MLB Home Run Parlay Picks for Thursday, May 15
Despite a light slate on Thursday, we’re still hunting for value—specifically, three power hitters poised to leave the yard. Let’s break down a home run parlay that comes in at +10305 odds, even on a day with limited MLB action.
Sure, Thursdays can feel underwhelming after the frenzy of games on Wednesday. But that just means fewer distractions and a better focus for finding the right spots. Even with a slim board, the job stays the same: identify three sluggers with favorable matchups and swing for the fences—literally.
As always, it’s wise to play each leg of this parlay individually for a ¼ unit and pair them in two-leg combinations as well. Now, let’s dive in.
Home Run Parlay for Thursday, May 15
Leg 1: Gunnar Henderson to Hit a Home Run (+360) – FanDuel
We’re starting with a reliable bat in Gunnar Henderson. His recent exit velocity numbers have been exceptional, and he’s coming off a doubleheader just yesterday—so he should be dialed in.
Now factor in the pitching matchup: Chris Paddack, who’s known for giving up hard contact and struggling in daytime starts. In just 22 innings during the day, Paddack has allowed four home runs and 18 earned runs. Henderson has already hit one out against him before—don’t be surprised if he does it again.
Leg 2: Freddie Freeman to Hit a Home Run (+360) – FanDuel
Next up is a late-night hammer: Freddie Freeman against Osvaldo Bido in the Dodgers vs. A’s matchup.
Freeman hasn’t hit as many triple-digit exit-velocity bombs lately, but he’s still making strong contact. He just missed a homer with a 365-foot flyout earlier this week. Against Bido, who tends to give up plenty of pulled fly balls, Freeman’s approach should play well. Look for him to strike early—possibly even in the first inning.
Leg 3: Brent Rooker to Hit a Home Run (+360) – FanDuel
To close out the parlay, we’re turning to Brent Rooker. Yes, he may have disappointed yesterday, but today brings a fresh opportunity—especially with the pitching uncertainty surrounding the Dodgers.
If this turns into a bullpen game for Los Angeles, that only boosts Rooker’s chances. The Dodgers’ bullpen ranks among the worst in MLB over the past two weeks in terms of barrel rate. Rooker nearly took Yamamoto deep last night, and he’s more than capable of finishing the job today. He’s the perfect bat to wrap up this long-odds play.
Recap:
– Gunnar Henderson to Hit a Home Run (+360)
– Freddie Freeman to Hit a Home Run (+360)
– Brent Rooker to Hit a Home Run (+360)
Parlay all three for a potential return of +10305. Remember to also bet those legs individually and in pairs to manage variance.
Now let’s root for the long ball.
