Over 11.5 runs (-165)<\/a>:<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to find value in a Coors Field game featuring the Dodgers. That\u2019s especially true in a pitching mismatch between Ohtani and Tanner Gordon (7.98 ERA). <\/p>\n\n\n\nNeed proof? Several players\u2019 total bases lines have been adjusted to 2.5, Dodgers -1.5 comes at a -220 price, and L.A.’s team total is 7.5.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite Coors, Ohtani has a great matchup. But getting him to punch out six, record four-plus bases and the Dodgers to win by two or more doesn\u2019t even return odds of +300. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That combo was my original thought, but it\u2019s not worth it, so I’ve turned my attention to offence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- The Dodgers scored double-digits in an 11-4 victory last night and are averaging an MLB-best 5.19 runs per game. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- There\u2019s little reason to think they won\u2019t destroy Gordon. The 27-year-old has allowed seven-plus runs in three of his last four starts. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- And while Ohtani and the Dodgers\u2019 staff get MLB\u2019s worst offence, Colorado benefits from its home park. The Rockies are third in average and eighth in slugging at home, so I\u2019m counting on them to contribute to this number as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
