Shohei Ohtani did it all in his first season with the Dodgers. He won his third MVP, recorded the first 50/50 season in Major League history, and won a World Series for the first time. Now he’s back on the mound while continuing to tear things up at the plate. The 31-year-old slugger leads the National League in home runs, runs scored, OPS, OPS+, and total bases. It’s safe to say a fourth MVP is in the cards if he stays healthy down the stretch.
Now he gets to show off his stuff against his former team to rub salt in the wound. The Dodgers enter as -206 road favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook. The run total is set at 9.5. Let’s take a look at Ohtani’s best prop bets for tonight.

Same Game Parlay: 5+ Strikeouts Thrown and 1+ Home Runs (+202)
I call this one the Tungsten Arm O’Doyle parlay. Ohtani is finally ramping up on the mound, throwing four innings for the first time in his last trip to the mound on August 6th against the Cardinals. That came with eight punchouts. Over his last five starts, Ohtani has struck out at least one batter per inning, ringing up 22 batters in 15 innings. The expectation is that he can go at least four innings tonight, provided this Angels offense doesn’t do significant damage.
Guess what else he did on August 6th against St. Louis? Guess what he’s done for four straight games, including the last two against the Angels? The guy is a dinger factory. He’s the new-age Babe Ruth for a reason. Ohtani’s two-way talents will be on display this Wednesday night as the Dodgers look to end their losing streak. Who better to turn to than the MVP-to-be?
