Daily Dingers For Thursday (June 18th): Best & Most Fun Home Run Bets

New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies

Start Time: 6:40 PM EST

We’re actually sticking around the City of Brotherly Love for a second day, as the Philadelphia Phillies welcome rivals the New York Mets for a three-game series. But this time I’m in on a player from the visiting side.

That player would be Mets superstar Juan Soto. Yes, not a huge stretch of a pick. But Soto has hit Phillies starter Aaron Nola quite well over his career, with three homers and a .946 OPS.

Best Bet: Juan Soto (+290)

Los Angeles Angels vs Athletics

Start Time: 9:40 PM EST

For my final play, we’ve got a Battle of California going down in West Sacramento. Neither the Los Angeles Angels nor the Athletics are world beaters this season, but that doesn’t mean we can’t win money off them.

Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers is having another strong season, with 18 dingers already. And he has two homers in only 11 career at-bats against tomorrow’s starter, Jose Soriano.

Best Bet: Shea Langeliers (+280)

2026 Overall Record: 9-21 (30%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $3,398.00
