Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:20 a.m. ET.
OF Randy Arozarena OVER 0.5 HRs (+360)
The breakout star of these playoffs hit 7 home runs in the past two series, ripping 3 vs. the New York Yankees in the ALDS and crushing 4 vs. the Houston Astros on his way to the ALCS MVP.
After the rookie went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Tuesday, the +360 price is a great value here as he’ll bounce back in Game 2.
OF Manuel Margot OVER 0.5 RBIs (+195)
Margot, who hit 3 homers and went 6-for-23 (.261) in the ALCS, was 1-for-4 in Game 1 against the Dodgers. He hit fifth in the Rays lineup Tuesday but could bat leadoff with Los Angeles starting RHP Tony Gonsolin in Game 2. No matter, he should get a chance or two to knock in some runs, especially if he remains in the middle of the lineup.

1B Ji-Man Choi OVER 0.5 RBIs (+155)
The left-handed slugger didn’t start Game 1. He was called off the bench to pinch-hit in the seventh inning but never had the chance to bat as the Dodgers countered by bringing in a lefty reliever. Rays manager Kevin Cash then called on the right-handed bat of Mike Brosseau, denying Choi the opportunity to become the first South Korean position player to make a World Series plate appearance.
Choi, who is hitting .290 (9-for-31) with 2 home runs this postseason, should get the start Wednesday with Gonsolin on the hill.
I’m going to DOUBLE DOWN on Choi and bet OVER 1.5 BASES (+135). He went 5-for-9 in the final four games of the ALCS with 2 multi-hit games and 1 homer. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Choi be the star Wednesday night.
SS Willy Adames UNDER 0.5 hits (+125)
Adames struggled in the ALCS, going 2-for-17 (.118). He struck out in both his at-bats Tuesday.
CF Kevin Kiermaier OVER 0.5 total runs (+145)
The longest-tenured Rays player – he’s been with Tampa Bay since his MLB debut in 2013 – went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in the World Series opener. He has scored 5 runs in 13 postseason games this fall. Bet on him to cross the plate in Game 2.
