Daily Dingers for Monday (August 24th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Chicago Cubs vs Arizona Diamondbacks

Start Time: 9:40 PM EST

It takes a really special player to challenge Shohei Ohtani for the MVP award, regardless of league. Well, the Chicago Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong is that special.

There’s been no second-half dip this year for the 24-year-old, as PCA has now hit a career-high 32 homers, including five in his past five games and an MLB-best six over his past 10. With gopher ball specialist Merrill Kelly on the bump tomorrow for the Arizona Diamondbacks, I like Crow-Armstrong’s chances to go yard yet again.

Best Bet: Pete Crow-Armstrong (+340)

Minnesota Twins vs Athletics

Start Time: 9:40 PM EST

Another player swinging a hot bat is the Minnesota Twins’ Brooks Lee, who has also hit a career-high number of dingers this year (19), including three over his last 10 games.

The Athletics send Jeffrey Springs to the mound tomorrow at home, and Springs likes to dish up home run balls, just like Kelly. Let’s keep the heater going, Brooks.

Best Bet: Brooks Lee (+522)

Bonus Bet: Corey Seager (+350)

2026 Overall Record: 32-156 (17%)
