How should you bet Dinger Tuesday?
There are multiple approaches to this promo: you could place a bet on the most likely player to hit a home run in any given game; if they hit one, you cash in plus have the potential of bonus bet payouts for any additional home runs. You could also target a longshot with hopes of a massive payout and the chance to get some of your bet back if it loses. Either way, you want to target games with a high total and a stronger chance for home runs.
Regardless of which strategy you choose, we’ve identified the White Sox vs. Blue Jays game as tonight’s best value for capitalizing on Dinger Tuesday at FanDuel. Below, you’ll find a preview of the game along with the five players we’ve identified with a double-digit HR probability, as well as an edge over the book with their posted odds.
White Sox vs. Blue Jays 7:07PM EST Preview
*Updated at 4:00PM EST to reflect Blue Jays lineup
The Blue Jays will send Jose Berrios to the mound as Mike Clevinger will toe the rubber for the White Sox. Berrios has largely struggled since being traded from the Twins to the Blue Jays during the 2021 season. Though he's allowed a single home run all year, his statcast shows home run ball potential.
Mike Clevinger allowed his first two homers of the year in his last start and now faces one of the toughest hitting lineups in baseball. Our model loves the Blue Jays sluggers tonight so we're highlighting the five home run props to target at Rogers Centre.

It's rare to see a player projected with a home run probability over 30% but that's exactly what the model sees for Vladdy tonight. There's great value in his +330 odds, which imply just a 23.3% probability, especially on a night when the home run lines at FanDuel are typically a little shorter due to the Dinger Tuesday promotion.
If you're looking to mix it up, Oscar Colas of the White Sox offers a look, at +800 with a 14.4% projected probability.

It’s worth noting that all of these home run props have better odds on DraftKings and BetMGM, and sometimes significantly, but you won’t get the advantage of the Dinger Tuesday bonus bets. They are still recommended plays on the other books, especially with a larger payout.
