There is a full MLB schedule set for Friday, and for those eager about MLB betting and prop betting regarding home runs, take note of SportsLine expert Jacob Fetner’s targets for the best MLB home run picks. Fetner was notably ahead by 50 units on his MLB HR picks last year, successfully backing Pirates’ Brandon Lowe in both of the team’s wins against the Nationals earlier this week. Here are three of Fetner’s top MLB prop bets for this Friday.
Best Home Run Picks for Friday
- Michael Busch, Cubs (+520)
- Gunnar Henderson, Orioles (+430)
- Willy Adames, Giants (+388)
Michael Busch, Cubs (+520, FanDuel)
“We set Michael Busch’s line at +452 to homer,” noted Fetner. “Michael Busch (bats L) has the favorable matchup against right-handed Kodai Senga. Busch holds a .260 average along with an .868 OPS against RHP since last season, hitting 33 of his 38 home runs off righties. Left-handed hitters have a .250 average and a .782 OPS against Senga covering about 298 plate appearances…”
Gunnar Henderson, Orioles (+430, FanDuel)
“We positioned Gunnar Henderson’s line at +406 to homer,” Fetner explained. “Henderson (bats L) again enjoys a favorable outlook against righty Tanner Bibee. He has a .281 average and .837 OPS vs RHP in the previous season with a clearer picture of 18 homers in 23 big league home runs against right-handers.”
Willy Adames, Giants (+388, DraftKings)
“We established Willy Adames’ line at +387 for a home run,” said Fetner. “Adames has put up a .239 average, .766 OPS vs RHP since last season with 23 of his 33 career homers against right-handed pitchers. He’s shown improved performance on the road…”
