Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 5 picks including Corey Seager, Brent Rooker and more for Aug. 27, 2024
Every day, multiple players will hit a home run in the MLB. It's a common occurrence in the game today, and many sports bettors try to predict who will or won't hit a homer each day. With all MLB teams scheduled to play, there are many options. We've got the best ones to keep an eye on from DraftKings.
Best MLB home run prop bets for Aug. 27
5) Brent Rooker: +275
Brent Rooker has quietly put together a strong season, especially in the power department. Despite playing in a pitcher's park, he has 30 home runs. Today, the Oakland Athletics star has a good matchup against the Cincinnati Reds.
4) Corey Seager: +270
Corey Seager has hit 29 home runs this season — that's the 10th-most in baseball. The Texas Rangers star has three in the last week and gets to face the Chicago White Sox. Garrett Crochet is the starter, but the bullpen is weak for Chicago.
3) Marcell Ozuna: +240
Marcell Ozuna has hit more home runs in the National League than most players not named Shohei Ohtani. The Atlanta Braves designated hitter has 37 and gets to face Simeon Woods Richardson (5-3, 3.69 ERA). He has a good chance of going deep today.
2) Giancarlo Stanton: +240
Giancarlo Stanton had hit a home run in three straight games before coming up empty yesterday. The New York Yankees slugger is still likely on a hot streak, which means he's a good pick today against one of the worst pitchers in baseball: Patrick Corbin (3-12, 5.73 ERA).
1) Kyle Schwarber: +230
Kyle Schwarber is today's best bet to hit a home run. He has 28 this season for the Philadelphia Phillies but just six in August and none in the last week. He's due, and he gets to face a less-than-dominant Justin Verlander today. Verlander is 3-3 with a 3.92 ERA this year.
