Phillies vs. Reds, 6:40PM ET

BET: JT Realmuto 1+ HR (+330)

Mike Minor is pitching for the Reds tonight and when Mike Minor pitches, you can usually count on Mike Minor giving up a few dingers. Minor has allowed 6 home runs to the opposition over the course of his last four starts and will be fronting up against a Phillies hitting lineup that will be coming out swinging after a lean weekend in New York City against the rampaging Mets. Kyle Schwarber will be missing from the lineup, leaving Hoskins Rhys Hoskins and JT Realmuto as the two best hitters on recent form in the lineup with 6 homers each over the past 30 days. While both guys are good plays here because of how well they can belt a fastball - which is Mike Minor's primary ball of choice - the DimersBOT is siding with Realmuto here as the better value play.

Cubs vs. Nationals, 7:05PM ET

BET: Willson Contreras 1+ HR (+320)

Home run bettors have been blessed on this fine Monday with yet another leaky pitcher starting by the name of Josiah Gray. The Nats ace has given up 8 home runs over his last four starts and should be someone that this Cubs lineup is looking to attack from the get-go. Willson Contreras looks to be our best candidate as one of the most lethal hitters in the Cubbies lineup.
