MLB best Home Run bets: 3 home run props for Thursday 6/8

It's a beautiful day around most of the country for some baseball, which means it's a beautiful day to cash some juicy tickets on MLB home run props. Here are my three favorite bets to hit a homer on Thursday night's slate.

Michael Conforto +450

Michael Conforto has slugged a respectable 11 home runs this season, and I think he has a great chance to make it 12 Thursday afternoon. In 18 career at-bats against Colorado Rockies starter Chase Anderson, Conforto has hit three homers. This game is also being played at Coors Field in the Mile High City, which will only help Conforto's chances to go yard.

Anthony Rizzo +370

Anthony Rizzo has cracked 11 homers this season, but he hasn't gone deep in any of his last 11 games. The good news is he's getting a positive matchup Thursday against Chicago White Sox starter Lance Lynn in Game 1. In 37 career at-bats against Lynn, Rizzo is hitting .324 with seven extra-base hits and two home runs. Lynn has also given up the third-most homers in the MLB this year, so I'll take a crack at the +370 here.

Mike Trout +290

Mike Trout is in the midst of a minor cold streak with only three hits in his last 26 plate appearances, but the Los Angeles Angels slugger did go deep Wednesday for his 14th home run of the season. On Thursday night, Trout will face Drew Smyly, whom he's taken deep twice in 18 at-bats. When Trout gets hot, the home runs tend to pile up rather quickly, so let's hope he found something at the plate yesterday.
