⚾ Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers) to hit a home run ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +240 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $24)

Ohtani has certainly bounced back from a cold spell earlier in June, as he's crushed six home runs in his last 46 at-bats.

Today, Ohtani will start the game as both a pitcher and hitter. Last time he did that against the Washington Nationals, he annihilated a homer in the eighth inning.

Let's bet on Ohtani to shine in double duty once again.
