Game 4 of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers will get underway at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday night from Dodger Stadium, after the Dodgers claimed a thrilling 6-5 victory in 18 innings in Game 3 on Monday to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Our best Blue Jays vs. Dodgers player prop bet for Game 4 of the World Series is Shohei Ohtani under 18.5 outs recorded.

Shohei Ohtani under 18.5 outs recorded
How much gas can the great Ohtani realistically have left in the tank after setting the MLB postseason record by reaching base an incredible nine times in Game 3 on Monday night? Well, we’re about to find out, as he now has to pitch—and hit—in Game 4 after playing in an 18-inning marathon the previous night.
Toronto is the best team in baseball in racking up pitch counts with its collective patient approach at the plate, and you can bet the Blue Jays will do everything they can to extend at-bats and take as many pitches as possible against Ohtani on Tuesday, especially given the heavy workload sustained by both bullpens in Monday’s 18-inning fiasco. L.A. used nine relievers in that contest, with four of them throwing an inning or more.
Ohtani has not recorded more than 18 outs (six innings) in any of his 16 appearances this season, averaging 11.1 outs per appearance. In fact, he hasn’t surpassed that number since July 27, 2023, when he threw a complete-game shutout against the Detroit Tigers.
Pay the extra juice at -175 and back the historical data suggesting Ohtani won’t last on the mound past the sixth inning in Game 4 of the World Series.
