Best MLB Home Run Bets & Picks: Pittsburgh’s Batters Have Value Today 

Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees | 7:05 p.m. ET
OddsShopper’s Target: Colton Cowser at FanDuel

Let’s open with 70% off your first month!

This pick, while bold, makes plenty of sense. Cowser will take on the New York Yankees and struggling RHP Luis Severino. Severino has allowed 10 home runs and 10.9 expected home runs across eight starts and 40 innings pitched since his return from injury. Cowser has 10 home runs in AAA so far this year, eight of which have come against RHPs like Severino. He has an impressive 1.016 OPS against RHPs in AAA as well. Of his 21 extra-base hits in AAA, 18 came against RHPs.

That said, the Our model thinks a fair price is +674 (12.9%), so we’re beating the market and getting a ton of edge by playing this MLB home run pick at +800 (11.1%) via FanDuel Sportsbook. This number is unlikely to remain on the market forever, so if you want to tail the model’s top home run pick today, get your action down soon!

New to Dinger Tuesday and can get $200 in bonus bets by placing a $20 wager!

Best MLB Home Run Bet: Colton Cowser +800 at FanDuel

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Los Angeles Dodgers | 10:10 p.m. ET
Isaiah’s Target: Bryan Reynolds at DraftKings

Let’s flip the script and take a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates today after getting exposure to Freddie Freeman yesterday. Bryan Reynolds ended his multi-game streak without an extra-base hit last night, and I want action on him to run things back tonight against LHP Julio Urias. Urias has struggled this year and owns a 4.94 ERA and 4.40 xERA with 14 home runs and 13.8 expected home runs. Urias has allowed 10 home runs and 19 extra-base hits to RHBs this year.

Reynolds, a switch-hitter, benefits from the matchup against Urias — and from the ballpark. He has nine home runs and 10.5 expected home runs to his name in 2023. Although Reynolds has recorded only one home run and seven extra-base hits against LHPs this year, is hitting .357 with a home run across 14 at-bats against Urias for his career. Dodger Stadium also ranks second in park factors for home runs to LHBs over the last three years.

Let’s get exposure to Reynolds at the current market prices. We can get him to hit a home run at +500 (16.7%) via DraftKings and to record over 1.5 total bases at +125 (44.4%) via DraftKings. We’re beating the market with the total bases prop, as you’ll find the over 1.5 trading at +122 (45.1%) at Pinnacle, a sharp book. Getting exposure to both markets in case he hits a ball that just barely stays in the park is a sharp MLB home run betting strategy. If you haven’t signed up for DraftKings, you can get $150 in bonus bets after placing a $5 wager!
