3 MLB Best-of-the-Board Props to Back for World Series Game 2 on October 24

One game. One lineup card. One very large audience. World Series Game 2 is the only thing on the baseball board tonight, with the Brewers carrying a 1-0 series lead into American Family Field for an 8:00 PM ET first pitch against the Rays. That means no slate-hopping and no scrolling through fifteen games hunting for an edge. Just a single, glorious, pressure-cooker matchup and a handful of player props worth your attention.

We went through the board and picked the three bets that make the most sense to us: two Brewers bats who keep finding ways to matter, and one Rays slugger who is always one swing from ruining the home crowd’s night. Let’s get into it.

Christian Yelich 1+ RBI (+285 at DraftKings)

Milwaukee’s captain hit third in Game 1 and made it count right away, ripping an RBI triple off Nick Martinez in the first inning on his way to a 1-for-4 night in the 3-2 win. He has driven in a run in three of his last four games, and the Brewers are expected to run the same top of the order again, with Chourio and Bauers setting the table ahead of him and Contreras hitting right behind him.

Drew Rasmussen is a bat-misser (16-5, 2.67 ERA, 174 strikeouts in 172 innings), but he is pitching in a park where Yelich just did damage, and the price is what sells us. Yelich’s RBI line has closed around +225 to +230 in recent playoff games, so +285 at DraftKings is a bigger number than the market usually gives him. At that price you only need this to land about one time in four to break even, and that is a fair ask from a middle-of-the-order bat at home.

Brice Turang Over 0.5 Hits (-168 at DraftKings)

The juice is heavy, but so is the case. Turang is the kind of contact-first hitter who gives you a real shot at a hit every time he steps in. He homered in the NLCS opener against the Dodgers and went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Game 2 of that series, and he has averaged just over a hit per game this season. He is projected to bat fifth in tonight’s Brewers lineup, right behind Contreras, which keeps him in plenty of run-producing spots.

He went hitless in Game 1, which is exactly why we like the bounce-back spot. Books have posted this line anywhere from about -150 to -186 this week, while projection models land well north of 0.5 hits. Rasmussen has been excellent, no argument there, but one bloop, one grounder through the hole, or one well-placed bunt cashes this ticket. Shop around before you pull the trigger, because the price moves from book to book.

Junior Caminero to Hit a Home Run (check your book, roughly +400 to +500)

Every great October needs a little lottery ticket, and Caminero is ours. The Rays third baseman hit 42 home runs this season, slugged .524, and has joined Eddie Mathews as the only players in history with two 40-homer seasons through their age-22 campaigns. He went deep in Game 6 of the ALCS against Cleveland, a two-run shot, and he is slated to bat cleanup tonight.

ESPN lists his home run price at +405, and other books have ranged from +425 to +500 in recent games. That is a big number for a hitter with this kind of raw power, and it is the kind of price you take a swing at with a small stake. A good player prop search can save you a few ticks of juice before you lock it in.
