The Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers continue their World Series showdown in Game 2 Wednesday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. First pitch is at 8:08 p.m. ET (on FOX). Below, we suggest five prop bets to consider from the BetMGM game menu.
Best-of-seven series: Dodgers lead 1-0. They took Tuesday’s opener 8-3.
World Series prop bets for Game 2
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 11 a.m. ET.
NO RUNS in 1st inning (-129)
Unless there’s a solo homer or one of the starting pitchers – Dodgers RHP Tony Gonsolin or Rays LHP Black Snell – walks the leadoff batter, I expect Game 2 to follow in Game 1’s footsteps where no runs were scored until the fourth inning.
Rays SP Blake Snell 4+ strikeouts, Dodgers SS Corey Seager to hit a home run (+425)
This is listed under the Parlay section of Player Props.
Snell struck out at least four batters in 10 of his 11 regular-season starts and fanned at least four batters in three of four 2020 postseason starts.
Seager hit five homers vs. the Atlanta Braves on his way to the NLCS MVP. He went 0-for-2 with 3 walks Tuesday in Game 1 against the Rays. There’s no doubt he’ll homer in this World Series. It’s just a matter of when.

Rays OVER 4.5 runs (+155)
Regarding this prop and the prop below, I’m counting on one of the two clubs to score at least five runs.
On paper, this is a long shot. The Rays have scored five or more runs just once in their last 10 games. This bet is saying they’re due.
Dodgers OVER 4.5 runs (+105)
As long as one of the two teams scores five runs, we come out ahead.
After no runs are scored in the opening inning – to win the first prop in this article – I predict Game 2 turns out to be a wild one. Lots of runs, tons of drama and an extra-inning finish.
YES: Will there be extra innings? (+775)
You just know one of these World Series games will go extra innings. Why not Wednesday night with a nice 7.75-to-1 payoff?
