The 2026 MLB campaign has completed the first two months of the regular season as we approach the end of May. All 30 teams are in action this weekend, thereby offering plenty of home run prop bet options.
On Friday, the Chicago Cubs will visit the St. Louis Cardinals to start a three-game set against their arch-rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road for the standout matchup of this weekend.
The Houston Astros are not enjoying their best run in this MLB season, but Christian Walker has been one of their top performers since the start. He has 1.9 bWAR with 15 home runs and 40 RBIs. Walker hit for a low average in May but still smashed eight homers this month.
The Kansas City Royals are in a big slump right now, even though Bobby Witt is one of the best players in the MLB. He presently leads the American League with 3.4 bWAR. Witt is batting .290/.336/.550 with a .886 OPS in the month of May, including seven home runs.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are on a roll lately, even though Max Muncy missed a few MLB games. He is one of their best hitters this year with 2.3 bWAR, 12 home runs, and a 142 OPS+. He is due for a big performance after going 3-25 without a homer in the last eight games.
The Atlanta Braves hold the best record in the National League, and Matt Olson is their batter so far. He currently has a .262/.343/.548 slash for the season with a .891 OPS. Interestingly, 11 out of the 15 home runs that Olson hit this year have come on the road.
The New York Yankees lost some of their momentum over the past month, and Aaron Judge is having a mediocre spell by his standards. He is batting .253/.378/.473 with a .851 OPS in May. Judge has only had one home run in the last 15 MLB games, so he is overdue to get one soon.
