Daily Dingers for Saturday (August 8th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Athletics vs Boston Red Sox

Start Time: 4:10 PM EST

Wilyer Abreu doesn’t currently lead the Boston Red Sox in homers (Willson Contreras has 23), but that may not be the case for much longer. The 27-year-old right fielder is on a tear.

Abreu has five homers over his past 10 games, tied for best in the majors, and four in his last four games, bringing him up to 20 for the season.

Best Bet: Wilyer Abreu (+405)

Toronto Blue Jays vs Philadelphia Phillies

Start Time: 6:05 PM EST

Two former teammates face each other tomorrow in Philly, as the Philadelphia Phillies host the Toronto Blue Jays. This brings us another round of Max Scherzer vs Bryce Harper.

Scherzer isn’t having a good season, which isn’t much of a surprise considering he is 42 years old, and facing Harper won’t make things any better for Mad Max. The slugger has four career dingers against his former Washington Nationals teammate, and Harper’s 24 homers are among the tops in the majors (tied for 15th, to be exact).

Best Bet: Bryce Harper (+525)

Bonus Bet: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+733)

2026 Overall Record: 21-118 (15%)
