Top MLB Home Run Prop Hitters - August 16

#1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: +260

Over the past two weeks, Vladimir Guerrero's 1.342 OPS is second to only Aaron Judge in MLB.

#2. Jake Burger: +275

Nobody in MLB has topped Jake Burger's eight home runs over the past fortnight. In fact, the Miami Marlins' game against the Phillies on Wednesday was the first outing in five games that Burger did not log a home run. A .253 hitter on the season, Jake Burger's 23 homers puts him on pace to match his career-high figure of 34 set last year.

#3. Kyle Schwarber: +220

In his past 13 games, Philadelphia Phillies' Kyle Schwarber has slugged six home runs and 15 RBIs while maintaining a .302 batting average over that period. A former NL home run champ, Schwarber has 20 homers in 56 career games against the Nationals, who will come to Philly for a weekend series beginning on Friday.

#4. Corey Seager: +285

After a sluggish start to the season, Texas Rangers' Corey Seager is returning to his vintage form. The 2023 World Series MVP has batted .286/.355/.561 with eight home runs and 15 RBIs over the past month, and his 26 home runs on the season puts him in spitting distance of his career number of 33.

"Corey Seager's 4th homer in his last 4 games ties it up for the @Rangers" - MLB

#5. Salvador Perez: +230

Although Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez has gone just four for his last nineteen, two of those four hits have come in the form of home runs. Perez's .277 batting average is his highest figure in any full MLB season in over a decade.
