Daily Dingers for Sunday (August 16th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets
Washington Nationals vs New York Mets
Start Time: 1:40 PM EST
It’s been a forgettable season for the New York Mets, not helped by the extended absences of Francisco Lindor. However, the multi-time All-Star shortstop is currently healthy and also on a heater.
Lindor has two homers over his past four games, and with Jake Irvin pitching for the Washington Nationals tomorrow, there’s a good chance that Lindor stays hot. The 32-year-old has two career homers against the righty.
Best Bet: Francisco Lindor (+525)
San Diego Padres vs Cleveland Guardians
Start Time: 1:40 PM EST
A gopher-serving pitcher is on the mound for the Cleveland Guardians tomorrow, Tanner Bibee, so I’m getting in on a San Diego Padres home run prop play (actually, two – see bonus bet below).
Padres’ designated hitter Gavin Sheets might not seem like the obvious play, but he’s taken Bibee yard in half of his career at-bats against the righty (full disclosure: it’s only been two at-bats, but still).
Best Bet: Gavin Sheets (TBA)
Bonus Bet: Fernando Tatis Jr. (+550)
2026 Overall Record: 26-136 (16%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($997.00)
Return on Investment: -6%
