MLB ALCS & NLCS Player Props: Mets pitch around Shohei Ohtani | Pickswise

Yankees vs Guardians Game 4 in the ALCS treated us to a masterclass with the Guardians winning in extras. Meanwhile, the Dodgers can end the Mets’ cinderella run at Citi Field tonight. You can also find out our experts’ MLB picks for today’s big matchups as well as every Game throughout the MLB postseason, but for now, let’s dive into my best MLB player prop bets for Yankees vs Guardians and Dodgers vs Mets.

Shohei Ohtani (LAD) over 0.5 walks (-125)

Odds available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing.

The Mets came in with a plan in Game 4 and that was to have everybody else beat them but Shohei Ohtani. Well, it didn’t exactly work. Ohtani took the second pitch of the Game off Jose Quintana 422 feet and gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead before Mets fans could seat themselves. Ohtani then proceeded to get pitched around 3 times and Mookie Betts made them pay for it. I still expect a similar approach in Game 5.

Juan Soto (NYY) over 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs (-115)

Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.

With all the attention on Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton after their Game 4 home runs, Juan Soto finally has a chance not to be pitched around. After being walked in all 3 games to start the series, I’m banking on Soto to find a way of cashing the over of 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs. Soto will be matched against RHP Gavin Williams and an elite Cleveland Guardians bullpen. He should benefit from facing off against a right-handed arm as he’s surrounded by right-handed hitters and a Guardians bullpen primarily full of righties.
