Best Cardinals-Dodgers MLB Player Props: James Outman Stays Red-Hot
James Outman Prop: O/U 0.5 Bases
Dodgers rookie outfielder James Outman has bursted onto the scene for LA this season, already earning a spot in the team’s outfield rotation and making himself a favorite in the National League Rookie of the Year running. The 2018 seventh-round draft pick has been one of the most consistent performers in the Dodgers’ lineup in the early going, slashing .287/.367/.644 with seven home runs and 19 RBIs.
Outman failed to get a hit in the last two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but OddsShopper likes his chances to get back to form against Cardinals right-hander Jack Flaherty Friday night. Flaherty has been solid for the Red Birds so far this season, but his FIP of over 5.00 suggests he is going to struggle a bit going forward, and the Dodgers’ potent lineup could be just the group to break Flaherty’s string of good luck.
free seven-day trial to OddsShopper !
Unfortunately for Flaherty and the Cardinals, the matchup greatly favors the Dodgers Friday night. And James Outman has an especially good chance of putting some good swings together in the late-night tilt.
