On any given day in the MLB, especially one with so many teams back after an off day, there will be a plethora of home runs. Predicting which players will hit those home runs is no easy feat, and it usually comes down to more than a few factors. To that end, we've researched and compiled the best picks on DraftKings.
Best MLB home run prop bets for August 30
5) TJ Friedl: +600
TJ Friedl has hit 10 home runs in 58 games this season for the Cincinnati Reds. That would be a 162-game total of 28, which is pretty decent for Friedl. Nevertheless, he's got Colin Rea (12-4, 3.61 ERA) on the mound against him today, so he could be a long shot that rewards bettors.

4) Elly De La Cruz: +425
Elly De La Cruz can do it all on the baseball field, and that includes crushing home runs. The Reds star has hit 22 this year, though none in the last seven days. He's due, and he also gets the matchup with Rea. De La Cruz, a switch-hitter, will have the hand advantage in that matchup, too.
3) Francisco Lindor: +320
Francisco Lindor is quietly putting together an MVP campaign. Part of that is because of terrific offense. The New York Mets star has hit 28 home runs this year, tied for 12th among all hitters. With Jonathan Cannon (2-8, 4.57 ERA) and the Chicago White Sox up today, Lindor is a great pick.
2) Anthony Santander: +290
Anthony Santander has been one of baseball's best at hitting home runs. He's got 38 of them, only behind two legendary hitters: Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. The Baltimore Orioles star gets to face Austin Gomber (4-9, 4.70 ERA) and the Colorado Rockies today, too.
1) Rhys Hoskins: +245
Rhys Hoskins is known for his power-hitting, and the Milwaukee Brewers star has 21 home runs in 105 games this year. He has just one in the last week, though, and he gets to hit against Nick Martinez (6-6, 3.62 ERA) today. That's why he's the best bet of the bunch on DraftKings.
