Best MLB Home Run Bets & Picks Today for Tuesday, August 29
Athletics-Mariners Home Run Pick
When: 9:40 p.m. ET
Where: T-Mobile Park, Seattle
Justin’s Target: Julio Rodriguez at Caesars
There’s not a hotter hitter in baseball at the moment. Julio Rodriguez is eyeing up the Player of the Month award and even a playoff berth for the Seattle Mariners. Not only is Rodriguez rolling, but the Mariners have also won 10 of their last 12 games and have found themselves atop the AL West.
Rodriguez will be tested by another LHP tonight in Ken Waldichuk, who he has seen already this season. Rodriguez took fellow southpaw starter Kyle Muller deep in the fourth inning to extend his home run streak to three games. The familiarity and the hot streak that he’s on makes this play a no-brainer, especially with the token boost that Caesars is offering.
Rodriguez, a monster when facing LHPs, is hitting a .560 against southpaws in August with two home runs and even two stolen bases. Although Waldichuk may pitch around him, especially after his four-hit game last night, the rest of the Seattle order will be threatening.

Angels-Phillies Home Run Pick
When: 6:40 p.m. ET
Where: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia
Justin’s Target: Alec Bohm at FanDuel
Surprisingly, OddsShopper’s tools. Bohm may be struggling from the plate, but his splits against lefties can’t be ignored, especially against Tyler Anderson who has allowed 11 of his 13 home runs against RHBs this season.
In what is one of the most loaded offenses in the MLB, Alec Bohm is almost an afterthought for the Phillies. They’ve hit the most home runs this month in all of baseball, with Bohm going yard four times. Ironically all four have come at home. We dove into Tyler Anderson and how we’re fading him as our top player prop bet for Angels-Phillies with Bohm being a catalyst of it. He is hitting .315 against LHP, rarely draws a walk, and ranks in the 93rd percentile in xBA%. He is spraying the ball all over the field with some power and should have three chances to hit a home run against Tyler Anderson tonight.
