We have made it to yet another Dinger Tuesday during the MLB season. With the NBA and NHL seasons over and football still months away, there is no better time to turn to the MLB and take advantage of this 50% profit boost.

Every Tuesday of the MLB season, all FanDuel users can claim a 50% boost to use on any player to hit a home. All 30 teams are in action, so the possibilities are endless.

This boost is a great opportunity for bettors to get a bigger payout on a player like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, or Cal Raleigh, who has shorter odds of hitting a home run. Bettors can also choose to get even better odds on their longshot home run picks with this promotion.

Keep reading for my home run picks and best bets for Dinger Tuesday on June 24.

Dinger Tuesday Pick #1: Alec Burleson (+710 at FanDuel with 50% Profit Boost)

My first home run pick for Dinger Tuesday is Alec Burleson. He is facing Jameson Taillon, who has not been terrible this season with a 7-4 record and a 3.84 ERA. Taillon has struggled giving up the longball, however, as he has a 1.87 HR/9 in 2025 and just allowed two home runs in his last start.

Burleson just hit a home run yesterday, and he has a great shot at going yard again tonight vs Taillon, whom he has had success against. Burleson is batting .400 and slugging 1.286 against Taillon in his career, with six hits and two home runs in 15 at-bats. Four of the six hits have been extra-base hits.

He has hit four home runs in his last seven games and should stay hot against a pitcher he knows well. Seven of his nine home runs this year have come off right-handed pitchers, and five have come at Busch Stadium. Taillon has been worse on the road, where he has a 4.31 ERA and has allowed ten of his 18 home runs in 2025. Left-handed batters like Burleson have hit eight homers off Taillon this season.

Burleson is +470 to hit a home run tonight at FanDuel, but with the 50% Dinger Tuesday boost, he is now +710. That is a great value for a power-hitter like Burleson, who has a 91.5 exit velocity and 43.9% hard-hit rate.

Dinger Tuesday Pick #2: Ceddanne Rafaela (+540 at FanDuel)

Ceddanne Rafaela has just eight home runs on the year, but I am predicting that he hits his ninth tonight against Tyler Anderson and the Angels.

Angel Stadium is third in ballpark factor over the last three years for right-handed hitters, and Anderson has a 1.67 home run per nine in 2025. Anderson has given up four home runs over his last two starts, and eight of his 15 home runs allowed this season have come against righties.

Rafaela has been hitting the ball well with six hits and two home runs in his last four games. He is slugging better against lefties this season, so he has the power to stay hot tonight.

He is +540 to hit a home run tonight at FanDuel, so a $10 wager would win $54 and result in a $64 payout. Rafaela has a great 90.5 exit velocity and 45% hard-hit rate. Bet on him to go yard tonight vs Anderson.

Dinger Tuesday Pick #3: Max Muncy (+320 at FanDuel)

My next home run pick today is Max Muncy against the Rockies. Muncy is in familiar territory playing in Colorado against German Marquez. Muncy is fresh off a two-home run game and now travels to hitter-friendly Colorado.

Muncy has had a lot of success against Marquez in his career.

Stat CategoryValue
AB32
Hits7
HR4
AVG.219
OBP.333
SLG.625

In 32 at-bats, he might have just seven hits, but four of those have gone over the fence.

Marquez does not give up a lot of home runs for pitching in Colorado, but he has a 6.11 ERA and has struggled against Muncy, and five of the seven homers he has allowed have come against left-handed batters. Even if Marquez escapes without allowing a homer, Muncy will have a chance to feast on Colorado’s bullpen, which has given up the fourth-most home runs in the MLB.

Muncy’s power metrics are there with an exit velocity of 91.2 and a tremendous hard-hit rate of 51.2%. At +320 odds, Muncy has a great chance to hit home run number five against Marquez tonight.
