Well, Game 1 of the 2023 World Series certainly lived up to the billing, but Game 2 has all the makings of another exciting matchup. We can make tonight's game even more profitable by cashing in on some player props. I've found two hot bats you should be backing, so let's dive in and see why.
Diamondbacks vs Rangers Game 2 Player Props
Corbin Carroll over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-110 via DraftKings)
Many players are becoming overpriced in this market, but the one they have yet to price correctly is your NL Rookie of the Year, Corbin Carroll. Carroll has caught fire over the last four games of the postseason, as he's recorded a hit in each of them.
With Carroll getting hot at the plate, he's been a strong play in this market, as his spot at the top of the order and his speed on the basepaths have almost guaranteed he scores a run whenever he's on. Carroll has exceeded this total in three straight games and 58% of games this season.
That hit rate gives us implied odds of -138, which is a solid line value in a spot where he's not projected to struggle. Carroll hit a respectable .283 against left-handed pitching, and if he can get on, many of the Diamondbacks righties have seen Montgomery well, so they will drive him in.
Corey Seager over 0.5 RBIs (+140 via bet365)
Corey Seager made his presence felt with a dramatic game-tying home run last night in Game 1, and he is likely to get his team on the board again tonight. Seager has been right in the middle of the Rangers' run production this postseason.
Overall, he's hitting .327 with four homers and eight RBI this October. He's also drawn 14 walks as many teams have been avoiding him, but they won't be able to with men on base.
Seager has driven in a run in 46% of games this season, and last night's homer extended his RBI streak to three games. His hit rate gives us implied odds of +117, which makes him the right guy to take a shot on in this lineup.
On top of that, Seager crushed right-handed pitching and is due for some success against Merrill Kelly, as he's scolded the ball in the handful of times they have matched up.
