MLB Parlay Piece for August 9, 2023
- Los Angeles Angels -1.5
- Shohei Ohtani to Record a Hit
- Shohei Ohtani 10+ Strikeouts
Los Angeles Angels -1.5 (+150)
Before last night, the Los Angeles Angels had lost seven consecutive contests but were competitive in most of those defeats – losing twice by a single run and blowing a couple of 9th-inning leads. Yesterday, they got back on track with a 7-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Tonight, they hand the ball to their ace, Shohei Ohtani, looking to start a winning streak. The Angels have the better starting pitcher and the better offense in this matchup – trust them to get the job done here as they continue to push for a playoff berth.
Shohei Ohtani to Record a Hit (-195)
According to props.cash, Shohei Ohtani has recorded a hit in 82 of his 113 games played this season. He has been at his best against right-handed pitching, with a .328 batting average, 1.139 OPS, and a 200 wRC+. In the first inning tonight, he will face right-hander Ryan Walker, who is primarily used as a reliever. Expect to see Ohtani on base at some point this evening. This is good value to add a leg in today’s longshot parlay.
Shohei Ohtani 10+ Strikeouts (+340)
It’s not often that we can put together a same-game-parlay and have nearly every leg rest on the shoulders of one person. In tonight’s unique situation, Shohei Ohtani has the potential to single-handedly cash two legs of this parlay, and he will have a lot of influence over whether or not the Los Angeles Angels cover the run line as well. In 21 starts this year, Ohtani has amassed double-digit strikeouts six times, including four times in 12 outings at home. On Wednesday, he will face a San Francisco Giants lineup that ranks 21st in strikeout percentage against right-handed pitching since July 25th. Sit back and enjoy the Sho!
