BREAK IT DOWN:

(stats taken from DraftKings Sportsbook’s Stats Hub)

Aaron Judge 1+ Home Run (+235): Judge and the Yankees are at home against the Marlins on Saturday night, and Judge will be looking for his fourth homer of the season as he takes on Max Meyer and the Marlins. Meyer didn’t allow a homer in his first start of the season against the Rockies, but he did serve up 26 gopher balls across 23 starts over the last two seasons. Righties hit seven of those 12 homers last year and finished with a .389 wOBA against Meyer. Judge doesn’t need an easy matchup to go yard, though, after hitting 58 homers in 2024 and 53 homers last year. He’s off to a fast start in 2026 as well with three homers in seven games and a 60% hard-hit rate. While he hits well in every situation, Judge did have more homers against righties (37) last year, and he has an impressive career wOBA of .439 at Yankee Stadium.

Kyle Schwarber 1+ Home Run (+192): Schwarber was one of the most popular prop bets on Friday, and he delivered his third Schwarbomb of the year. He’s only 5-for-25 (.200) but has one single, one double and three home runs. He has a 64.3% hard-hit rate and 28.6% barrel rate. After going yard on Friday, he has nine homers in 21 starts at Coors Field. The weather will be a little warmer than Friday, but the wind is still expected to be blowing in. Even in the wind, Schwarber will be in a great matchup against Chase Dollander, so he has a strong chance to smash another homer Saturday night.

Elly De La Cruz 1+ Home Run (+575): The public is going a little off the board with this pick, and I love it! Rather than stick with the players who have the shortest odds, they’re searching for value and going with Elly De La Cruz at almost 6:1. De La Cruz has three homers in his seven games this year with a 43.8% hard-hit rate and 12.5% barrel rate. He homered on Friday in the Reds’ first game in Texas, and he will look to add another homer on Saturday as he takes on Kumar Rocker. Rocker will be making his first start of the season, but De La Cruz is locked in and could be on his way to a breakthrough season of power production.


3-Pick Same Game Parlay

Taking three of the most-bet player props individually is always an option, but why not roll them into a same game parlay (SGP) and get in on all the action at once? It’s a fun way to tie everything together — feel free to tag along.

Aaron Judge 1+ Home Run (+235)

Kyle Schwarber 1+ Home Run (+192)

Elly De La Cruz 1+ Home Run (+575)

Parlay Odds: +6502
