Regardless of which strategy you choose, we’ve identified the Cubs vs. Angels 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 an HR probability over 20%, as well as an edge over the book with their posted odds.

Cubs vs. Angels 9:38PM EST Preview

Dinger Tuesday Best Bets

Player	Odds	Probability
Mike Trout	+285	32.9%
Shohei Ohtani	+285	30.6%
Hunter Renfroe	+370	30.1%
Jared Walsh	+520	23.1%
Brandon Drury	+420	23.0%

Our model is absolutely in love with the Angels today. We have three props at 30% or greater in the same game which is uncommon. Hunter Renfroe gets the best value with nearly a 10% edge at +370. You'll obviously have to pay up for notable sluggers Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, but both make a fair play. 

As far as pitching matchups go, Hayden Wesneski (4.81 ERA) takes the mound for the Cubbies. He's a vulnerable pitcher, with a low fastball velocity and a penchant for giving up barrels (the perfect combination of launch angle and exit velocity). He's allowed ten home runs this year and is two starts removed from a four-HR outing against the Twins, a lineup not unlike the Angels in terms of power potential.

Tyler Anderson (5.47 ERA) toes the rubber for the Angels in this one. Our model isn't pulling any value in the home run props for the Cubs lineup. Anderson has been two different pitchers this year; he allowed six home runs in April before settling down and giving up just one last month. He's not an extreme home run pitcher in terms of his Statcast metrics, but that's why we're backing the Angels hitters. Any homers form the Cubs can just add to our bonus bet take, after all.

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.
