There was a brief swoon from Tatis earlier in June. It was a blip really, and his OPS dared to dip below .800, resting at .793 after play on June 8.
He's predictably made that a mere annoying pothole in his season, as Tatis has recorded a whopping 10 hits over his last five games, including a four-hit outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
However, he's lagging in the power department, as his last home run came back on May 27. But a megastar hitter who's making consistent quality contact won't stay down much longer in that regard. The underlying metrics still shine from Tatis, most notably an average exit velocity (93.8 mph) and hard-hit rate (52.1%) that both rest in the top 8% leaguewide.
And now he gets to face Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan, who's returning from a long absence at the big-league level following Tommy John surgery. And once he makes an inevitable quick exit due to a reduced workload, a Dodgers bullpen that's allowed the second-most home runs takes over.
However, Tatis isn't tied to the most-bet player props at BetMGM for tonight, as New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor leads that group.
