  • It’s Dinger Day in the MLB on Tuesday, May 27
  • We’ve got a million games on the slate, so finding two guys to get us paid should be easy
  • See below for my +1742 home run parlay today

t’s all over the news and social media: dingers are down across the board. Some sites are reporting drops in expected dingers in the 30% range. Some are saying it’s even worse. It’s bad. But here’s the thing, that might sound bad, but all I think it means is that dingers are due. Let me tell you all about dingers, they don’t just go away. Guys will never just stop hitting them. We’ve seen dips in the past, and they’ve always come back. Dingers don’t die. They actually multiply.

Lucky for us, we’re not dumb enough to stop betting them. We’re just keep on keeping on around here which is smart because the day the dingers start flying again, we’ll be the ones stuffing cash in our pockets. That day could be as soon as today. Feels right.

Please remember to play both legs straight for a 1/4 unit as well as a 1/4 unit two-leg parlay.

Tuesday HR Parlay Leg #1 – Shohei Ohtani to Hit a Home Run

I can already hear the haters now, “Slop, how are we taking the absolute chalk?” It’s simple, this game we play is about price. So whenever I see the Japanese Babe Ruth priced at +240, it gets my attention pretty quickly, especially since he’s nowhere near +240 at any other book on the planet besides FanDuel. This is a price game we play.

Still, price is cool and all, but what I like most about Shohei tonight is his matchup with Tanner Bibee

PitchOhtani Barrel Rate vs RHP (L30 Days)Bibee Hard-Hit Rate vs LHB (2025)
Four-seam Fastball22%58%
Cutter13%62%

Here’s the thing with Bibee: he’s given up 11 home runs in just 58 innings of work so far this season. That’s bad. Of those 11 home runs, six have come off the bat of a lefty in only 113 plate appearances. I know that Shohei has homered in each of his last two games, but whatever. He goes on runs all the time where he hits dingers in three straight games. Feels right.

Tuesday HR Parlay Leg #2 – Royce Lewis to Hit a Home Run

What we need now is a guy who is flying under the radar a little bit. A man who absolutely destroys baseballs, but isn’t priced like a guy who destroys baseballs. Those guys are not easy to find but I’m pretty sure we have one in Royce Lewis.

If Lewis sees a Taj Bradley, four-seam fastball, we’ll see him jog around the bases. He may even wave to the crowd.

PitchLewis Barrel Rate vs RHP (L30 Days)Bradley Hard-Hit Rate vs RHB (2025)
Four-seam Fastball40%71%

The thing with Lewis is, he’s been hurt for what seems like forever now, so that’s why he’s priced in the +400s. The thing is, he’s hitting the ball very hard at the moment, which lines up perfectly for a matchup with Taj Bradley. Bradley has surrendered five dingers to right-handed hitters in just 127 plate appearances, so he’s ripe. My guess is, Royce smokes the first four-seamer he sees from Bradley tonight. Feels right.
