Ohtani's epic home run streak ended yesterday after five games, but would you really bet against him to just start a new one tonight?

The two-way megastar has popped 37 home runs on the season, and he's racked up 10 in the last 30 days (86 at-bats). I mentioned a few days ago that I noticed Ohtani has been a bit streakier this season than last year. I'm unsure whether that's due to fellow Dodgers stars Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman struggling or if it's just a coincidence, but as I noted then, you want to bet on him when he gets this hot.

The only thing I don't like about this bet is that Ohtani will have to square off against Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, but that's baked into this price. You almost never see odds this long for an Ohtani homer, especially when he's as hot as he's been.

All of the best sports betting sites are offering a price of +300 or better, so I'd be fine betting this anywhere really.
