Best MLB Home Run Bets: Lock In This Expert's Best MLB Player Prop Bets for Thursday

We only needed one, but Jake Burger came through with two home runs last night. Therefore, we cashed in on a +340 home run prop to hopefully begin a new streak tonight.

Here are three home run props you'll want to look at before the games begin.

August 8 Best MLB Home Run Props

Mark Vientos to Hit a Home Run (+340) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS

Mark Vientos has nailed a .368 ISO and wOBA of .518 against his last 19 lefties. He's also struck out 21.1% of the time and will be hitting during the day in Coors Field.

Furthermore, Vientos will face lefty pitcher Austin Gomber, who has allowed a .371 ISO and wOBA of .413 to his last 73 righties.

Gomber's strikeouts have increased against righties. He also doesn't walk batters very much. But when righties make contact, Gomber allows a lot of hard contact and plenty of fly balls.

Righties have hit 66.7% of hard contact against Gomber over the last month. They've also hit 31.4% of fly balls and 25.5% of line drives. If Vientos connects, he can launch one over the fence.

Zach Neto to Hit a Home Run (+600) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS

Zach Neto has been looking like Mike Trout at the plate recently. The Angels shortstop has smacked a .385 ISO and wOBA of .637 against his last 15 lefties. He's also struck out just 6.7% of the time and has carried the Angels' offense.

Tonight, he'll face off against lefty Nestor Cortes, who has allowed a .391 ISO and wOBA of .479 to his last 72 righties. Cortes has also struck out righties just 15.3% of the time and has allowed 54.5% of hard contact with 30% of fly balls.

Neto has hit 50% of hard contact and has smacked a 16.7% barrel percentage against lefties over the last month. Let's see if he can continue his dominance tonight.

Brandon Lowe to Hit a Home Run (+420) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS

Brandon Lowe didn't come through for us yesterday. But we're going to try again tonight.

Lowe has hit a .305 ISO and wOBA of .448 against his last 65 righties. The left-handed batter has hit 32.6% of line drives, 32.6% of fly balls, 56.5% of hard contact, and a 17.4% barrel percentage against righties over the last month.

He'll take on Kyle Gibson of the Cardinals. Gibson is a veteran pitcher who has allowed a .186 ISO and wOBA of .359 to his last 48 lefties faced. Those 48 lefties have struck out only 10.4% of the time and have hit 52.6% of hard contact with 34.2% of line drives.

Lowe matches up even better than yesterday.
