Monday's MLB slate may be light with just six games, but that doesn't mean the home run action has to be quiet. With division leaders like the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and Los Angeles Dodgers all in action, there's plenty of firepower to watch—and plenty of value to find for prop bettors.
SportsLine expert Angelo "Amags" Magliocca, a proven force in MLB capping, has zeroed in on the best home run player props for May 11. Over the 2022 through 2025 seasons, Amags has stacked up an impressive 133.4 units of profit on straight bets and parlays, plus an additional 25.3 units on ladder plays. His deep knowledge of the game helps him uncover hidden value, especially on a smaller slate where every matchup matters.
One name that might fly under the radar is Yankees rookie Spencer Jones, who made his MLB debut over the weekend. He faces Orioles right-hander Brandon Young, who has already surrendered three home runs in just 9 2/3 innings at home in Baltimore. Young's fastball sits significantly slower than average, and he leans on it heavily—throwing it 50% of the time—along with a splitter (35%) and an ineffective curveball. Left-handed hitters, in particular, have been teeing off on him. Jones steps into the box with a chance to make an early statement against a pitcher who has been hit hard nearly half the time.
Of course, the Yankees lineup leads all of MLB in home runs, so there's no shortage of power threats. But Amags is also eyeing a couple of other names you might not hear anywhere else, blending sleeper picks with a more chalky option that still offers solid odds. With the Rays visiting Toronto, the Yankees in Baltimore, and the Dodgers hosting San Francisco, Monday's games are packed with opportunities for those looking to add some long-ball excitement to their day.
