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.
