Sun May 04 03:30:00 UTC 2025: **Dodgers’ Ohtani a Solid Bet Against Struggling Braves Pitcher, Says DraftKings Analyst**
Atlanta, GA – Bryan Armetta, a DraftKings promoter and analyst, is predicting a strong performance from Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani in Saturday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves. While the Dodgers are slight underdogs, Armetta highlights Ohtani’s consistent offensive prowess and the struggles of Braves pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach as key factors in his prediction.
Ohtani, a two-time AL MVP, boasts impressive 2024 season stats despite a slight dip from his record-breaking 50-home run, 50-steal year. Currently leading the MLB in runs scored with 32, Ohtani’s all-around offensive skills make him a dangerous hitter, according to Armetta.
Schwellenbach, however, has shown recent vulnerability, with a 5.60 ERA over his last 17.2 innings. This weakness, coupled with Ohtani’s strong recent performance against the Braves (nine runs scored in his last ten games against them), makes a positive outcome for Ohtani a likely bet, Armetta suggests.
Armetta’s analysis emphasizes Ohtani’s value as a player prop bet, although he cautions that his opinion does not represent the views of DraftKings and that individual betting decisions should be based on personal skill and judgment. He encourages responsible gambling and provides contact information for gambling help resources.
