Tuesdays are for betting on home run props.
The unofficial-official day to bet on MLB player props for homers is the middle of the week — with several sportsbooks offering specific betting promotions related to long balls.
However, none are as popular as FanDuel's Dinger Tuesday, where for two different games, you place a $25 bet on a player to hit a home run and get $5 in bonus bets for every total home run hit in that game (regardless of who hits 'em).
I'll break down the best games to target, including a starting pitcher breakdown and best player values, for Dinger Tuesday tonight, August 13.
Best home run props and odds for FanDuel Dinger Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers at Milwaukee Brewers (American Family Field, 8:40 p.m. ET)

|---|---|---|---|
 Gavin Stone (RHP) |
2.7 | 21.4 | 37.8 |
 Colin Rea (RHP) |
0.8 | 8.0 | 46.3 |
Stone has been no stranger to homers, giving up at least one in six straight games (eight total), with righties posting a much better batting average but lefties posting a near-50% fly-ball rate and more HR in that stretch.
As for Rea, he's allowed a long ball in just one of his last four starts, but most of those were road outings and he's at home tonight — where he has allowed a dinger in seven of his last eight starts.

Colorado Rockies at Arizona Diamondbacks (Chase Field, 9:40 p.m. ET)
(All stats last 30 days)
| Pitcher | HR/9 | HR/FB% | FB% |
|---|---|---|---|
 Austin Gomber (LHP) |
2.8 | 21.4 | 44.4 |
 Eduardo Rodriguez (LHP) |
3.2 | 35.0 | 28.6 |
Gomber has coughed up multiple long balls in his last two starts and allowed one dinger in nine of his last 10 outings (13 total). This is a platoon play, as righties have accounted for nearly all the damage in that span, with 11/13 HR, a .343 average, and 43% fly-ball rate.
E-Rod made his 2024 debut six days ago after being sidelined with a shoulder strain, and went 5 2/3 innings, allowing two home runs to the Guardians. He's historically been pretty equal in terms of platoon splits, with same-side batters actually posting a higher HR/AB throughout his career.

Hitting .357 with a 36% fly-ball rate vs. lefties L14, has hit safely in six straight starts (with one HR). - Ketel Marte, SH (OTB)
Major injury concerns, having left early in two straight starts, but was crushing everything — especially southpaws.
Pick: Eugenio Suarez (+420 at FanDuel)
