Daily Dingers for Friday (August 21st): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Athletics vs Houston Astros

Start Time: 8:10 PM EST

There’s a good chance that the Houston Astros are going to hit some home runs tomorrow, because the Athletics are the league’s worst team and, not surprisingly, allow the most homers in the majors.

So which Astro is going to hit one out? How about first baseman Christian Walker, who has 23 dingers this season and has gone yard in only six career at-bats against tomorrow’s visiting starter, J.T. Ginn.

Best Bet: Christian Walker (+500)

Cleveland Guardians vs Colorado Rockies

Start Time: 8:40 PM EST

We’re getting better odds on a 23-home run hitter in Walker than we are on Jose Ramirez, who has only managed 10 this season. But the pedigree is there.

And J-Ram is due to go on a hot streak, as he normally gets above (or close) to 30 homers a season. The Colorado Rockies allow a bunch of homers as well, so tomorrow could be his day.

Best Bet: Jose Ramirez (+375)

Bonus Bet: Ian Happ (+550)

2026 Overall Record: 29-150 (16%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($1,027.00)
Return on Investment: -6%
