Here are the best home run prop bets to make for <strong>Wednesday, August 20!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Home Run Prop Bets &#8211; MLB Free HR Props Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tyler Soderstrom (ATH) +350<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyler Soderstrom looks to extend his seven-game hitting streak tonight as the Athletics and Twins play the second game of their series in Minnesota. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bailey Ober gets the start for the Twins who has been mediocre this season overall. He has given up 13 of his 24 total home runs at home and 15 of 24 home runs to left handed batters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His recent form has been average at best as well allowing seven combined home runs across his last four starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soderstrom has been crushing the ball in August batting .327 while posting a .582 slugging percentage and 19 of his 22 home runs coming against right handed pitching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soderstrom is 2-6 with a home run all-time against Ober with the Athletics outfielder also smacking 13 of his 22 home runs on the road this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take <strong>Soderstrom to hit his home run prop tonight with odds listed at +350<\/strong>. Other Athletics batters to look at for a home run prop includes <strong>Shea Langeliers (+290)<\/strong> and <strong>Brent Rooker (+340)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB HR Props Best Bet of the Day #2: Christian Yelich (MIL) +500<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cubs won both games of yesterday\u2019s double header between them and the Brewers as these two go at it once again tonight in Chicago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian Yelich had a home run in game 1 of yesterday\u2019s double header and we think he has a solid chance to hit his home run prop once again tonight. He\u2019s been on fire in August so far batting .329 while slugging .614 including six home runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Righty Colin Rea gets the start for the Cubs who has allowed 14 of his 19 home runs during home starts, but Rea actually hasn\u2019t allowed a home run across his last four starts (19.2 IP) so we think there is some regression to the means tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rea has allowed 13 of his 19 total home runs allowed to lefties while allowing them to post a .513 slugging percentage this season compared to right handed batters slugging just .357. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yelich has performed better on the road overall this season batting .301 while slugging .506 on the road compared to batting just .222 with a .420 slugging percentage at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We get <strong>great value on Yelich\u2019s home run prop tonight at +500 odds<\/strong> with other Brewers to look at for a home run prop includes <strong>Andrew Vaughn (+600)<\/strong> and <strong>William Contreras (+800)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_80049\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I_JtDshe974?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Wednesday MLB Predictions &amp; Best Bets | MLB Top Picks for August 20, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/I_JtDshe974\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I_JtDshe974\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Wednesday MLB Predictions &amp; Best Bets | MLB Top Picks for August 20, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\u26be\ufe0f Wednesday MLB Predictions &amp; Best Bets | MLB Top Picks for August 20, 2025 | Drew\u2019s Daily Diamond: Get MLB best bets, predictions, picks, and daily baseball betting tips from expert handicapper Drew Martin on Drew&#039;s Daily Diamond!
