Game 3 of the World Series goes Monday back in Los Angeles with the series tied 1-1. SBR's Mike Spector has his best Blue Jays vs Dodgers Game 3 player prop bets ready to go:
Tyler Glasnow Under 16.5 outs (-107 via DraftKings)
"Dodgers starting pitchers entered the World Series after throwing at least six innings while recording eight-plus strikeouts and two or fewer earned runs allowed in seven of the team's first 10 postseason games. But the pesky Blue Jays made Blake Snell labor, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto needed to retire 20 consecutive batters in Game 2 to get back on pace to cash his Over for outs recorded.
Toronto’s .534 team slugging percentage this postseason entering Game 2 was the highest for any team since 1969 (minimum seven games). The Blue Jays were also batting .305 as a team while the other 11 playoff clubs combined for a .217 average."
Ernie Clement Under 0.5 strikeouts (-125 via bet365)
"Clement ranked eighth in strikeout percentage, 22nd in first-pitch swing percentage, 15th in whiff percentage, fifth in in-zone whiff percentage, and 24th in swing rate during the regular season (minimum 400 player appearances, meaning 215 players qualified).
The infielder has produced a 57.1% first-pitch swing percentage and 65.1% overall swing percentage during the postseason entering Game 2, which were both on pace for the sixth-highest in a single postseason since 2008."
Mookie Betts to hit a home run (+470 via FanDuel)
"It's wise to focus my best home run prediction on a Dodgers slugger since Max Scherzer is toeing the rubber for the Blue Jays in Game 3.
Scherzer is coming off his first regular season in which he posted a 2.0 HR/9 rate, and his 37.1% fly-ball rate was well above the future hall of famer's previous career-high of 33.6% in 2013.
The veteran's HR/9 rate ballooned to 2.9 over Scherzer's last six starts entering the postseason, and he's allowed four long balls in his last three outings. Meanwhile, Mookie Betts is slashing .300/.417/.700 in 10 career at-bats against the Blue Jays righty, with one of the two extra-base hits clearing the fence."
