Best MLB Home Run Props Today: Freddie Freeman Finding His Power Stroke

There aren’t many games on today’s schedule, but there are some fantastic anytime home run bets out there. A surging Freddie Freeman is one of the ones we love as he seems to have re-discovered his power stroke. We’ll share why we like him to deep today, along with two other home run bets we love.

Home Run Picks for Thursday, May 15

Daulton Varsho 1+ Home Runs (+333) at Caesars Sportsbook

Varsho missed the first month of the season with an injury, but has returned to post some impressive power numbers. He has gone deep five times over the last two weeks, leading to a fantastic .667 slugging percentage. We’re going to ride his hot streak to a win this night.

Zack Littell (2-5, 4.40 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) will be starting for the Rays today. The 29-year-old has been lowering his ERA over the last month, but has been susceptible to the long ball. He has allowed multiple home runs in three of his last six starts, for a total of eight.

Varsho has faced Littell nine times, posting a .444 average and one home run.

Freddie Freeman 1+ Home Runs (+275) at Caesars Sportsbook

Freddie Freeman has bounced back from a disappointing 2024 campaign in a big way. He ranks second in batting average (.366) and OPS (1.145), and now his power stroke is returning. He has gone deep four times in May, thanks to an elite .442 batting average.

After an incredible start to the season, A’s starter Osvaldo Bido (2-3, 4.75 ERA, 1.51 WHIP) has not looked like a big league pitcher. He has been hammered over his last four starts, registering a 6.86 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP. 

Expect to see the inexperienced starter struggle badly against Freeman and the Dodgers. Once he exits, one of the worst bullpens in the league will be taking over. That means Freeman will have excellent odds to go deep through this game, which is why we’re locking this bet in.

Gunnar Henderson 1+ Home Runs (+340) at Caesars Sportsbook

It took some time for the Orioles' young superstar to get going in 2025, but he has been red-hot in May. Henderson owns a 1.022 OPS, which has been going up as the shortstop’s home run total goes up. He is an MVP-level player when locked in, which was the case in May.

Gunnar Henderson will face Chris Paddack (1-3, 4.76 ERA, 1.29 WHIP) for the second time in his career. When these two met in 2024, Henderson went 3-for-4 at the plate with a home run and three RBIs. While Paddack has been pitching better over the last month, he has been far from perfect.

Look for Henderson to have the upper hand against Paddack once again and send one of his pitches to the outfield bleachers.
