Daily Dingers for Friday (July 31st): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

The thing is, all my picks for my homer props end up having really good games – they just don’t hit home runs. Maybe that changes tomorrow? For my Daily Dingers for Friday (July 31st): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets, we’re off to Daikin Park in Houston, Texas, and Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California. Let’s get this money!

Daily Dingers for Friday (July 31st): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros

Start Time: 8:15 PM EST

We’ll kick things off with a Battle of Texas, with the Houston Astros hosting the Texas Rangers. The Rangers are starting Nathan Eovaldi, who has allowed the (tied for) sixth-most home runs in the majors this season.

So the Astros are going to hit some dingers tomorrow. Let’s bet on Jose Altuve being one of them, as he’s taken Eovaldi deep seven times(!!) in his career.

Best Bet: Jose Altuve (+809)

Detroit Tigers vs Athletics

Start Time: 9:40 PM EST

To West Sacramento now, where the Detroit Tigers are going to light up Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs. How do I know that? Springs has allowed a major league-worst 27 homers this season.

The Tigers’ Spencer Torkelson hit a home run on Thursday, giving him 20 for the season. He’s taken Springs to the cheap seats twice in only six career at-bats, so I like him getting to #21 tomorrow night.

Best Bet: Spencer Torkelson (+488)

Bonus Bet: Willy Adames (+488)

2026 Overall Record: 18-101 (15%)
