The BetSided team unfortunately did NOT hit a dinger yesterday, but to be fair, Byron Buxton was out of the starting lineup for the Twins.

Tonight, we look to get back on track as we aim for another home run prop bet to hit.

All odds are listed below at their respective sportsbooks. You can follow along in our team standings all season long HERE!

Best Home Run Picks Today

  • Pete Alonso (+215) - DraftKings Sportsbook
  • Aaron Judge (+220) - PointsBET Sportsbook
  • Bobby Witt Jr. (+425) - DraftKings Sportsbook

Pete Alonso - New York Mets vs. Washington Nationals

I backed Pete Alonso earlier in this series and he went yard, and I’m doing it again on Wednesday night. 

The New York Mets are taking on Washington Nationals starter Anibal Sanchez, who has allowed five homers and 13 runs in just three starts this season. 

Alonso is fantastic against Sanchez in his career, hitting .556 with two homers and four runs batted in through nine at-bats. I’ll trust Alonso to stay hot against one of the league’s worst pitchers. – Peter Dewey

Aaron Judge - Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees

Looking at the Daily Dinger standings, I need a win in the worst way. I’m going to stop overthinking it and back Judge. It doesn’t matter who’s on the mound, Judge is absolutely dominating the league this season. At 43 homers, he has 10 more than second place.

With the Yankees being at home, I like Judge to take advantage of that short right field and go deep. – Donnavan Smoot

Bobby Witt Jr. - Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox

I'm on Bobby Witt Jr. for the second straight day, but I can't look past the fact that White Sox starter, Lance Lynn, is allowing 1.9 home runs per nine innings this season. Which means, odds are, someone on the Royals is hitting a dinger today.

He missed for me yesterday, but I'm going to back the hot rookie to get it done for me today, and I like the price at +425.
