Here are the best home run prop bets to make for <strong>Thursday, August 13!<\/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\"><strong>MLB Home Run Prop Best Bet of the Day #1: Josh Bell (MIN) +470<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Byron Buxton is slated to return tonight we\u2019re going to go with Josh Bell to hit his home run prop tonight as he\u2019s helped carry the Twins offense while Buxton has been on the shelf recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August Bell is batting .375 while slugging .625 including three home runs as the Twins and Phillies play in the Field of Dreams game which kicks off their three-game series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aaron Nola takes the mound for Philadelphia leading the league in home runs given up this season among all pitchers with 29. He\u2019s given up nine home runs across his last five starts and on the season has allowed 18 of his 29 home runs to left handed batters like Bell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two have crossed paths quite a few times with Bell\u2019s stints in the NL with Pittsburgh, Washington and Miami with the Twins DH going just 8-41 all-time against Nola but three of those eight hits were home runs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eleven of Bell\u2019s 16 home runs have come off right handed pitching so<strong> let\u2019s go with him to hit his home run prop at +470<\/strong> tonight with other Twins batters capable of hitting their home run prop includes <strong>Buxton (+285)<\/strong> and <strong>Kody Clemens (+360)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MLB <strong>Home Run Prop<\/strong> Best Bet of the Day #2: Jackson Chourio (MIL) +360<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brewers and Dodgers start up their series in Los Angeles tonight with righty Roki Sasaki getting the start for the Dodgers. Sasaki has actually been pretty good with limiting home runs as of late with only two allowed in his last three starts, but on the season he has allowed 13 of his 21 total home runs at home in just 50.1 innings pitched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has allowed 11 of 21 home runs to right handed batters while allowing a .520 slugging percentage compared to a .434 slugging percentage allowed to lefties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chourio has had a hot bat as of late batting .286 and slugging .595 in August including three home runs over the last seven days. Sure, only five of Chourio\u2019s 17 home runs have come on the road this season, but 12 have come during night games and 12 have come against right handed pitching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He\u2019s just four home runs away from tying his 2024 and 2025 season home run total so let\u2019s go with <strong>Chourio to hit his home run prop tonight at +360 odds<\/strong>. Other Brewers hitters to consider for a home run prop includes <strong>Jake Bauers (+400)<\/strong> and <strong>William Contreras (+480)<\/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_40447\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;list=PLhz4vN97EdvhLDiG6QgiDH1cA7xReWX6P&#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 data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"\u26be\ufe0f Free MLB Picks Today: Your Guide to Winning MLB Bets!\"  data-facadeoembed=\"playlist?list=PLhz4vN97EdvhLDiG6QgiDH1cA7xReWX6P\"  \/><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>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoyed the Home Run Prop Bets?
