LA looks to get the brooms out against Milwaukee on Friday with Shohei Ohtani on the hill. SBR's Shane Jackson has his best player prop bets for Brewers vs Dodgers Game 4 ready to go:
Shohei Ohtani Over 15.5 pitching outs (-112 via BetRivers)
"After cashing the same prop on Tyler Glasnow in Game 3, I love this ticket even more with Ohtani on the mound. The talented two-player hasn’t pitched in nearly two weeks, with his last start coming in Game 1 of the NLDS.
Ohtani pitched six innings in that one, which is what I project for him on Friday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts doesn’t have faith in his bullpen, which is why he’s let his starter record 16 or more outs in eight of the nine games this postseason. The lone exception was a Los Angeles loss."
Shohei Ohtani Under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBI (+120 via BetMGM)
"The reason why Ohtani hasn’t pitched in nearly two weeks is that the Dodgers wanted to get his bat going this postseason. He loses some of his effectiveness at the plate when he’s also focused on pitching.
Ohtani went 0-for-4 in Game 1 of the NLDS. He’s since been in a little of a slump, recording three hits, two RBI, and one run over his last seven games. I like a plus-money Under to bet against his bat on a night where he’s also taking the mound."
Teoscar Hernandez to hit a home run (+470 via FanDuel)
"Teoscar Hernandez has been a reliable power threat for the Dodgers this postseason. He has four home runs in nine playoff games, including a solo shot in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Brewers.
With left-hander Jose Quintana on the bump for Milwaukee, I like Hernandez’s chances of going deep at Dodger Stadium. He’s slugging .467 against southpaws and .473 at home this season."
