The MLB best home run bets are in a small funk. Since Bryce Harper and Ozzie Albies hit home runs on July 20, four straight MLB best home run bets have failed to deliver. So, the season's record for MLB best home run bets sits at 18-63, with three no-bets. The record is rock-solid for a long-shot bet, like home run bets. Again, home run bets are long-shot wagers, so losing streaks are part of the equation.
