As of this writing, Jacob Misiorowski faces an unknown Rays starter in Game 5 of the World Series, but my MLB World Series home run props back a Brewers slugger despite that unknown, given Misiorowski’s minuscule 0.72 HR/9 rate in the regular season (fourth-best among all qualified starters).
Milwaukee got home runs yesterday from two players who batted seventh or lower in the lineup (Cooper Pratt and David Hamilton), but I’m backing one of its most trusted sluggers at the top of the lineup to go deep today.

Jackson Chourio (+455)
It's hard to write a matchup-based narrative for this home run pick, as another "all hands on deck" approach from the Rays leaves it up to anyone's guess who Jackson Chourio will face in each at-bat. But he’s been hot at the plate regardless, and I'm banking on his approach, which has led to base hits and contact, to change slightly and send a ball out of the park tonight.
After the first two home games of this series, Chourio's 19 career playoff RBI were the most in MLB history by a player before turning 23. And his eight RBI entering the week were the third-most by a Brewer in a single postseason run.
Chourio has six postseason home runs, and he became the third National League hitter with at least six homers and 19 RBI in his first 20 playoff games. He also has a team-high 10 hits in this World Series and joined Babe Ruth (1928) as the most-hit hitter through the first four games of a single World Series. In the process, he also passed Charlie Moore (1982) for the third-most hits in a World Series in franchise history.
