Daily Dingers for Thursday (Sept 17th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Athletics vs Tampa Bay Rays

Start Time: 1:10 PM EST

I’ve got nothing but sluggers on my home run prop list for Thursday, none more so than Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, who has an American League-best 41 dingers, third most in the majors.

And if there is one thing the Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs does well, it’s giving up home runs (33, third most in the majors). Caminero will take him deep at least once tomorrow.

Best Bet: Junior Caminero (+303)

Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets

Start Time: 7:15 PM EST

New York Mets superstar Juan Soto is on his typical 40-home-run pace this season. The trouble is he’s only played 100 of the Mets’ 151 games this year, so he’s only gone yard 25 times (still tops on the team, however).

There’s a good chance Soto adds to that home run total tomorrow, because the Philadelphia Phillies have Aaron Nola starting for them. The righty has allowed a major-league high of 34 dingers this season (tied with Shota Imanaga), and Soto has taken him yard five times in his career.

Best Bet: Juan Soto (+316)

Bonus Bet: Freddie Freeman (+475)

2026 Overall Record: 38-200 (16%)
