Every single game day, even those when teams are off to travel, will have plenty of deep drives. Sports bettors can try to predict who will hit them, but it's easier said than done. Here are DraftKings' best bets for today (Aug. 8).

Best MLB home run prop bets Aug. 8

5) Vladimir Guerrero: +440

Pick Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to hit a home run today (Imagn)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been the most consistent hitter for the otherwise dismal Toronto Blue Jays. He has also been one of baseball's best power hitters, with 22. He could easily hit another since he's only hit one in the last week.

4) Heliot Ramos: +270

Heliot Ramos could hit his 18th home run today (Imagn)

Heliot Ramos has been surprisingly good for the San Francisco Giants, and he has hit a decent number of home runs so far this season (17). Fortunately, he's facing DJ Herz and the Washington Nationals, so the matchup is favorable for him.

3) Matt Olson: +230

Matt Olson could hit another home run today (Imagn)

Matt Olson has turned it on of late, and he's the reigning MLB home run leader. Things haven't gone so well for him this year, with just 18 to this point, but he has a favorable matchup against Frankie Montas, a right-handed pitcher.

---

2) Marcell Ozuna: +230

Marcell Ozuna has been excellent hitting home runs (Imagn)

Marcell Ozuna has been consistent all year for the Atlanta Braves, and he's been a prolific power hitter. His 32 blasts are fourth in baseball, so he is a good bet to go deep any day. Today, facing Montas, he's one of the best picks you can make.

1) Aaron Judge: +205

Aaron Judge could hit another home run today (Imagn)

It's been three games since the last Aaron Judge home run (or two gamedays). That hardly constitutes a drought, but it means he has a strong chance of sending one out today against lefty Tyler Anderson. As it stands, he has 41 total on the season.
