Home runs. Long balls. Bleacher reachers. Whatever you want to call them, people love watching and betting on home run props during baseball games. So much so, we’ve got a whole article dedicated to just that.
Here are my top two home run prop picks on DraftKings Sportsbook for the Midsummer Classic: Shea Langeliers and Max Muncy.
Let’s break them down.
MLB All-Star Game Home Run Props
| Best MLB Home Run Bets Today | Odds | Why I Like the Pick |
|---|---|---|
| Shea Langeliers | +950 | The NL has a very left-handed pitching staff, and few players have hit LHPs as well as Langeliers this season. The backstop slashing .324/.388/.629 with a 177 wRC+ within the split, and his .571 expected slugging percentage against southpaws is the seventh-highest qualified mark in the league. |
| Max Muncy | +850 | Among all qualified pitchers, Dylan Cease has surrendered the fewest opponent home runs per nine (0.46). So let’s back someone who likely won’t face the RHP in the first inning. Muncy has 17 homers and an 85th percentile barrel rate (13.6%) so far this season. |

Home Run Props: 2026 MLB All-Star Game
Shea Langeliers 1+ Home Run (+950)
First and foremost, Langeliers is in the midst of another amazing offensive season behind the plate, having blasted 21 home runs in his 386 plate appearances so far in 2026. However, Langeliers’ real superpower is his ability to punish left-handed pitching. Not only is the backstop slashing .324/.388/.629 with a 177 wRC+ within the split, but his .571 expected slugging percentage against southpaws is the seventh-highest qualified mark in the league. Now, Cristopher Sanchez isn’t your average lefty, but there’s also a pretty decent chance that the Phillies’ ace isn’t the only LHP that Langeliers will see on Tuesday. With no Paul Skenes or Jacob Misiorowski available, the National League’s stable of All-Star starting pitchers is very left-hand heavy. Jesus Sanchez, Chris Sale, Eduardo Rodriguez, Foster Griffin, Justin Wrobleski. Any one of these men could face-off with Langeliers in the third or fourth inning. To me, that gives the A’s catcher a little bit of an edge in this market.
Max Muncy 1+ Home Run (+850)
If I have a “strategy” for picking an NL bat to hit a home run in the All-Star Game, it’s this: Choose someone from the lower-half of the lineup. Why? Well, there’s two reasons. Dylan Cease will be starting tonight’s contest for the American League and the right-hander is second in the league with a 2.19 FIP. The reason that figure is so good? Cease doesn’t give up any long balls. In fact, among all qualified pitchers, Cease has surrendered the fewest opponent home runs per nine (0.46). He’s also conceded the fewest opponent barrels (9) among all AL pitchers with at least 200 batted ball events induced so far in 2026. I’d much rather back a National League batter who has the opportunity to face someone like Nick Martinez or Michael Wacha later on in the contest. So, with that in mind, let’s roll with Muncy. The veteran has 17 homers and an 85th percentile barrel rate (13.6%). Works for me.
