6 Los Angeles Dodgers player prop bet predictions for Game 4 of the World Series

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 2:21 p.m. ET.

C Will Smith OVER 0.5 home runs (+375) & OVER 0.5 doubles (+375)

Left-handed SP Ryan Yarbrough of the Rays throws his cutter more than any pitch in his arsenal. Smith has the third-highest marks in run value, batting average and wOBA of any Dodger against cutters. Smith should get some pitches to hit since he’s sandwiched between two lefties: Red-hot 1B Max Muncy and 2019 MVP OF Cody Bellinger.

I am using a buckshot approach at making money off of Smith in Game 4 so if he goes yard or hits a gap-shot we’ll profit.

SP Julio Urias UNDER 5.5 K’s (-150)

Urias’ Under 5.5 strikeouts (-150) is so expensive on this prop because the market knows that there’s a good chance Urias doesn’t go deep in Game 4.

Urias is used as a starter-reliever-opener hybrid and has only pitched 16 innings in four games this postseason. He’s struck out 16 hitters in those 16 innings and has only gone over 5.5 strikeouts in one of his appearances. I like how he matches up against the Rays lineup, but there are too many ways for an Under to cash and the market knows it.

OF/DH A.J. Pollock OVER 0.5 home runs (+450) & OVER 0.5 doubles (+425)

Pollock is second on the Dodgers vs. lefties in wOBA and wRC+, according to Fangraphs. He has the most home runs (7) of any Dodger and he’s tied with most doubles (5) against left-handed pitching. Pollock only has two at-bats in this World Series, but he is projected to be in the starting lineup specifically for the righty vs. lefty situation.

3B Justin Turner UNDER 0.5 singles (-139)

Turner is having an awesome World Series—slashing .308/.357/.769—but all four of his hits are extra-base knocks. Turner is ninth on the Dodgers in wRC+ and batting average vs. lefties. The Under on this prop cashes if Turner struggles in the box or if he continues is extra-base or nothing trend.

The 2020 World Series continues Friday night with an 8:08 p.m. ET first pitch in Game 3 at neutral-site Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers are the last two teams standing, and their Fall Classic tussle — tied at one game apiece — brings a solid slate of team and player prop bets.

Below, we give you five prop bet predictions to consider for the Dodgers for Game 3 of the 2020 World Series from the BetMGM game menu.

Los Angeles Dodgers player prop bets for Game 3 of the World Series

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:30 a.m. ET.

SS Corey Seager OVER 0.5 singles (-110) and OVER 0.5 home runs (+320)

Seager has five multi-hit games since Oct. 7 and has hit .349 with a 1.289 OPS over that stretch. The L.A. shortstop usually bats second in the lineup, so decent lineup turnover gets him five cracks. Seager has six homers over his last 31 plate appearances.

SP Walker Buehler UNDER 1.5 earned runs (+100)

In a trend that reaches back to October of 2018, Buehler has logged a silly-good 1.16 ERA over his last 38 2/3 postseason innings. So, playing out that trend at this double-your-money tag is nice enough. Add in the modern staff-management principles of relievers carrying roughly half the innings load in games and the fact Buehler has gone less than 6 frames in 7 of 8 regular-season starts and in three of his four postseason starts this fall, and the payout here makes this play worth a strong look.

OF Cody Bellinger OVER 0.5 home runs (+350)

Bellinger doesn’t have a great career mark in postseason play, but he has had a solid October so far this year with a .899 OPS and six extra-base hits. Bellinger hit two round-trippers at Globe Life Field in the NLCS and has four homers in 11 career games at the Texas Rangers’ new facility.

OF Mookie Betts UNDER 0.5 doubles (-400)

Betts has seen Morton more than any other L.A. batter, and he has logged a contact-heavy .799 OPS against the Tampa right-hander. His line of 7-for-23 includes two doubles, and that appears to be coloring this line too heavily. Morton does a good job in limiting hard contact. Betts is a decent play for the game overall, but the no-doubles price is a solid under-the-radar selection.

1B Max Muncy OVER 0.5 doubles (+550)

Muncy has never faced Morton, but the Rays righty yields a little more wiggle room for production when facing lefty bats. Muncy had only four doubles during the season, but he had 12 home runs and there is often some interchange between those two types of hits (Muncy had 22 doubles and 35 home runs in 2019). Globe Life Field is a home run-suppressant yard, and the price on this prop is reasonable.
