Top MLB Home Run Prop Leaders - August 2

Though he went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his team's last game against the Phillies on Wednesday, the previous pair of games saw the slugger go 5-for-9 with two home runs and three RBIs.

Over the past month of play, few players in MLB have been as dangerous as Rafael Devers. Over the course of his past 22 games, the Boston Red Sox third baseman has hit .353/.423/.706 with 6 home runs and 20 RBIs.

Royce Lewis: +285

Royce Lewis returned to action from injury on July 26, and has struggled to a .211 average since then. However, the youthful outfielder remains one of the Minnesota Twins' top bats. A .278/.347/.648 hitter on the season, Lewis has also chipped in with 11 home runs and 21 RBIs in 30 games. Watch out for Lewis to make an impact for the Twins on Friday against the White Sox.

Kyle Schwarber: +245

Kyle Scwarber's 22 home runs this season are second only to Bryce Harper in the Phillies' lineup. Now in his tenth season, the two-time MLB All-Star's .246 batting average represents his highest figure since 2021.

Though he was held off of the board in the recent series against the Yankees, Schwarber contributed with three home runs and six RBIs in the preceding series against Cleveland.

Manny Machado: +360

In addition to hitting a clean .444 over his past week, Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres has homered three times in his past four games. A .266 batter on the season, Machado's sixteen home runs rank second on his club, and his 17 doubles put him on track to set a career-high in the category.
