Nothing like a Colorado Rockies matchup for a get-right. Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers certainly agree.
Los Angeles rolled to another win last night and is poised to sweep the series with a victory tonight. It comes as no surprise, as Colorado may be the worst team in baseball. Poor German Marquez, the longest-tenured Rockie, is set up for a rough night.
Will Shohei be able to take advantage? Or will we see a repeat of last night’s 0-for?
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Los Angeles is the home favorite at -310, and the run total is set at 8.5. Below, I’ve highlighted my favorite Ohtani prop bet for this contest.
Best Shohei Ohtani Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Under 0.5 Hits Recorded (+190)
Have I lost my mind? Betting on the best hitter in the world not to hit?
Here’s the thing: Ohtani has gone hitless in three of his last five contests, including last night’s tilt. He’s only 1-for-6 lifetime against Marquez with a couple of strikeouts. There’s reason to believe that despite everything about the Rockies, this may not be the matchup for him.
Maybe the three-time MVP proves me wrong here, but I’m willing to take the chance on an off night for Shohei.
