2025 MLB Stat Leader Odds | Home Runs & Strikeouts
Home runs are a big part of what drives people to baseball, and there are certainly quite a few guys in the MLB who know a lot about them.
Aaron Judge led the league in 2024 for the second time in three years, and he unsurprisingly opened as the favorite to lead the league again in 2025. However, for as good as Judge has been, Cal Raleigh outpaced the Yankees captain and took the home run crown with 60 longballs. Down below, we’ll look at home run leader odds for the 2026 season across all the top sportsbooks in Maryland, once they are released.

Cal Raleigh: Outside of Judge and Ohtani, the Mariners catcher was one of the best hitters in baseball this season.

Not only did Raleigh lead the league in home runs with 60, but he is in the 99th percentile in barrel rate and 85th percentile in hard hit percentage, according to BaseballSavant.
