We have reached another Tuesday in the MLB season, which means it is a great day to bet on home run props. Not only are all 30 MLB teams in action tonight, but FanDuel is offering their weekly home run promotion during the MLB season.

New and existing FanDuel users can opt in and claim a 50% profit boost to use on a player to hit a home run tonight. Users can put this boost on a player with shorter odds to hit a home run to add some value, or they can use this promotion on a longshot to get even better odds on a player to hit one over the fence.

Over the last three weeks, I am 4-5 in my home run picks on Dinger Tuesday, which includes two +840 winners, a +520 winner, and a +400 winner. See below for my three home run picks and predictions for June 17.

Dinger Tuesday Pick #1: Anthony Volpe (+810 at FanDuel with 50% Profit Boost)

Anthony Volpe might just have eight home runs on the season, but he has a great opportunity to hit another one tonight. The Yankees are at home facing Kyle Hendricks and the Angels tonight.

Hendricks has a 1.52 HR/9 this year and has allowed eight home runs in his last eight games. He has been much worse on the road, where he has a 6.37 ERA and has given up eight of his 12 home runs on the year. He now has to play at Yankee Stadium, where Volpe has thrived.

Seven of Volpe’s eight home runs have come at Yankee Stadium, and six of the eight have come off right-handed pitchers like Hendricks. Volpe has an exit velocity of 90.1 and a hard-hit rate of 44.1%, which are not bad.

Volpe has also already hit a home run off Hendricks in his career. In a limited sample size of three at-bats, Volpe is 1-3 with a home run.

Volpe is +540 to hit a home run at FanDuel, but with the 50% Dinger Tuesday profit boost, he moves to +810, which is great value in this matchup.

Dinger Tuesday Pick #2: Agustin Ramirez (+520 at FanDuel)

It feels weird predicting a Marlins player to hit a home run, but I like this matchup at home against Jesus Luzardo and the Phillies.

Agustin Ramirez has ten home runs in 2025, and loanDepot Park is sixth in ballpark factor over the last three years. Luzardo had a strong April where he sported a 1.44 ERA, but it has all been downhill from there. Luzardo had a 5.56 ERA in May and now has a 9.72 ERA in June. He has allowed four home runs in his last four starts.

All six of the home runs that Luzardo has allowed have come against right-handed batters. Ramirez has hit more home runs against right-handed pitchers, but he is slugging better against lefties, so this matchup does not deter me. He is slugging .488 against left-handed pitchers as opposed to .448 vs righties.

Ramirez has a 91.3 exit velocity and a hard-hit rate of 46.5%, both of which are great. I like Ramirez at +520 odds to hit a home run at home against the struggling Luzardo.

Dinger Tuesday Pick #3: Ryan O’Hearn (+450 at FanDuel)

I am predicting that Ryan O’Hearn hits a home run tonight. O’Hearn has had a good season, being tied for 13th in the league in batting average and hitting 10 home runs. But this is more about who O’Hearn is facing on the mound.

Zack Littell of the Rays has an abysmal 2.18 HR/9 in 2025 and has given up seven home runs in his last three starts. He has also allowed ten home runs to lefties, and he is pitching at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, which is great for left-handed batters.

All ten of O’Hearn’s home runs have come against right-handed pitchers, and O’Hearn has a better slugging percentage on the road.

He has an exit velocity of 90.9 and an excellent hard-hit rate of 49.7%. I love getting +450 odds on a hitter with those power metrics against a pitcher with a 2.18 HR/9. Bet on O’Hearn to go yard tonight.
