarez or Shohei Ohtani to launch a moonshot turns up the excitement on a Wednesday night slate, but it’s always best to keep wagers smart and manageable.
Set a budget before first pitch: Decide on a safe spending limit ahead of time and stick strictly to flat, small stakes. Embrace the volatility: Home run props are high-variance. Even elite sluggers only clear the fences once every few games. Avoid late-game chasing: If your daytime or early props come up empty, resist live-betting late pinch-hitters just to break even. Utilize account controls: Take advantage of automated deposit limits or wager caps inside your sportsbook apps to keep betting fun and safe.New users must be 21+. Gambling problem?
