MLB Best Home Run Bets For Wednesday—Dingler And Alonso
Check out which two right-handed-hitting sluggers with over 25 home runs each this year have the most appealing home run bets on Wednesday’s 15-game MLB slate of action.
In the second half of the MLB season, the best home run bets have turned against bettors, costing them $892 after generating $642 in profit at the MLB All-Star break. The best home run props have a 20-81 record and are currently $250 in the red. However, with power-hitting players like Dillon Dingler and Pete Alonso, there is still a chance to salvage the season and generate a profit.
Dillon Dingler, the catcher for the Detroit Tigers, has hit 26 home runs in 2026, double the number of homers he hit last year. His excellent batting data includes a 17.8-degree launch angle, 19.9% line-drive rate, 44.4% fly-ball rate, 16.7% HR/FB rate, and an impressive 43.0% pull rate. Dingler's matchup today against Freddy Peralta, who has allowed 22 home runs this season, is also favorable. Comerica Park, where the game will be played, ranks 13th in park factor for home runs since 2025 at 108.
Pete Alonso, the first baseman for the Baltimore Orioles, is in the top 10 in MLB in home runs this season with 31 home runs. His powerful batting data includes a 15.2-degree launch angle, 8.8% barrels per plate appearance rate, 13.9% barrels per batted-ball event rate, 56.5% hard-hit rate, and an impressive 97.2 mph exit velocity.
Alonso's matchup against Michael McGreevy, who has allowed 18 home runs this season, is adequate, with McGreevy struggling against right-handed batters with a 19.8% strikeout rate against righties.
