Ohtani vs. Mets: Dodgers Favorite, Over/Under Bet!
16 Apr
Summary
- Shohei Ohtani will pitch for the Dodgers against the struggling Mets.
- The Dodgers have won the first two games of the series.
- SportsLine's model predicts over 7.5 total runs in the game.
Shohei Ohtani is set to start for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday against the New York Mets. The Mets have struggled recently, entering the game with a seven-game losing streak, while the Dodgers have been on a winning streak, having taken the first two games of the current series. This marks Ohtani's third start of the season, having previously allowed only one unearned run over six innings in his last appearance.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulated the game 10,000 times and suggests betting the over on 7.5 total runs. The model also indicates value on one side of the money line. Ohtani has a notable offensive history against the Mets, boasting a .294 batting average with five home runs and 13 RBIs in 18 career games, though he has not previously pitched against them.
Clay Holmes is scheduled to pitch for the Mets. He holds a 4.35 ERA with nine strikeouts in eight career regular-season games against the Dodgers, with a 1-1 record. Francisco Lindor is expected to be a key offensive player for the Mets. The model's simulations indicate that the combined runs scored will clear the total of 7.5 runs in 72% of scenarios.
