× Home runs remain baseball's most exciting spectacle. Sunday's MLB slate is packed with hitters who can change the game with one swing. Several sluggers find themselves in advantageous spots on Sunday, creating plenty of enticing opportunities in the home run prop bet market.

Ad Here's a look at the top MLB home run prop bet for Sunday's slate. Today's MLB Home Run Prop Bets 5. Dylan Crews (+395) (Pirates vs Nationals) Dylan Crews matches up for a right-on-right showdown against Pirates starter Bubba Chandler at Nationals Park, Washington.

Chandler relies on a high-octane fastball and hard slider mix to navigate lineups. The right-handed pitcher's aggressive approach plays into Crews' quick bat speed and barrel control. The Nationals outfielder has been tracking the ball beautifully at home.

Any execution error from Chandler leaving a fastball over the plate will likely get punished by Crews' sixth homer of the season. Ad Trending 4. CJ Abrams (+359) (Pirates vs Nationals) Like Dylan Crews, his teammate, CJ Abrams, is perfectly positioned to exploit the righty-on-righty matchup against Pirates starter Bubba Chandler.

The 2026 MLB All-Star Game starting shortstop possesses an explosive swing path that thrives when turning around inside velocity. Abrams' lightning-fast wrist will allow him to pull the hands in and lift the ball effortlessly if Chandler's erratic command leaves pitches in the inner half. Expect the righty slugger to jump on an early-count fastball to clear the right-field wall for his 19th homer of the season.

Ad 3. Matt Olson (+305) (Mets vs Braves) Matt Olson was silent on Saturday's game against the New York Mets after hitting two dingers on Friday. Expect Olson to wreak havoc again in the series finale at Truist Park on Sunday for his 23rd home run of the season.

Mets starter Nolan McLean performed well in his previous outing against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. McLean will need to be on his toes to replicate the same success, as any mistake will get punished by Olson and Co. Ad 2.

Brandon Lowe (+294) (Pirates vs Nationals) Brandon Lowe has always been a menace against right-handed pitchers. His elite pullside power is a big weapon when he isolates his pitch. Lowe is a master at adjusting his launch angle to target short porch dimensions.

Any hanging slider or fastball over the heart of the plate from Nationals starter Cade Cavalli and his bullpen teammates will likely gift Lowe his 21st homer of the season. Ad 1.James Wood (+276) (Pirates vs Nationals)James Wood's explosive mechanics give him an overwhelming advantage over right-handed pitchers like Bubba Chandler.
