Expert Picks for MLB Home Runs: Adames, Busch, and Henderson Set to Shine

As Major League Baseball gears up for an exciting Friday slate, Jacob Fetner, a SportsLine expert, shares his top home run prop bets. Fetner, who gained 50 units on his MLB home run picks last year, highlights three players to watch: Michael Busch of the Cubs, Gunnar Henderson of the Orioles, and Willy Adames of the Giants. Best Home Run Picks for Friday Michael Busch, Cubs (+520) Fetner believes Busch has a solid chance to hit a home run, especially with a platoon advantage against right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga. Busch boasts a .260 batting average and an .868 OPS against RHP since last season, hitting 33 of his 38 home runs off right-handers. Despite a recent slump, Busch's current conditions (HR Index: 8/10) favor home runs. Gunnar Henderson, Orioles (+430) With a favorable matchup against Tanner Bibee, Henderson is another player to consider. He has an impressive .281 batting average and .837 OPS against RHPs, with 18 of his 23 home runs against right-handers. Recent performance shows Henderson hitting 3 HR in his last 6 games, making him a strong candidate for a homer. Willy Adames, Giants (+388) Adames is positioned well against Zack Littell, who has struggled at home. Despite a .239 average, Adames has a notable 23 home runs against RHPs. He has recently hit 2 homers over his last 5 games and has shown more power on the road, making him a viable option for a long ball. Fetner's insights provide a strategic edge for MLB bettors looking to capitalize on the home run market this Friday.
