Daily Dingers for Sunday (August 2nd): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Cleveland Guardians

Start Time: 1:40 PM EST

We’ll start in the Mistake on the Lake, as the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Cleveland Guardians wrap up their lone series this season. And I’ve got a first-time pick for me, from the Guardians.

That would be Kyle Manzardo, who leads the team with 13 home runs. Manzardo has two dingers in his past four games heading into Saturday night’s action, and Sunday’s Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly has allowed the eighth-most long balls in the majors this season.

Best Bet: Kyle Manzardo (+525)

Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros

Start Time: 2:10 PM EST

We may as well make it three days in a row betting on the Battle of Texas between the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros. And my play on Sunday is a replay of Saturday’s play.

It’s no surprise that it’s Yordan Alvarez, who leads the majors in home runs, and has hit two in only four career at-bats against tomorrow’s Rangers starter, Kumar Rocker.

Best Bet: Yordan Alvarez (+300)

Bonus Bet: Cal Raleigh (+456)

2026 Overall Record: 19-105 (15%)
