Shohei Ohtani (LAD) Over 2.5 Strikeouts (-2500)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Shohei Ohtani for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is a good choice based on his performance data. His L5 (last five games) overall and away SO (strikeout) average is 1.6, which is slightly below the line of 2.5. However, his current away hit streak stands at 13 games, demonstrating consistent performance on the road. This implies that Ohtani has a tendency to perform better in away games, which increases the chances of him achieving more than 2.5 strikeouts in the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Although his recent average against this particular opponent is lower, his consistent away performance suggests an ability to adapt and excel in different environments. This, coupled with his overall implied probability of 96.2%, indicates a high likelihood of Ohtani exceeding the 2.5 strikeouts in this game.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Betting on Cristopher Sanchez to achieve over 2.5 strikeouts is a solid choice based on his recent performance data. Over the last five games, Sanchez has averaged 6.6 strikeouts overall and 7.8 at home, which is well above the line of 2.5. Furthermore, his innings pitched (IP) average is also encouraging, with 5.1 IP overall and 5.7 IP at home, indicating he typically stays in the game long enough to achieve a high number of strikeouts. Even when facing the Dodgers, his strikeout average remains above the line at 5.3. Despite his current hit streak being zero, his consistent high averages in strikeouts, innings pitched, and outs make this bet a statistically sound choice.

Shohei Ohtani (LAD) Over 1.5 Hits Allowed (-2000)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Shohei Ohtani's recent performance data suggests taking the Over 1.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed market could be a solid bet. While Ohtani's overall and away averages for hits allowed are low, at 1 and 1.2 respectively, they are still higher than the line of 1.5. This indicates that in most games, he tends to allow more than 1.5 hits. Moreover, his current hit streaks, both overall and away, are at zero, suggesting a potential regression to the mean in the upcoming game. Furthermore, his recent performance against the Phillies is not as strong as his overall and away averages, with a hits allowed average of 0.2. This suggests that the Phillies may have a better read on Ohtani's pitching, increasing the likelihood of them getting more hits. Therefore, statistical trends point towards taking the Over 1.5 bet.
