Shohei Ohtani is on the longest consecutive-games homer tear of his career, and now he has Fenway Park’s Green Monster to help the cause. Ohtani will attempt to homer in his sixth straight contest as the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the Boston Red Sox in the opener of a three-game series. If he goes deep Friday night, it would be a new Dodgers franchise record. The Atlanta Braves are in desperation mode as they visit the Texas Rangers. The San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals clash as two teams jockeying for wild-card position. LOS ANGELES DODGERS AT BOSTON RED SOX Ohtani is the seventh Dodger to homer in five consecutive games. His streak began with blasts in back-to-back games against the Milwaukee Brewers and continued with a homer in each contest of a three-game sweep over the Minnesota Twins. Ohtani leads the National League with 37 home runs and has gone deep eight times in July, despite batting just .206 for the month. He’s three games behind the all-time MLB record of homers in eight straight games, shared by Dale Long (1956), Don Mattingly (1987) and Ken Griffey Jr. (1993). Ohtani is 4-for-8 with a double in his career against Boston starter Brayan Bello (6-4, 3.23 ERA). Bello has allowed 11 homers in 17 appearances (16 starts) this season, surrendering at least one long ball in nine outings. Best Bet: Shohei Ohtani to homer, +230 (DraftKings)
