Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers get set for the first of a three-game series against the Diamondbacks on Monday night.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Dodgers are slight -148 favorites on the moneyline while the run total is set at 10.
Best Shohei Ohtani Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Shohei Ohtani Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-115)
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Ohtani’s prop lines at 1.5 Hits, 1.5 total bases, 0.5 runs and 0.5 RBIs. He is +165 to hit a home run and his O/U Hits + Runs + RBIs is 2.5.
Ohtani has a very limited history against Brandon Pfaadt with only nine career at-bats against him. It’s a small sample size, but Ohtani has struggled against him with a .222 batting average, two hits and one RBI. However, Ohtani is too good to let that continue. There is a reason he leads the MLB in runs and home runs, and is a +110 favorite to win National League MVP this season on DraftKings Sportsbook.
He has gone over this hits + runs + RBIs total in four of his last five outings and is coming off a game with three hits, one run and one RBI on Sunday against the Angels.
Another thing Ohtani has on his side in this matchup is Pfaadt’s struggles away from Arizona. His ERA is 3.73 on the season, but it skyrockets to 6.64 on the road. In four games against Arizona so far this season, Ohtani has four runs, seven hits and six RBIs in only 19 at-bats. He has performed well against this ball club, and expect him to do the same on Monday night against a pitcher who struggles on the road.
