Best Home Run Prop Bets – MLB Free HR Props Picks

Ronald Acuna Jr. (ATL) +360

Aaron Nola has been shaky since coming off the IL allowing eight earned runs in 8.1 innings pitched including two home runs as he and the Phillies host the Braves tonight.

In total, Nola has given up 13 home runs in just 58 innings pitched with seven coming at home. Braves batters have tons of experience against Nola including Ronald Acuna Jr. who is 19-55 with four home runs all-time against the Phillies righty.

Acuna Jr. has also excelled against righties in general this season batting .308 with a .566 slugging percentage compared to lefties batting .281 with a .456 slugging percentage.

Sure, Acuna Jr. only has one home run this month and 15 in total this season, but Nola has allowed righties to bat .323 this season and .322 in home starts.

Take Acuna Jr. to hit his home run prop tonight at +360 odds. Other Braves batters to take advantage of for a home run prop includes Marcell Ozuna (+420) and Matt Olson (+300).

MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Giancarlo Stanton (NYY) +285

The Yankees have been on a power surge over the last week or so which includes Giancarlo Stanton who is arguably the hottest hitter currently in the MLB.

Over the last 15 days Stanton is batting .391 while sporting a 1.130 slugging percentage and in August is slugging .981 so far including nine home runs.

The Yankees travel to Chicago to take on Davis Martin and the White Sox with Martin allowing five home runs combined across his last four starts.

He does sport a 3.30 home ERA, but has allowed nine of his 17 home runs at home as well. It hasn’t mattered if Stanton is on the road or at home this season in general batting .302 while posting a .667 slugging percentage in road games as well.

Stanton got the day off yesterday after going 2-3 with a home run and five RBIs in Tuesday’s win over Washington so let’s take Stanton to hit his home run prop tonight at +285 odds.

Other Yankees batters to take advantage of for a home run prop includes Aaron Judge (+200) and Trent Grisham (+400).
