Wild Card Daily Dingers for Thursday (Oct 1st): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

Philadelphia Phillies vs Atlanta Braves

Start Time: 2:00 PM EST

My lone home run prop hit from the Wild Card Round thus far has come from this series between National League East rivals the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves. And hitting a home run bet on Kyle Schwarber isn’t much of a feat, as the man is known to mash.

With me typically offering up three different home run props per day, I guess we have three shots at getting one right from this game. It looks likely that Aaron Nola will get the start for the visitors tomorrow, which is good news because he allowed the most homers in the majors this season. Braves hitters Austin Riley and Matt Olson have taken Nola yard seven and five times in their careers, respectively, so I’m going with those two guys tomorrow.

For the Phillies, I’m going with Bryce Harper to hit another one out. He has a homer off of expected Braves starter Grant Holmes in only eight career at-bats.

Best Bets: Austin Riley (+810), Matt Olson (+490), Bryce Harper (+500)
