SBR's Sean Tomlinson shares his World Series MVP prediction:

Mookie Betts (+1600)

"Like Springer, Mookie Betts has logged plenty of postseason experience over 385 plate appearances and 84 games. His .809 OPS this postseason is currently his second-best in the playoffs, and he can use his experience to tee off on a struggling Blue Jays bullpen that enters with a woeful 5.52 postseason ERA, which has ballooned mostly due to a playoff-worst 11 homers allowed.

We've seen lots of playoff surges from Betts before, including just last season when he posted a career-best .565 postseason slugging percentage. A similar uprising now could result in a $10 bet paying $160 through these +1600 odds from FanDuel, with an implied probability of 5.88%."
