Best bets for Tuesday, March 31
The first week of the MLB season means starting pitchers take the mound for the first time in the regular season. On Tuesday, one of those pitchers is four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Japanese superstar faces Cleveland’s Tanner Bibee, who was 12-11 with a 4.54 ERA last season. Ohtani is off to a slow start at the plate with two hits (one home run) in 12 at-bats, but the Dodgers are 3-1. He was 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA and 167 strikeouts on the mound in 2025. Los Angeles is a -258 home favorite on the money line Tuesday but the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, sees value on the Guardians to win. Cleveland is winning in 37% of its simulations, good for a “B” grade with the Guardians priced as +211 underdogs on the money line.
