    With the trade deadline gone, all home run bettors have a chance to strategise for the rest of the regular season. A 15-game slate on Wednesday gives an ideal opportunity for all bettors to test their predictions. Here’s looking at the top five batters more likely to go yard.

    Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets: Top 5 Predictions, August 5, 2026

    Mike Trout (+406)

    Mike Trout is on a three-game hitting streak, but the Los Angeles Angels superstar has gone over a month without hitting a home run. He last went yard on July 8 against the Texas Rangers, his first game back from injury. It was his 18th homer of the season, going with 40 RBIs and a .245 batting average.

    Corey Seager (+400)

    It has been a struggle for Texas Rangers’ Corey Seager, who has seen three Injury List stints this season. He was activated from the 10-day IL on Friday after missing 23 games due to lower back inflammation. He went 3-for-4 on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants and he will be looking to continue that momentum into the series finale.

    Ben Rice (+331)

    Ben Rice is third in the American League with 31 home runs this season. However, he reached that mark ten days ago and has seen a minor slump since the turn of the month. He is yet to register a hit in August, which has seen his season average drop down to .261 to go with 73 RBIs, tied for second in the AL.

    Kyle Stowers (+329)

    With plenty of teams interested in a trade, the Miami Marlins eventually held on to Kyle Stowers after the deadline. He hit four home runs in six games to end July but is yet to open his account this month. The Marlins face the Atlanta Braves, however, Stowers would recognize a chance against starter Bryce Elder (7-6, 3.84 ERA). Stowers went yard against Elder on June 22, last season.

    CJ Abrams (+310)

    CJ Abrams had a superb July where he hit .348/.408/.742 with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs. The Washington Nationals shortstop has raced to 28 homers this year, already eight more than his career best figures two years ago. His .911 OPS in 2026 ranks him eight in the all-MLB list currently. He hit 2-for-4 on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies.
