HR picks for May 15
Gunnar Henderson (+360 at DraftKings)
Gunnar Henderson’s season started a little bit late due to injury, but he’s finally found his footing. The Baltimore Orioles slugger is batting .275 with six homers in 34 contests. He went deep 37 times last year, and it’s very clear that Henderson is one of the best power hitters in the Majors.
The shortstop has three long balls in his last five games, and in four of those contests, he had two hits. Today’s matchup plays in his favor: the Orioles will face Minnesota Twins right-hander Chris Paddack, who has given up seven home runs already in 2025.
Henderson is 3-for-4 lifetime against the right-hander with a homer, and he could leave the ballpark again this afternoon.
Shohei Ohtani (+155 at DraftKings)
There are only two players in the MLB who have daily home run odds below +200 — Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani.
When it comes to Ohtani, he ranks fourth in the MLB in homers with 13. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar went deep on Wednesday against the Athletics and boasts five dingers in his last nine appearances.
The Japanese phenom is always a threat to put one in the bleachers, and he’s smacked six of his home runs at Dodger Stadium. LA hosts the A’s again tonight.
Although Ohtani is 0-for-4 lifetime against A's starter Osvaldo Bido, I’ll still ride this bet given how hot he's been.
Adolis Garcia (+500 at DraftKings)
Adolis Garcia has insane power when he connects.
The Texas Rangers outfielder has six long balls to his name this season and went deep on Wednesday in the series finale against the Colorado Rockies. Tonight, Garcia will face Houston Astros stud Hunter Brown.
Despite Brown's recent dominance, Garcia has had a lot of success against him. He’s 5-for-15 lifetime with a pair of home runs, and the right-handed power hitter also has 13 bombs in 60 games versus Houston.
