Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 5 picks including Ian Happ, Jazz Chisholm, and more for August 25th, 2024
On any given game day in the MLB, plenty of home runs will be hit. This is especially true for Sunday when all teams are scheduled to play. Star players might smash a few, but others undoubtedly will as well. Predicting who will and who won't is hard, but we have got the best bets from DraftKings today.
Best MLB home run prop bets for August 25
5) Jazz Chisholm: +425
Jazz Chisholm Jr. finally broke out after returning from the Injured List, but he's still searching for that first home run since returning. The New York Yankees star faces the Colorado Rockies, MLB's worst statistical pitching staff, and should be among those leading an offensive onslaught today.
4) Ian Happ: +425
Ian Happ hasn't hit all that well this season with a .230 batting average, but he does have 23 home runs. When he hits the ball, the Chicago Cubs star tends to put a good swing on it. With just one homer in the last week, he's a good pick to go deep today.
3) Oneil Cruz: +310
Oneil Cruz has 18 home runs this season, but only one of those came in the month of August. He hasn't hit one in the last week, so the Pittsburgh Pirates star might be due. Plus, he has a pretty solid matchup with the Cincinnati Reds today.
2) Shohei Ohtani: +330
Shohei Ohtani is red hot right now as he inches closer to a 50 home run/50 stolen base season. He has three home runs in the last week and nine in August, so the Los Angeles Dodgers star is one of today's best bets.
1) Juan Soto: +290
Juan Soto has hit mostly home runs in the month of August, as nine of his 17 total hits have left the yard. The Yankees offense has yet to really break out against the MLB's worst staff in the Rockies, so expect him to lead the charge today and add to his career-high 36 home runs.
