The Stank:
I’m doubling down on the Giants to surpass their first five team total prop, especially with Austin Gomber on the mound. Gomber has been serviceable this season with a 4.61 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP, but he’s allowed teams to exceed this mark in ten of his 18 starts. According to Batters-Box.com, Gomber ranks as the second-worst pitcher on today’s slate. He’s prone to giving up a significant amount of hard contact, which the Giants are well-positioned to exploit.
Theory is now 4-1 (+4.3u)

San Francisco comes into today with the second-highest average hitter matchup rating, featuring six elite hitters and only three batters striking out more than the league average.
Given the favorable conditions at Coors Field, I expect the Giants’ offense to thrive early, surpassing their usual scoring output and rebounding from yesterday’s performance.
It’s a promising setup for us to cash in today.
Total Bases: Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 (-120)

The Stank:
Let’s return to one of the game’s premier hitters, Mr. Shohei “Showtime” Ohtani, and bet on him to surpass his total base prop. According to Batters-box.com, Ohtani exceeds this prop 59.62% of the time when rated elite, based on a sample size of 104 ratings.
Over his last ten games, the dynamic slugger boasts a scorching .342 batting average and a stellar 1.141 OPS, tallying 13 hits with seven extra-base hits.
Today, Ohtani faces Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford, who boasts a solid 3.04 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP but tends to yield considerable hard contact—something Ohtani should capitalize on. Despite an 0-4 lifetime record against Crawford, today presents a fresh opportunity. Ohtani has consistently crushed pitches similar to Crawford’s offerings throughout the season.
I’m also keen on Ohtani hitting one out today at (+275). After the break, he’s poised for his first post-break home run.
In Ohtani we trust.
Sprinkle of the Day: Shohei Ohtani Home Run (+275)
- When elite this season he homers 25% of the time
- When elite over the last three seasons homers 31.37% of the time
- Going back for the third day in a row. I have to
