Daily Dingers For Monday (June 1st): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Detroit Tigers vs Tampa Bay Rays

Start Time: 6:40 PM EST

Let’s start things off with a crazy one, shall we? We’ll fittingly swing for the fences on a home run prop bet and sprinkle some money on the Tampa Bay Rays Cedric Mullins.

The former All-Star is having a disastrous first year in a Rays uniform, with a negative WAR and .540 OPS. However, he’s hit tomorrow’s starter for the Detroit Tigers, Ty Maddon, well. In only three at-bats against Maddon, Mullins has a dinger and a 2.334 OPS. At the price we’re getting, why not buy this lottery ticket?

Best Bet: Cedric Mullins (+1000)

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Arizona Diamondbacks

Start Time: 9:40 PM EST

We have some National League West action going down in the desert tomorrow, as the Los Angeles Dodgers come to town to face the Arizona Diamondbacks for the start of their second series of the year. And I’m zeroing in on the Snakes starting pitcher tomorrow, Eduardo Rodriguez, because quite a few Dodgers batters have a good history against him.

Unfortunately, the two best bets are both on the injury list: Teoscar Hernandez and Enrique Hernandez. So, instead, we’ll go with their teammate, Freddie Freeman. Freeman has taken Rodriguez yard before, and has a .933 slugging percentage against him.

Best Bet: Freedie Freeman (+595)
