World Series prop bets: Dodgers player props for Game 2
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 3:40 p.m. ET.
OF A.J. Pollock OVER 1.5 total bases (+140)
I love the payout for the Dodgers’ best hitter against lefties in 2020. Pollock led the Dodgers in batting average (.345), home runs (7) and RBIs (15) against left-handed pitchers in the regular season.
Pollock’s seven home runs against lefties are tied for the second-most in the majors. His ISO (.473) 241 points higher and his slugging percentage (.818) is 300-plus points higher than the next Dodgers player with a minimum of 50 plate appearances against lefties.
HIT A.J. POLLOCK’S OVER 1.5 TOTAL BASES (+140).

Rays LHP Blake Snell 3+ hits allowed, Dodgers OF Mookie Betts 2+ total bases (+150)
Betts is the only Dodgers player with more than one at-bat against Snell due to his time with the Boston Red Sox and, of course, his numbers are good. It’s Mookie Betts. He’s slashing .304/.370/.522 and has a homer in his 27 plate appearances against the 2018 AL Cy Young winner.
Snell is no chump and I think he’ll put together a quality start but that doesn’t mean the Dodgers aren’t going to put together good at-bats. He had a great start against the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL Wild Card Round, but he struggled against the New York Yankees in the ALDS. He also allowed two runs over four innings in his second of two starts against the Houston Astros in the ALCS.
The Dodgers have the best lineup in baseball and the gamble is worthy.
1B Max Muncy OVER 0.5 total bases (-129)
Muncy has been on fire lately, starting his World Series with a 2-hit effort in Game 1 to extend his hit streak to three straight games. He has a hit in seven of his 13 playoff games and is hitting well against lefties this postseason.
He’s slashing .318/.500/.591 in 22 at-bats versus left-handed pitching in the playoffs. Also, Muncy is the Dodgers’ clean-up hitter. Maybe that doesn’t mean as much as it did back in the day but listing a 0.5 total base prop for the cleanup hitter in MLB’s best lineup is disrespectful. TAKE MUNCY OVER 0.5 TOTAL BASES (-129).
