Daily Dinger: Best MLB Home Run Picks Today (Bet on Pete Alonso, Teoscar Hernandez)

It’s a condensed MLB slate on Thursday with a lone afternoon game as teams travel to the next location for its weekend series, but we still have a full serving of home run prop bets.

I’m targeting Pete Alonso on Thursday against his former teammate Taijuan Walker as well as two other hitters to go deep on the limited slate. Alonso is hitting only .225 but remains one of the most dangerous sluggers in the bigs.

Find out how I’m attacking the home run prop bet market on Thursday below, with odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets for Thursday, May 16

  • Connor Joe (+560)
  • Teoscar Hernandez (+400)

Pete Alonso (+480)

Alonso is struggling overall this season, but still has immense power, crushing nine home runs on the season with an 87th percentile barrel percentage.
