Dodgers @ Diamondbacks: MLB Odds & Best Bets (9/1)

Let me just preface this whole piece by saying, it’s doubtful we see a repeat of the kind of magic we saw last night, at Chase Field. The amount of people that hit nukes was absurd, it’s not often lightning strikes twice, but dammit we’re here for magic and nothing less.. Dodgers and Diamondbacks, live from Arizona.

Happy Sunday, it’s the last Sunday of 2024 without NFL Football. It’s time to rejoice, and it’s time to build that bankroll for Thursday Night Football. So how are we gonna do it? We’re going to the Diamond.

Dodgers @ Diamondbacks Analysis & Breakdown

Brandon Pfaadt has a career 6.75 ERA against the Dodgers.

Yesterday’s game at Chase Field was a sports’ bettor’s dream. We saw 5 total home runs, 3 from the Dodgers and 2 from the DBacks. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman went back to back to back in the FIRST INNING. 

The Backs followed that up with a Corbin Carroll homer in the bottom of the 1st and a Lourdes Gurriel yak in the third inning. It was absolute fireworks from first pitch to the last, the Dodgers won 8-6, and have now secured the first two games in this 4-game series.

Los Angeles won Game 1 10-9, with another 5 home runs between both teams in this game. The trio of Freeman, Ohtani and Carroll have now homered in back to back games, and now get possibly the best pitching matchup they’ve had yet.

We get 2nd year pitcher Brandon Pfaadt, who’s got a 6.04 ERA this month, and rookie pitcher Justin Wrobleski for the Dodgers. Pfaadt’s given up 4 yaks in 5 starts this month, and Wrobleski’s given up 7 in just 5 starts this year.

Mookie Betts is the best name in sports.

We’re betting the entire 3-Headed Dragon today. This Dodgers lineup is stacked to the brim, and as we get closer to the post-season we’re seeing the big dogs get the job done. Mookie’s hitting 0.277 this month since returning from injury.

That batting average is up 63 points after the 0.208 he recorded in June before he was hurt. He played in 14 games that month, recorded a just 2 home runs and just 4 extra-base hits, period.

In 18 games this month, he’s got 8 extra-base hits, 4 of them are home runs and he’s been even better on the road. Since returning from injury, he’s batting 0.306 on the road, with 4 home runs and 6 RBI through just 9 games.

For the season, Betts is batting 0.324 on the road with a 0.486 SLG and 5 home runs, when on the road.

Freddie Freeman o1.5 Total Bases (-105) via BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS 

Freeman celebrates his 2nd home run in as many nights.

Why are you surprised, we’re betting the entire 3-Headed Monster, I said that already. Freeman’s homered in back to back games now, and he’s now got 4 home runs in 11 games against the Diamondbacks this year.

Freeman’s got 19 home runs all year, and 4 of them came against the DBacks. That means 21% of his homers this year have come against the Diamondbacks. Freddy’s hitting 0.373 vs the DBacks, when at Chase Field, and he’s got 14 home runs, 45 RBI and 51 runs in 53 career games, in AZ. 

He’s also hitting a career 0.364 against Pfaadt, with 2 doubles and 1 home run (0.818 SLG). Freeman’s been demolishing righties this year, recording a 0.311 batting average and 0.531 SLG. Compare this to the 0.237 and .397 SLG he recorded against lefties this season and you can see why he’s got 14 homers against righties.

Tonight het gets Pfaadt, he’s giving up over 1 home run per 9 innings over the last month. With the ball flying the way it is in this series, no reason Freddie can’t go for 3 in a row.

Shohei Ohtani Home Run (+265) via BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS 

THE ENTIRE 3-HEADED DEMON.

We’re skipping Ohtani’s bases prop, and we’re going straight to the home run prop. He’s now hit back to back yaks against the Diamondbacks, and he’s now got 3 in 10 games against Arizona this year.

Ohtani’s batting 0.317 against Airzona and he’s got 7 RBI and 10 runs scored. He’s been fantastic and that’s why we’re going right back.

No more, no less; give me an Ohtani Blast. PAUSE.
