LM Tipster took Gunnar Henderson over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs. Henderson boasts a .400 OBP over the last two weeks and faces Sam Burke’s 91-mph fastball he crushes at a .600 xwOBA. With Henderson entrenched in the leadoff spot and the Orioles projected for 5.2 runs, LM forecasts multiple opportunities to clear the combo line.

Morgan pegged Gunnar Henderson ($3.2k) as a bargain bat, citing six homers, two triples and three steals despite Baltimore’s struggles. Henderson carries an OPS north of .900 both at home and versus right-handers, while Michael Soroka brings a 6.43 ERA this year and a 5.36 mark across the last three seasons.

At just $3,200, Gunnar Henderson makes Morgan’s bargain list thanks to a .900+ OPS against right-handers and at Camden Yards. The Orioles shortstop faces Michael Soroka, who sports a 6.43 ERA this year and a 5.36 mark over the past three seasons. Henderson’s blend of six homers, two triples, and three steals has Morgan projecting a points-per-dollar smash spot.

Just A Bet Outside spotlighted Gunnar Henderson as another hitter to target for a 1+ hit prop or DFS usage. Henderson is 3-for-4 off Chris Paddack in his brief career and enters play hitting .370 over the past seven days. The left-swinging shortstop owns dramatic home/road and platoon splits—slashing .333 at Camden Yards and .321 versus right-handed pitching compared to .213 and .167 respectively in the opposite situations this season. Paddack’s 1.7 HR/9 and 43% hard-hit rate to lefties further strengthen the matchup. Given the hot bat, friendly park, and ideal handedness edge, the tout expects Henderson to stay locked-in and recommends betting the over on his total bases or simple single hit markets.

Soni targeted Henderson’s +360 home-run prop, pointing to the infielder’s torrid five-game tear (.409/.458/.955, three HR, 1.413 OPS). With Minnesota’s Chris Paddack on the hill, Soni believes the red-hot bat and attractive odds create a high-upside wager for bettors chasing power.

Eric Lindquist said Gunnar Henderson is worth a plus-money home-run sprinkle in Game 1 of Wednesday’s Twins-Orioles double-header. His reasoning: Bailey Ober carries just a 19.4 % K-rate, a 20.2° average launch angle allowed and a fly-ball profile that plays poorly in Camden Yards’ left-handed power alley. Henderson, who struggled in April, has heated up over the past two weeks and is finally elevating the baseball again. Lindquist stressed that the combination of a lefty slugger on the upswing, a park that boosts left-handed power and Ober’s mediocre bat-missing ability justifies attacking Henderson’s HR prop or at minimum his total-bases markets.

Gunnar Henderson is 3-for-5 with a homer (.600) off Carlos Carrasco and has hits in five of his last six. Given Carrasco’s declining velocity, the tout likes Henderson for hits/total bases.

Zarpentine recommended Gunnar Henderson Over 1.5 hits/runs/RBI at -155 despite the short odds. The sophomore shortstop is batting only .227 on the season, but a five-game hitting streak and three overs in his last four contests suggest the breakout is underway. Key matchup note: Henderson is 3-for-5 with a homer off Carlos Carrasco, the veteran righty carrying a 5.26 ERA into Wednesday. With Baltimore’s offense humming and Henderson likely sticking near the top of the order, Zarpentine expects multiple chances to either plate runs or cross the plate himself, making the HRR over a ‘safe’ ladder piece.

Ruffolo recommended Gunnar Henderson to homer at +390. Trevor Williams brings a 5.95 ERA into the start and has surrendered at least one homer in three straight outings. If Henderson doesn’t get him, Ruffolo notes the left‑handed slugger will see a Nationals bullpen sporting a ghastly 7.09 ERA—worst in baseball—and a league‑high home‑run rate. Given Henderson’s pull‑side power and Camden Yards’ favorable conditions, Ruffolo sees plus‑390 as strong value.

Ryan Wormeli urged managers to treat Gunnar Henderson’s slump as a rare chance to trade for a budding superstar. Henderson’s average exit velocity sits at a ridiculous 99.3 mph—100th percentile in MLB—and his hard‑hit rate is likewise maxed out, yet luck has left him with a .214/.233/.310 slash and zero home runs. His strikeout rate has spiked to 37.2% (career high was 25.8%), and walk rate cratered, but Wormeli blamed rust after an injury‑shortened spring and expects both marks to normalize quickly. He watches every Orioles game and says Henderson “smokes two missiles a night right at gloves.” Wormeli projects a return to last year’s near‑40‑homer, 20‑steal pace once BABIP regression hits. He’d trade Bryce Harper and any pitcher outside the absolute elite tier (Skenes, Skubal, Wheeler, Crochet) to get Henderson, calling him still a top‑15 overall asset.

Bill Harrelson identified Gunnar Henderson as a strong pick to have less than half a run in the Orioles' matchup against the Guardians. Henderson has consistently struggled to score lately, going below this number in seven of his last 10 and 14 of his last 20 games. Although his historic head-to-head record against Cleveland hasn't been ideal, Henderson failed to score a run in the most recent game against them. Additionally, sportsbooks like DraftKings are leaning against Henderson scoring as well. These consistent struggles and negative sportsbook odds lead Harrelson to recommend strongly fading Henderson's run-scoring prospects.

Guy Boston highlighted Gunnar Henderson under 1.5 total bases as a compelling play today at -130 odds. Henderson has struggled noticeably against fastballs historically and again this year, and he'll be seeing plenty of them from Arizona pitcher Brandon Pfaadt, who heavily features his fastball. Henderson has failed to surpass the 1.5 base mark in all but one game this season. However, Boston expressed some concern regarding Henderson eventually breaking out of his early slump, cautioning bettors to carefully evaluate the play due to Henderson's proven talent and likelihood he may soon return to form—though ultimately still sees value right now given his struggles versus fastballs.

Jon Metler is recommending Gunnar Henderson to hit a home run at attractive odds of +425 against Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly. His reasoning highlights Henderson's power split, where last season Henderson hit 29 of his 35 home runs against right-handed pitching. Jon strategically picks this matchup due to Arizona's dome providing an optimal, climate-controlled environment beneficial for hitters, contrasting with colder conditions experienced elsewhere in MLB that may limit home run potential.

Jamie Calandro sees Gunnar Henderson as primed for success in his matchup versus Merrill Kelly, who has shown decreased velocity and command issues early in 2025. Henderson rebounded from a slow start with a two-hit performance and multiple stolen bases against Arizona. Last season, Henderson had a strong performance against righties, posting a .405 wOBA and .265 ISO, highlighting his DFS upside for this specific matchup.

Scott Reichel expressed concerns about the Orioles' offense, specifically highlighting Gunnar Henderson's recent struggles since returning to the lineup. Henderson struck out six times in nine at-bats over his past two games, including four strikeouts in one single performance. Reichel believes Henderson's difficulties reflect larger concerns about Baltimore's offensive consistency, noting the Orioles managed only one run in a recent game against Kansas City. He's currently skeptical about the lineup's ability to produce consistently, making Baltimore a team to fade in offensive matchups until they resolve their hitting woes.
