World Series Game 3 Betting Picks: Blue Jays vs. Dodgers Player Props & Totals

The World Series is knotted up as the series flips to Los Angeles.

The Toronto Blue Jays exploded for 11 runs during Game 1 before the Dodgers bounced back behind a dominant outing from Yoshinobu Yamomoto in Game 2.

Game 3 of the World Series will be played at Dodger Stadium. Veteran starting pitcher Max Scherzer will get the nod for Toronto while Los Angeles will start Tyler Glasnow.

Let’s take a look at a few hot bets ahead of Game 3 utilizing Deadspin Picks +, our new premium service that shares betting trends and shops lines for optimizing your bets.

Addison Barger OVER 0.5 Singles (+175 on FanDuel Sportsbook)

When you think about the engine that makes Toronto’s offense go, you are probably thinking about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or George Springer.

But in the World Series, it’s all about riding the hot hand. For the Blue Jays, that hot hand has been outfielder and third baseman Addison Barger.

Barger’s heroics were the story of Game 1. His pinch-hit grand slam was a memorable moment that baseball fans will take with them for years to come.

But he’s also on a four-game streak of hitting singles.

Toronto Blue Jays OVER 3.5 Team Total Runs (+106 on FanDuel Sportsbook)

Make no mistake, Tyler Glasnow is one of the best starting pitchers in baseball and one of the reasons why the Dodgers have such an expensive payroll.

But the Blue Jays are in a hitting groove. They’ve scored four runs or more in 65 percent of their last 20 games.

It’s going to be tremendously hard for Glasnow to follow Yamomoto’s Game 2 brilliance. While Los Angeles has a rested bullpen, look for Toronto’s offense to attempt a different approach after getting dominated on Saturday night.

Los Angeles Dodgers UNDER 5.5 Total Runs (-167 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Offensively, the Dodgers quietly find themselves in a rut. While their home crowd will get behind them in Game 3, Scherzer is battle-tested.

The last time that Los Angeles scored six runs was October 1st when they swept the Cincinnati Reds.

On the flip side, Toronto has allowed more than six runs several times during this postseason run. That might seem like bad news for this bet. However, none of the six-run performances have happened with Scherzer on the bump.

If the Blue Jays can continue to keep the meat of this Dodgers lineup at bay, Toronto will have a fighting chance to take down Goliath in this World Series.
