Even with home runs at all-time highs, home runs are still one of the very best parts of Major League Baseball. The ball just flies out of the park these days with more players hitting them. At the same time, the top players aren’t hitting them any more than in years past. It is likely that you are going to see a home run in a game, but it is less likely that you will see Sosa or McGwire type numbers from a single player.
This has made betting on player home runs into a pretty interesting market. There was a time when you’d only want to bet on those top players, but now seemingly any player can hit a ball out of the park. You can bet on any player one through nine in the lineup in a match-up which is pretty cool and can be quite profitable.
If you are interested in the world of betting on MLB Player Home Runs, this is the article for you. I am going to get into how to bet on this market, where to bet it, and my strategy for betting on it. Let’s dig into the world of home runs.
Where To Bet MLB Player Home Runs:
America: Bovada is a great site to bet MLB Player Home Runs. They offer odds on one and two home run games.
Everywhere Else: Bet365 Sportsbook is a website where you can find betting odds on MLB Player Home Runs. They offer this for the starting lineup of each team.
What is MLB Player Home Runs betting?
Player home run bets are as simple as they come. Do you think a player will hit a home run in the game? You can bet on it.
Home runs are pretty hard to come by so a successful bet on this often pays off very well. For a great example of just how well, let’s take a look at a game between the Yankees and Rays.
Aaron Judge: +300
Giancarlo Stanton +300
DJ LeMahieu: +700
Judge and Stanton are two of the very best home run hitting players in all of baseball and you can still get 3/1 odds on them. While LeMahieu is not known for hitting the ball deep and has even better odds.
This can also be listed as an over/under of 0.5 home runs. In this case, the moneyline odds are likely to be the same.
Some sportsbooks like Bovada also offer odds on two homeruns. The odds on this are astronomical and, honestly, probably not a good bet at all. The odds for that would look like:
Aaron Judge: +1900
Giancarlo Stanton: +1900
DJ LeMahieu: +4400
Common MLB Player Home Runs Questions:
What is the single-game record for MLB Player Home Runs in a single game?
The all-time record for four homeruns in a single game might be baseball’s greatest single game accomplishment. In over 200 years, it has only happened eighteen times.
The players who have accomplished this incredible feat are: Bobby Lowe, Ed Delahanty, Lou Gehrig, Chuck Klein, Pat Seerey, Gil Hodges, Joe Adcock, Rocky Colavito, Willie Mays, Mike Schmidt, Bob Horner, Mark Whiten, Mike Cameron, Shawn Green, Carlos Delgado, Josh Hamilton, Scooter Gennett, and J. D. Martinez.
Of that elite group I consider Bobby Lowe, Lou Gehrig, Ricky Colavito, Mike Schmidt, Mike Cameron, Carlos Delgado, Scooter Gennett, and J.D. Martinez to be the most impressive as their four homeruns came in four consecutive at-bats. Of those players, Carlos Delgado is the only one to finish the game at a perfect 4-for-4.

MLB Player Home Runs Betting Strategy:
I like this bet, but it is one that I use very selectively based on a few factors.
The first factor is weather. I think this is the most important of all and I am looking for the wind to be in our favor. Winds blowing out plus warm weather are a key here. That is the recipe for hitting success.
The other factor I am looking at is the pitcher handedness and the batter’s split against that type. There are power hitters out there who bat right-handed and have way better power numbers against lefties. If they are facing a righty, I stay away.
