Daily Dingers for Thursday (July 2nd): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

St. Louis Cardinals vs Atlanta Braves

Start Time: 7:15 PM EST

Betting on a struggling hitter in Francisco Lindor was a successful play on Wednesday; let’s try to do the same for tomorrow. For Thursday, I’m putting my faith in the Atlanta Braves’ Austin Riley.

Riley only has eight homers in 83 games, well off his normal pace. However, he has gone yard twice in only five career at-bats against tomorrow’s starter for the St. Louis Cardinals, Dustin May.

Best Bet: Austin Riley (+600)

San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers

Start Time: 10:10 PM EST

Unlike Riley, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Andy Pages doesn’t need my help. With 16 homers in 85 games, Pages is ahead of his career-best pace from last season, when he hit 27 homers. When it comes to the Dodgers, the rich get richer.

And with two homers in 10 career at-bats against the San Diego Padres starter Randy Vasquez, Pages has a good chance to add to that total tomorrow.

Best Bet: Andy Pages (+340)

2026 Overall Record: 13-44 (23%)
