MLB Player Prop Bets, Odds & Picks: Yankees vs. Dodgers (Saturday)
Game one of the World Series could not have produced much more drama or pressure-packed moments. Freddie Freeman conjured up his best Kirk Gibson impersonation and hit a walk-off home run in a similar spot when trailing in the opening game of the World Series, which was also the first walk-off grand slam in postseason history.

Saturday's Best MLB Player Prop Bets
(MLB player prop bet odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Mookie Betts Under 1.5 total bases (-165)
Mookie Betts was batting .342 in his last nine postseason games before last night's 0-for-3 performance. He started the postseason with consecutive hitless games, and there is great value on this play, as he is 1-for-19 with four strikeouts in his career against Rodon.
I would not put anyone off backing the Under on Betts’ total hits prop (+120 for him to go hitless), but he will likely get at most two at-bats against Rodon. Thus, I am not putting all my eggs in that basket with Rodon’s career dominance over the righty.
Betts had five extra-base hits in the three games prior to last night, but I am still expecting the Yankees pitching staff to keep him in check tonight.
Aaron Judge Under 0.5 walks (+120)
Aaron Judge has drawn seven walks this postseason, including one in six out of 10 games. However, he has just one walk in his last five, and the fact that the Dodgers intentionally walked Juan Soto to get to Judge in a key spot last night suggests they do not fear the Yankees slugger.
Judge has a 62.26% implied probability to draw a walk based on DraftKings' -165 odds, but it is unplayable at that price given Judge's recent ways.
