A new week in the MLB is upon with 14 games on deck for the Monday night slate. We’ve selected our favorite home run prop bets for Monday, May 13 with odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best home run bets: Monday, May 13
Adley Rutschman vs. Toronto Blue Jays (+600)
Baltimore will open a three-game AL East set against Toronto this evening and there’s an opportunity for Rutschman to have a strong night at the plate. The All-Star catcher struggled in their weekend series against the Diamondbacks, but he did blast a solo shot in yesterday’s 9-2 loss. Tonight, he’ll go up against Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios, whom he has owned with a line of 10-16 with a pair of doubles and a homer. I’ll wager that the Orioles star goes deep at Camden Yards once again this evening.
Paul DeJong vs. Washington Nationals (+390)
The White Sox have won four of their last five ballgames and DeJong has been a huge reason behind their sudden upswing. The veteran shortstop has been a powerful presence at the plate, belting three home runs and five RBI with a 1.305 OPS in his last six outings. He owns a .292 career batting average against Nationals starter Trevor Williams and that includes a home run with five RBI. I’ll say he takes Williams deep again in tonight’s series opener.
Brent Rooker vs. Houston Astros (+320)
Rooker has been a bright spot for the Athletics in the last week and has significantly raised his batting average in the process. The All-Star outfielder has gone yard twice in the last six games and has posted an OPS of 1.328. Astros starter Spencer Arrighetti has struggled mightily with an 8.44 ERA through five starts, and I think Rooker can take advantage by sending one into the Crawford Boxes at Minute Maid Park.
