Three homer picks headline Thursday’s short MLB slate: Gunnar Henderson, Francisco Lindor, and Kerry Carpenter. Henderson goes against Logan Evans, whose 1.6 HR/9 hints at a power-friendly matchup for the Orioles rookie, who has flashed big power with 14 homers this season. Lindor draws Bryce Elder, a pitcher with elevated homer risk and a rough 6.12 ERA profile, presenting a prime chance for a Lindor homer. Carpenter anchors Detroit’s lineup against Bailey Ober, whose 2.0 HR/9 allows for a Tigers bomb from Carpenter, Detroit’s slugging leader at .539.

Odds tilt toward upside: Henderson at +370, Lindor at +400, Carpenter at +265, offering a trio of monster-home-run paths across a handful of games. Expect high-variance, big-play potential from these bets, with Carpenter representing the value play given the opponent and Tigers’ power profile.
