Daily Dingers for Friday (Sept 11th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago Cubs

Start Time: 2:20 PM EST

Some of the top gopher ball pitchers in the majors are starting tomorrow, so we should have a smorgasbord of home runs and home run hitters to choose from.

Chicago Cubs starter Shota Imanaga is tied for the major league lead with 33 home runs allowed this season. Let’s go with the Pittsburgh Pirates home run leader, Brandon Lowe, to hit one out tomorrow.

Best Bet: Brandon Lowe (+450)

Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves

Start Time: 7:15 PM EST

The Philadelphia Phillies’ one-time ace, Aaron Nola, is another guy showing up on the list pitchers don’t want their names to appear on – the most home runs allowed. Nola is just one homer allowed (32) behind Imanaga and the Athletics’ Jeffrey Springs, sitting in third place in the majors.

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley feasts on Nola’s pitching, hitting six(!) career dingers against the righty. Let’s make that seven (or eight) as of tomorrow night.

Best Bet: Austin Riley (+600)

Bonus Bet: Rafael Devers (+500)
