Here are some of our favorite prop bets for Game 3 of the World Series.
View the best player prop bets for tonight’s slate with our MLB Prop Bet Cheat Sheet >>
Lance McCullers: o/u 15.5 Outs
Lance McCullers has been great for the Astros since his injury. In eight starts in 2022, he went 4-2 with a 2.27 ERA and 50 strikeouts.
In two starts in the postseason, he has yet to record a decision but has gone 11 innings with 13 K’s and a 2.45 ERA.
With last night’s rainout, the bullpens get much-needed rest and allow Dusty Baker to pull McCullers if needed. At 15.5 outs, I doubt McCullers comes back out for a 6th inning. We are hoping McCullers gets his five innings of work and then hands over the last three innings to the bullpen.
The Pick: Under 15.5 Outs (-140 DraftKings)
Lance McCullers: o/u 4.5 Strikeouts
McCullers K prop opened up at 5.5 last night before the game was postponed, and now it has moved down to 4.5, so we are losing a little value, but I still like the under 4.5 strikeouts with plus money.
As mentioned earlier, both bullpens had a chance to reset, so there is a chance we will see a shorter outing from McCullers. Projections have McCullers right at 4.5 strikeouts.
The Pick: Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+155 DraftKings)
Brandon Marsh: o/u .5 Hits
Brandon Marsh is familiar with McCullers due to his time with the Angels. In 9 at-bats, Marsh has three hits against McCullers.
The Phillies outfielder has been struggling this postseason, batting only .216. Throughout the 2022 season, Marsh has been a lot better at home. In games at Citizens Bank Park, he is hitting .262 (33 points higher than on the road), and eight of his 11 home runs have come in this park.
The Picks: Under 0.5 Hits (+105 DraftKings)
Kyle Tucker: o\u 0.5 RBI
Kyle Tucker has the advantage of hitting in the middle of the Astros lineup.
Tucker has already had success against Ranger Suarez this season. In three at-bats, Tucker has two hits, including a 3-run homerun.
Tucker led the team in RBI with 107 and was second in HRs with 30. With guys like Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman with a ton of playoff experience and success, hitting in front of him is extremely valuable.
The Pick: Over 0.5 RBI (+195 DraftKings)
