Daily Dingers for Saturday (August 1st): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros

Start Time: 7:10 PM EST

We’re sticking around H-Town for a second helping of the Battle of Texas, as the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros go at it for the second-to-last time tomorrow evening.

Yordan Alvarez is going to hit one out for the home side. Alvarez not only leads the majors with 35 home runs this season, but he’s also hit tomorrow’s Rangers starter, Jacob deGrom, hard over his career, with three homers in nine at-bats.

Best Bet: Yordan Alvarez (+270)

Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves

Start Time: 7:15 PM EST

The Atlanta Braves are going to hit some homers on Saturday night at home, because the Washington Nationals are starting Miles Mikolas. The righty has allowed the fifth-most long bombs in the majors this season.

We might as well count on Braves slugger Matt Olson to do some damage, as he leads the team with 28 homers and has gone deep on Mikolas twice in his career. Let’s make it 29 (or 30) after Saturday night’s action.

Best Bet: Matt Olson (+456)

Bonus Bet: Jeremy Pena (+710)

2026 Overall Record: 18-102 (15%)
