Season Home Run Leader Betting Odds

In 2025, fans have found more ways to bet their favorite game than ever. I cannot stress how much different the world of sports betting is for fans now than it was at the turn of the century. Back then, you called your local bookster and bet daily offerings. But they rarely took props or futures bets because it tied up their phone lines. Sure, there were a few online sportsbooks but betting online was in its infancy and knowing which book to trust was a real chore. Plus, there just wasn’t the demand for player props back then.

In 2025, you can bet just about anything and everything to do with your favorite sport, team or player. This includes season stats leaders for any one particular category.

Home runs are the “big play” in baseball and the stat most observed by casual fans. The long ball is the great equalizer. You can be down half a dozen runs and in one inning catch all the way back up by blasting a couple home runs into the stands.

So, it should come as no shock then that a very popular futures bet is “season leader in home runs“. It’s a futures bet which sees plenty of action. It’s an easy stat to track day after day and it is easy to familiarize yourself with the best home run hitters. Think about the names which are talked about most in MLB history: Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, Ruth, Aaron… all home run kingpins.

Today we are taking a look at the home run betting odds futures as they currently sit. It should be noted that the overall leader in home runs is not the odds-on favorite. This is usually due to lopsided action.

The NYY are the most famous team in the league and Aaron Judge is their star player. He is 3 home runs behind Cal Raleigh but is still favored. This means that there is value in taking lesser-known players like Raleigh and even mixing in a player like Pete Crow-Armstrong because they are lesser known the general betting public.
