Best MLB home run prop bets for August 29

5) Willy Adames: +500

Willy Adames has 24 home runs this season (Imagn)

Willy Adames has hit well this season and has 24 home runs to his name. He's not known for power but ranks in the top 24 of home runs this year. He also gets a matchup with Hayden Birdsong (3-3, 4.57 ERA) and the San Francisco Giants bullpen, so he has a good chance of hitting a home run today.

4) Anthony Santander: +400

Pick Anthony Santander to hit a home run (Imagn)

Anthony Santander has been sneakily good at hitting home runs. He's not considered among the top power hitters, but the Baltimore Orioles hitter has the third-most in baseball with 38. He also gets to face Bobby Miller (1-3, 7.49 ERA), so he has a good matchup as well.

3) Mookie Betts: +390

Mookie Betts is one of today's best home run picks (Imagn)

Mookie Betts has hit three home runs in 15 games in the month of August. His recovery from injury has resulted in good performance. Plus, the Los Angeles Dodgers star has the hand advantage against lefty Cade Povich, who is just 1-6 with a 6.10 ERA.

2) Teoscar Hernandez: +350

Pick Teoscar Hernandez to go deep today (Imagn)

Teoscar Hernandez has been a better power hitter than Mookie Betts, with 28 home runs until today. The same logic applies, since he's facing Povich and also has the hand advantage. The Dodgers could tee off tonight, and these two players are prime candidates to play a part.

1) Brent Rooker: +250

Brent Rooker is today's best bet (Imagn)

Brent Rooker has quietly put together quite the season for the Oakland Athletics. He has 31 home runs, the eighth-most in baseball. Today, Rooker is up against Julian Aguiar who has just one decent start under his belt this season. Pick Rooker to take advantage of him vs. the Cincinnati Reds.
