Daily Dingers for Saturday (August 29th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Francisco Giants

Start Time: 4:05 PM EST

The Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Francisco Giants love baseball so much that they are playing two games tomorrow in the Bay. My home run prop comes from Game 1, when Merrill Kelly takes the mound for the visitors.

Kelly has allowed 26 long balls this season, tied for the seventh-most in the majors. Giants slugger Rafael Devers has gone yard against Kelly once in his career, and has been swinging a hot bat, with four homers over his past 10 games and three in his last four.

Best Bet: Rafael Devers (+500)

Baltimore Orioles vs Athletics

Start Time: 10:05 PM EST

With my next play, instead of targeting a particular pitcher in Kelly, I’m targeting a pitching staff and a ballpark. That would be the Athletics, who have given up the most homers in the majors this season.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso likes to hit dingers – his 32 are eighth-most in the majors this season, and he’s gone yard five times in his past 10 games.

Best Bet: Pete Alonso (+240)

Bonus Bet: Julio Rodriguez (+710)

2026 Overall Record: 32-168 (16%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($1,567.00)
