Best bets for Friday, Oct. 17

The Dodgers are one win away from going back to the Fall Classic, and they'll send Shohei Ohtani (1-1, 2.87 ERA) to the mound in Game 4. Ohtani has struggled at the plate in this postseason but he could continue a string of strong starts for the Dodgers on Friday night. The Brewers have not been able to figure out this Los Angeles staff, managing just one run in each game so far. Milwaukee has yet to announce a starter for Friday's Game 4. The SportsLine Model sees the Brewers winning in 50% of simulations, giving them value as a +167 underdog.

Despite a 4-1 record with the lone loss coming in overtime against a ranked Virginia squad, Louisville is a +411 underdog (wager $100 to win $411) in Friday's game against No. 2 Miami. The Hurricanes have been awesome this season, knocking off Notre Dame in Week 1 and following that success up with wins over tough Florida, Florida State and South Florida squads. The SportsLine Projection Model believes chaos could be in store on Friday though, as Louisville covers the 13.5-point spread in 68% of simulations and wins in 43% to bring value at those odds. Jeff Brohm's team is 23-9 since he took took over and this is the type of game the Cardinals have typically been able to show up for. Sign up for BetMGM to bet on MLB and college football here:
