Best MLB Bets Today: Top Picks for May 24 Featuring Shohei Ohtani and Ketel Marte

Here are the best bets for MLB action of May 24.

Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani HR (+250)

Ohtani is finding his swing and has a nice matchup against Brandon Sproat, a righty for the Brewers with a 5.75 ERA and a penchant to giving up homers.

If you need evidence Ohtani is seeing the ball better as temperatures rise, he’s batting .467 over the past nine games, best in MLB.

Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels, Over 8 runs scored (-115, FanDuel)

We might not be talking about two of MLB’s best offenses on Sunday Night Baseball, but they won’t have to be elite boppers to put up runs.

The starting pitching matchup pits southpaws Reid Detmers (1-5, 5.07 ERA) of the Angels and MacKenzie Gore (3-4, 4.78).

Detmers is 3-3 with a 4.43 ERA in 16 career appearances (10 starts) against the Rangers, and Gore is 0-1 with a 2.35 ERA in two career starts against the Angels.

With Mike Trout rolling for the Angels, the home team is still capable of big innings. The Rangers didn’t hit with men on base on Saturday, but a shift after two hits in 11 at-bats with runners on base could bring a bigger offensive output on Sunday night.

Arizona Diamondbacks 2B Ketel Marte 2+ H-R-RBI vs Colorado Rockies, +120

Ketel Marte was 3-for-4 with a two-run homer to lead Arizona to a 5-4 victory over the Rockies on Saturday night. He has three homers, three doubles, nine RBIs and has scored nine times while lifting his batting average 49 points to a season-best .251 during a hot streak in which he has 14 hits in 28 at-bats.
