Jam-packed Monday Slate for MLB FanDuel & DraftKings Home Run Props (6/15/2026)

Welcome to RotoBaller's MLB player prop betting section, where we provide you with the most up-to-date information on the best MLB player prop bets for today's matchups. We'll be focusing on the top home run props (HR props) for each game, giving you a comprehensive overview of the market.

Let's dive into our top home run prop picks for the current slate.

Nick Kurtz OVER 0.5 Home Runs (+247 DraftKings)

Well, we got a taste of Las Vegas baseball for the past six games, where the Athletics will officially be moving in 2028. The result of those six games? 102 runs, 147 hits, 35 homers, and an average score of 17 runs per game. Unless something changes, 2028 will officially mark the end of Coors Field being THE park for betting and DFS play.

The Athletics will return to their other 'home' tonight, Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. While you may have a sad-face emoji about this, remember that it is also a minor league park that's a hitter's paradise. Do not be afraid to load up on players from this game (there's an early O/U of 11.5 runs), and Nick Kurtz will be the key bat here.

Kurtz has followed up his rookie campaign with another elite offensive year. He currently has 16 homers, 52 RBI, a .969 OPS, and a 22.4% barrel rate (a number that balloons to 26.9% against righties). Kurtz also (predictably) has a .308 batting average and .626 SLG at 'home' this year.

He'll face off against Jared Jones, who has K upside, but has struggled mightily against lefties since returning from his long-term injury. He's only faced 33 lefties since returning, but has allowed six extra-base hits, two homers, and a 63% hard-hit rate in that time. For a hitter like Kurtz, I'm willing to side with the batter here.

Yordan Alvarez OVER 0.5 Home Runs (+286 DraftKings)

Yordan Alvarez is probably the unquestioned American League MVP at this point with his .324 average, 1.084 OPS, 24 homers, and 54 RBI. Alvarez continues to blister baseballs with a 23.9% barrel rate and over a 50% hard-hit rate over his last ten games, and his numbers are even better against righty pitching this season.

Tonight, Alvarez will take aim at Troy Melton, who has succeeded in limiting hard contact to lefties but also does not miss bats (11.5% K rate on the road). The Astros have an implied run total (IRT) pushing 5.5 runs, and Alvarez should be center stage for that.

Since returning from injury, all Alvarez has done against righty pitching is destroy them for a .450 wOBA, .323 ISO, and 186 wRC+. The fact that he isn't THE favorite of the day to homer is enough to recognize that the odds you're getting on DraftKings are wonderful. I'd even like pairing him with Kurtz to get a solid little two-man parlay tonight (don't make a habit of that).
