All 30 MLB teams will be in action on Tuesday, meaning there is a wealth of options for MLB home run bettors. Aaron Judge is back in the Yankees lineup after a stint on the IL and is priced as high as +250 in the latest MLB HR odds. Meanwhile, Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. hasn’t homered in 10 games, but he’s available for a much juicier price (+425) and has an advantageous matchup against the Diamondbacks and Ryne Nelson. It’s a solid buy-low opportunity on another of the game’s biggest talents, so we’re including Tatis as one of our top MLB home run picks and looking for value on Judge elsewhere in today’s MLB player props.
First pitch for Padres vs. Diamondbacks is at 9:40 p.m. ET, and Tatis is sitting on 17 home runs entering Tuesday’s action. MLB home run props are available for almost every player in every game at various sportsbooks, and SportsLine’s proven computer model can help you find value for your MLB betting picks.

Fernando Tatis Jr. (SD) +425, bet365
Tatis doesn’t have a home run against Ryne Nelson yet, but he’s 6-for-13 in his career against the Diamondbacks’ starter. While his in-game power has been quiet lately, he’s still having quality at-bats—walking often and limiting strikeouts. The model doesn’t show a ton of value here, but +425 is still a solid price. We set Tatis’ line at +412 to homer. You can also bet this prop for the same price at bet365, where you can get $150 in bonus bets instantly after your first $5 wager:
Francisco Lindor (NYM) +400, FanDuel
Lindor is facing his former team, and the model sees strong value here. He’s played just 7 games against Cleveland since the trade, but has gone 11-for-33 in those matchups. While he’s struggled against left-handed pitching this season, he’s historically fared better in those splits—suggesting some positive regression could be due. Right-handed batters are hitting .263 against Logan Allen and have accounted for 10 of the 14 home runs he’s allowed. We set Lindor’s line at +315 to homer, but you can find the listed price at FanDuel, where you can also sweeten the pot with the latest FanDuel promo code, which offers $150 in bonus bets if your first wager of $5 or more wins:
Brent Rooker (ATH) +350, BetMGM
Rooker has crushed left-handed pitching this season, posting a .971 OPS, and he gets a favorable matchup today. MacKenzie Gore has struggled recently, allowing opponents to hit .304 with a .937 OPS over his last four starts. While many East Coast games today have poor home run indexes, this one sits at 6/10—giving Rooker a decent shot if he barrels one up. We set his line at +298 to homer, but this listed price is available at BetMGM, where you can also use the BetMGM promo code to get up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses:
