The Los Angeles Dodgers play their second-last game of the regular season in what should be another bloodbath against the Colorado Rockies, and Shohei Ohtani will dominate in hopes of capturing the Triple Crown.
Our Dodgers vs. Rockies prediction will once again look to take advantage of Ohtani's greatness, and we aren't limiting it to one player prop on Saturday.
With the runaway MLB MVP odds favorite leading the charge, the Dodgers should win comfortably again after smashing the Rockies 11-4 on Friday.
Ohtani went 4-for-5 in that game, hitting a massive home run and stealing a base to move to 54 and 57 on the season, respectively.
Will the megastar add to those totals when first pitch is thrown from Coors Field at 8:10 p.m. ET?

Who will win Dodgers vs. Rockies?
First pitch: 8:10 p.m. ET, Coors Field
Best odds: -165 via Betway | Implied probability: 62.26%
The World Series odds favorites send offseason addition Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the mound on Saturday, and it will likely be nothing more than a tune-up game for the right-hander ahead of the playoffs.
Yamamoto has made three starts since returning from the injured list, and none have gone more than four innings. That could be for the best on Saturday, as Yamamoto was thrashed by the Rockies at home in his last outing, giving up four earned runs over just three frames.
The real reason I like the Dodgers to cover th is run line is because of the pitcher opposing Yamamoto. Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela is pretty terrible despite what his previous game against the Dodgers would suggest.
In that outing, Senzatela allowed only one earned run in five innings. While his 3.38 ERA in eight innings would suggest he's pitched well this season, his 7.92 xERA is far more representative of a pitcher who's walked as many batters as he's struck out.
Senzatela may not last long, either, but the Rockies' bullpen is the second-worst in baseball, while the Dodgers' is just outside the top 10.
This game should feature a ton of runs, and, similar to Friday, I like the Over 10.5 runs in this game at -120 via Betway.

Shohei Ohtani prop bet
Our NEW MLB player prop odds tool can help you find the best odds on any market across legal sportsbooks in your area!
Give me all the Ohtani Overs on Saturday.
I like this. I like him to hit a home run (+185). I like him to steal a base (+135). I like him to score Over 1.5 runs (+135) and drive one in (-125). He's going to do it all on Saturday after annihilating the Rockies on Friday.
Ohtani has already locked up the NL MVP Award thanks to his mind-boggling 50/50 campaign, and now he's hunting the ever-elusive Triple Crown.
Luis Arraez is slightly ahead of Ohtani in batting average (.314 to .309), but the latter has the advantage of playing at Coors for his final two contests.
As usual, the Rockies' ballpark is playing extremely hitter-friendly. It's providing a 2 5% boost to home run probability and 29% boost to doubles and triple vs. the league average, according to Ballpark Pal.
Ohtani gets a tasty pitching matchup in a hitter's haven. Smash the Overs.
Best odds: -120 via Betway | Implied probability: 54.55%
