Daily Dingers for Wednesday (August 26th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Chicago Cubs vs Arizona Diamondbacks

Start Time: 3:40 PM EST

Tomorrow could be a good day at the ballpark for Alex Bregman, as his Chicago Cubs visit the Arizona Diamondbacks in the desert. Not only is Bregman on a bit of a heater, with three homers in his past four games heading into action on Tuesday night, but he also will like who he sees on the mound facing him on Wednesday.

The Diamondbacks are starting Eduardo Rodriguez tomorrow, and Bregman has feasted off of his pitching, with three homers in 30 career at-bats.

Best Bet: Alex Bregman (+810)

Minnesota Twins vs Athletics

Start Time: 9:05 PM EST

The (West Sacramento) Athletics are having a miserable season, so it’s not really surprising that they also are allowing the most home runs in the majors. Playing in a minor league ballpark will do that to a team.

So we’re going with a Minnesota Twins player to hit one out tomorrow. Let’s make that player Byron Buxton, who leads the team with 25 dingers, the third time in his injury-plagued career that he’s topped 25 homers in a season.

Best Bet: Byron Buxton (+270)

Bonus Bet: Nolan Arenado (+940)

2026 Overall Record: 32-159 (17%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($667.00)
Return on Investment: -3%
