San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prop Pick: Can Shohei Ohtani Show His Speed Against Giants?
The Los Angeles Dodgers take on the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday and I have found a longshot play in this game that I really like. Robbie Ray will make his first MLB start for the Giants since returning from his elbow injury and I think that really sets up nicely for this play. The play I am going to be targeting is a Shohei Ohtani baserunning prop for tonight.

San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prop Pick
Robbie Ray is making his first start in the MLB in over a year today, and I expect that it will be challenging for him, especially against this Dodgers lineup. In Ray's last two healthy seasons, he was one of the best stolen base targets in baseball. Over those two seasons, he allowed 24 stolen bases on 28 stolen base attempts, and ranked very poorly in most stolen base metrics as he was not great at holding runners on. He also has had some issues with walks over his career, which is something I also like to see when betting stolen bases.
This sets up well for Shohei Ohtani and other Dodgers' baserunners. Ohtani is one of the most walked batters, ranking in the 92nd percentile in walk rate. He has also stolen 24 bases on 28 stolen base attempts this season, so he's had a ton of success stealing bases. The San Francisco Giants have also allowed the most stolen bases of any MLB team this season. Ohtani is 1-for-2 on stolen base attempts already this series, and has been getting on base a ton. In games where Ohtani has a walk or a single, he has gone for at least one stolen base in 7 of his last 11 games. I expect the Dodgers to be aggressive on the bases tonight, and think Ohtani will get on base multiple times here. At the odds we are getting, this one is a no brainer for me.
