MLB Home Run Probability

Home run props are all tails, so we lead with probability, not a projection number. A projected 0.18 home runs is a chance of about 16% to go yard, useful context, but inherently high variance. We show the probability, the park, and the risk plainly.

How these projections are built

01

Project HR rate

Expected home runs come from the batter's power profile against the matchup and park.

02

Convert to probability

We convert the expected rate into a probability of at least one home run, the number that actually matters.

03

Flag the volatility

HR props are labeled high or extreme volatility so the risk is never hidden behind a tidy edge.

Frequently asked

Why probability instead of a projection?
A 0.5 HR line is a yes/no outcome. The probability of going deep is far more informative than a fractional projection.
Are home run props worth playing?
They carry the highest variance of any market we cover. We present them as research with explicit volatility flags, never as locks.
What drives HR probability most?
Batter power, how susceptible the opposing pitcher is to the home run, and park plus weather (wind direction especially).
