Daily Dingers for Saturday (August 15th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs

Start Time: 2:20 PM EST

We’re hitting up Friday’s matchups again tomorrow for my bets, but with different players. For tomorrow’s St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs game, I’m in on another Cub player to hit one out.

That player tomorrow is first baseman Michael Busch, who has 14 homers this year but likes hitting against Saturday’s starter, Michael McGreevy. Busch has two homers in only eight career at-bats against the righty.

Best Bet: Michael Busch (+500)

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Atlanta Braves

Start Time: 7:15 PM EST

For Saturday’s Arizona Diamondbacks-Atlanta Braves tilt, I’m not getting fancy with my play – I’m taking the Braves’ Matt Olson, who is tied for second in the majors with 35 home runs.

Not only that, but Olson is tied for the league lead with five homers over his past 10 games. Plus, he’s gone yard in just 10 career at-bats against Saturday’s Snakes starter Eduardo Rodriguez. Sometimes the simple play is the right play.

Best Bet: Matt Olson (+330)

Bonus Bet: Kyle Schwarber (+265)

2026 Overall Record: 26-133 (16%)
