#5: Ketel Marte +427
A three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger award winner, Ketel Marte is one of the finest hitters in the major leagues and it is not surprising to see him make this list.
The second baseman has 5 home runs and 15 RBIs to his name for the season and it may be worth backing him to enjoy more success at the plate against Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas Rangers on Monday.
#4: Junior Caminero +345
Coming off a breakout 2025 season, Junior Caminero has picked up right where he left off to begin the year. The infielder has 11 home runs and 19 RBIs to his name.
#3: Yordan Alvarez +300
After missing most of the 2025 season due to injury, Yordan Alvarez is now well and truly back to his best.
The Cuban slugger is batting .318 with 13 homers and 29 RBIs to his name, and it may be worth backing him to add to his home run tally as the Astros take on George Kirby and the Seattle Mariners on Monday.
#2: Ben Rice +279
Ben Rice has started the 2026 season on fire, batting .306 with 12 home runs and 27 RBIs to his name. Facing off against Brandon Young and the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, we could see the first baseman further improve his stats.
#1: Aaron Judge +235
Aaron Judge has hit 111 home runs over the past two seasons, and it’s not surprising to see him top this list. The New York Yankees captain has started the year well, batting .267 with 16 home runs and 30 RBIs.
The three-time AL MVP award winner will be looking to further improve his stats against Brandon Young and the Baltimore Orioles on Monday.
