Best Home Run Picks Today: FanDuel’s Dinger Tuesday
Wander Franco +870 | Miami Marlins vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Wander Franco may not seem like the best target on Dinger Tuesday, but he should still make your bet slip. Franco ranks in the 90th percentile in strikeout rate and xBA. He rarely strikes out and is multidimensional from the plate. The switch-hitting All-Star has 11 home runs this season, with nine coming from the right side of the plate.
Franco will be opposed by Edward Cabrera, who doesn’t bring a ton of funny to the party on Tuesdays. His 14.2% walk rate ranks in the bottom 5% of the league, but he’s allowed a home run in eight of 15 starts this season.
Jason Heyward +800 | Toronto Blue Jays vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers and Dinger Tuesday are a match made in heaven. As a team, they’ve hit the second-most home runs in the league, behind the Atlanta Braves. With a lineup jam-packed with left-handed hitters and going against Chris Bassitt, who has allowed 13 to lefties, it’s pick your poison.
OddsShopper’s tools have distinguished that Jason Heyward is +EV. He’s listed at +550 or worse on all other major sportsbooks. Based on that alone, he should be on your radar. He also fits the mold of left-handed batters facing off against Bassitt. Heyward is pretty much unplayable when facing off against lefties, so he is sure to be slotted into the lineup tonight. With all 10 of his home runs this season coming off righties, including one out last night, Heyward and the Dodgers offense should have bettors rolling in the free bets.
