Welcome back, RotoBallers! Happy Friday! Major League Baseball is ready to start the weekend off right with all 30 teams in action under the lights. This weekend features multiple divisional matchups between familiar foes, along with some unique matchups as well. Seven of the 15 games on the board feature divisional foes, with the Nationals and Orioles meeting in a regional rivalry in an interleague series as well. Coors Field and Sutter Health Park aren't on the schedule this weekend, but there are still some solid places to attack with home run props.
In this article, I'll be going over my four favorite home run props. Make sure to check out the RotoBaller Discord, where you can find input from all our experts, which could include more home run spots as well as some great strikeout picks. Today's four picks are all extremely young hitters with power numbers on the rise. All four of today's picks are under 25 years old, but these kids are all right!
Below, you'll be able to read about my favorite home run props from MLB games on Friday, June 26, 2026. The current odds given reflect the best price as of the time of publication, but remember to always shop around at other sportsbooks so you can get the most value on your home run wagers. Odds can vary significantly from one sportsbook to another.
MLB Prop Bets - Today's Home Run Prop Picks (6/26/2026)
Jackson Chourio OVER 0.5 Home Runs (+425 Hard Rock BET)
Chourio and the Brewers are taking on the Cubs at American Family Field in an NL Central matchup this weekend, and they'll start the series Friday by facing former Brewer Colin Rea. It should be a good spot for Chourio, who has hit 10 homers on the season despite being limited to 44 games.
He didn't homer in Cincinnati to start the week, but six of his 10 homers have come at home, including his 10th dinger of the season, which was last Thursday against the Guardians.

Chourio has six homers in his last 14 games with a .328 ISO, .386 wOBA, and a 43.8% hard-hit rate. He homered four times in his last six home games and has a .389 wOBA and .253 ISO at American Family Field on the season.
The 22-year-old righty is 3-for-5 with a triple against Rea in the past, and Rea has allowed 12 homers in 16 games (12 starts), including six in his last six games. Righties like Chourio have hit eight of those 12 homers, and eight have also come on the road, where Rea has a 7.19 ERA. He has made two starts against the Brewers since leaving the team in 2025 and has allowed six runs on 12 hits in 9 2/3 innings.
Chourio will be happy to be home and will look to pick up the power he displayed on his last homestand in this solid matchup to start the weekend.
Travis Bazzana OVER 0.5 Home Runs (+550 theScoreBET)
The Guardians lineup is still a little thin due to injuries to Jose Ramirez (hand), Angel Martinez (foot), and Chase DeLauter (rib). With those absences, rookie Travis Bazzana has stepped into an even more important role, hitting leadoff and producing some solid power in addition to his solid batting average.

Over his last seven games, Bazzana has three homers to go with a .333 batting average, .370 ISO, and .473 wOBA. The 23-year-old lefty has a 47.4% hard-hit rate and 15.8% barrel rate over that stretch, hitting out of the leadoff spot in each of those seven contests.
Bazzana and the Guardians are home after their nine-game road trip as they host the Mariners for the weekend. Luis Castillo gets the start for Seattle, but the veteran has struggled this year, with a 5.22 ERA, allowing nine homers in his 70 2/3 innings. Lefties like Bazzana have hit seven of the nine homers against him and have a .360 wOBA, .224 ISO, 12.1% barrel rate, and 47.6% hard-hit rate.
While Bazzana has looked great overall, he still seems to be figuring out how to hit lefties at the MLB level. Against righties like Castillo, though, he's hitting .314 with six of his seven homers. Since he's an all-around hitter, not just a slugger, he has longer odds to go yard, but he has enough momentum coming into this favorable matchup to be a good longshot play for home run props this Friday.
