MLB Home Run Leader Predictions, Betting Odds 2024: Aaron Judge Secures Home Run Crown for Second Time in Three Years

• Two years after his monstrous 62-homer season, Aaron Judge was the preseason favorite to be the home run leader in 2024

• Matt Olson led the majors in home runs in 2023 with 54

A race that was never much of a race is officially over. With two weeks left in the 2024 MLB season, sportsbooks have stopped making odds available for the league leader in home runs. Aaron Judge, who has been the favorite for much of the season, is the de facto winner. Shohei Ohtani is the only player within 10 homers of Judge, and even he would need to out-homer Judge by at least seven home runs in a little over 10 games.

Congratulations to anyone who placed a bet on Judge at some point. However, unless you got him early in the season, there may not have been a ton of value in that bet. Nevertheless, those who believed in Judge after an injury-plagued 2023 campaign deserve credit for their faith in him. Naturally, Ohtani deserves some credit for keeping this race as close as it was, although he never got that close to Judge. The likes of Anthony Santander, Juan Soto, Gunnar Henderson, and Marcell Ozuna should also be recognized as sluggers who stayed in the conversation for much of the season.

Judge, Ohtani, and several others will surely be among the preseason favorites to be the MLB home run leader in 2025. Odds for that race won’t be available until the 2024 season is wrapped. But when the 2025 season starts to get closer, check back to get an early breakdown on who will be the 2025 home run leader.

How to Read Home Run Leader Odds

With multiple candidates to be the home run king, most players will have plus (+) betting odds. Therefore, the profit will be greater than the wager. For instance, a $100 bet on +500 odds will have a profit of $500. Of course, if there is a clear favorite, they may have negative (-) odds. This means that for a player with -150 odds, you will have to bet $150 in order to make a profit of $100.
