Dodgers vs Blue Jays MLB World Series Game 4: Best Bets, Home Run Picks & Top Player Props
It feels like the game was just on a couple of hours ago after World Series Game 3 was played long into the night. Following 18 innings of phenomenal baseball action, the Dodgers finally walked it off with a Freddie Freeman home run to win 6-5. In doing so, the Dodgers took a vital 2-1 series lead.
While Freeman's walk-off home run sealed the game, there's no doubt that Shohei Ohtani, once again, stole the show, setting all sorts of MLB records in the process. Ohtani went 4-for-4 with two home runs, two doubles, and five walks (four intentional).
Shohei Ohtani Game 3 Records:
- First player to reach base nine times in a postseason game. The former postseason record was six.
- Tied the all-time record reaching base nine times, becoming the fourth player to do so and the first in 83 years.
- First player to record three multi-HR games in a single postseason.
- First player to record four extra-base hits in a postseason game since 1906.
- First player to record 12 total bases twice in a single postseason. Only Babe Ruth had ever pulled off the feat twice in a career.
- First player to be intentionally walked four times in a postseason game.
- First player to be intentionally walked with the bases empty multiple times in a postseason game
- Tied the Dodgers postseason record with his 8th home run.
Oh yeah, Ohtani needs to start Game 4 on the mound just 17 hours later. The Japanese superstar has a gaudy 2.25 ERA this postseason, having allowed just five hits through 12 innings of work. He'll have to go up against former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber tonight, who will do his best to keep the Dodgers in check.
"I want to go to sleep as soon as possible so I can get ready," Ohtani said through an interpreter after the game.
As we head into tonight's Game 4 in L.A., all the top betting apps will be behind the Dodgers as they come in as favorites to win and massive favorites to win the series. That leaves a lot of room for massive value opportunities, and we're here to give you the best chance to win tonight.

Momentum is a real thing in the MLB postseason, and Shohei Ohtani is the epitome of that. It seems that there's nothing that can stop him, and Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider tends to agree, which could end up spoiling your home run props.
When asked if Toronto plan to continue intentionally walking Ohtani, Schneider sounded defeated.
"Yeah. [Ohtani] had a great game, he's a great player, but I think after that, you just kind of take the bat out of his hands."
They'll have to rely on Shane Bieber to shut down the explosive Dodgers offense, and historical stats indicate that he's ready for a fight. In 60 career plate appearances against Bieber, Dodgers hitters have only managed 11 hits and two walks. That's a meager .190 batting average and a disheartening .579 OPS.
In fact, Blue Jays hitters have done much better historically facing Ohtani, batting .284 with an .820 OPS in 73 career plate appearances. This is the postseason, however, and Ohtani looks like he's in his absolute prime. We're not sure anything will get in his way.
We're leaning toward a low-scoring game tonight, and small ball may be required from both sides to get the win. Despite facing some of the best pitchers in baseball this postseason, Ernie Clement is riding a nine-game hitting streak, which could make for a great addition to your parlay picks. We're betting he continues to hit for average, though we like the Dodgers winning 4-2 tonight.
