Daily Dingers for Saturday (August 22nd): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

New York Mets vs Chicago White Sox

Start Time: 7:10 PM EST

Who would have thought that it would be the Chicago White Sox cruising towards postseason action and the New York Mets playing out the string? Strange times.

Anyhow, despite this, I’m in on a Met to hit a homer tomorrow in the Winter City. Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor likes hitting against Sox starter Luis Castillo, with two homers in 15 career at-bats, so he’s the pick.

Best Bet: Francisco Lindor (+375)

Cleveland Guardians vs Colorado Rockies

Start Time: 8:10 PM EST

We’re sticking around Coors Field in Denver for a second day, for the penultimate game between the Cleveland Guardians and the Colorado Rockies, but this time I’m trying my luck on a home player.

Outfielder Mickey Moniak is quietly having another strong season for the Rockies, with 20 homers in only 88 games. And tomorrow he gets to face a pitcher who allows among the most gopher balls in the majors, the Guardians Tanner Bibee. Moniak has taken the righty yard once in eight career at-bats.

Best Bet: Mickey Moniak (+290)

Bonus Bet: Pete Crow-Armstrong (+360)

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