Home Run Odds: MLB Picks & Dinger Tuesday Promos For April 22, Including Pete Alonso

Written By Eli Hershkovich | Published at April 22, 2025

MLB bettors can tally bonus bets while sweating home run wagers every Tuesday. In this article, I'll dish out home run odds and potential bets for April 22. Remember that these evaluations apply to fantasy sports picks and MLB odds.

FanDuel Dinger Tuesdays have returned. Unfortunately, FanDuel Sportsbook no longer issues out bonus bets. Instead, it's opted to switch the promo under "Dinger Tuesday" to award a 50% profit boost on any "To Hit A Home Run" wager. Parlay bets and same-game parlays are eligible if every bet is "To Hit A Home Run."

DraftKings Sportsbook offers a "no-sweat home run" bet every day this baseball season.

Opt-in and apply your no-sweat token for MLB home odds. The wager can be a parlay, same-game parlay, or SGPx bet. If the bet that you use your no-sweat token after opting in loses, you get a bonus bet returned to your account.

Best Home Run Bets For April 22 MLB Promos

I'll provide a few home run bets every Tuesday. Remember that the situations apply to more than just the player named. You can use that logic with many players when targeting pitchers, bullpens, or homer-friendly conditions. For instance, if we select Aaron Judge, but you want a longer shot, you can easily bet on Ben Rice instead.

Pete Alonso:

Citi Field is slightly above average among long-ball-friendly stadiums this season (102 park factor), and Alonso continues to mash southpaws. He's tallied a slash line of .375/.500/.750 with one home run in only 16 at-bats.

Even against Phillies left-hander Christopher Sanchez, an NL Cy Young candidate, Alonso's home run odds don't necessarily reflect his potential to go yard in a plus-matchup. Sanchez has yielded a 22.2% HR/FB rate, ranking in the bottom five among qualified starting pitchers.

Nevertheless, the most popular home run odds on the board aren't always the ones that cash in, like Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos. Among Monday's MLB action, BetMGM Sportsbook reported more bets on the Phillies' outfielder to hit a dinger than on any team to win.

Given the volatility involved with home run odds, whether you're betting on Alonso or another player to go yard, I recommend only tossing some pizza money on this prop bet.

Bryan Reynolds:

After accumulating at least 24 home runs over the last four seasons, the Pirates' outfielder is off to a slow start while playing through a teres major muscle strain in the back of his right shoulder. However, he could benefit from playing in Angel Stadium, tied for the fifth-highest park factor (112) for home runs in 2025.

Additionally, the switch-hitting Reynolds has historically delivered more pop versus right-handed pitchers, and he'll face one in José Soriano. The Angels' No. 2 starter has surrendered a 14.3% HR/FB rate thus far.
