For my World Series Game 5 top player prop picks, I'll be looking into Trey Yesavage and Enrique Hernandez.
Let's dive into my MLB player prop picks for World Series Game 5 on Wednesday, October 29.
MLB Top Player Props for Dodgers vs Blue Jays World Series Game 5
- Trey Yesavage Over 3.5 Hits Allowed (-117, Bet365)
- Enrique Hernandez Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + Runs Batted In (+160, Bet365)
Blue Jays vs. Dodgers World Series Game 5 Player Prop No. 1
Rarely will you see pitchers have a meteoric rise as quickly as Trey Yesavage. This year, the 22-year-old has gone from Single-A to being the Blue Jays' Game 1 starter in the World Series. He also dominated the Yankees along the way, with 5 1/3 hitless innings with 11 strikeouts.
However, since then, Yesavage has allowed at least four hits in each of his last three playoff starts. He has allowed at least three hits in six of his seven MLB starts this season, with four or more in five of them. Tonight, the Dodgers will get their second look at Yesavage in the series, which should favor their hitters.
Additionally, the Dodgers only put up two runs last night, and they don't want to go back to Toronto in a 3-2 hole. I expect them to come out swinging tonight.
Blue Jays vs Dodgers World Series Game 5 Prop Pick No. 2
Throughout his career, Hernandez has been a utility player and he has only hit 20 home runs twice, with a .236/.305/.403 slash line. However, if you told him every regular season was a playoff game, he might just be an All-Star. Last night, he played his 100th career playoff game, and he now has 15 home runs, 41 RBIs, 45 runs scored and a .277/.346/.489 slash line.
This year, he's hitting .269 in the playoffs and has a hit in two of the first four games in the World Series. That includes Game 1, when he went 1-for-2 with an RBI single off Yesavage to give the Dodgers an early 1-0 lead. Now, he's gotten even more looks at Yesavage and Toronto's bullpen.
In his postseason career, Hernandez is averaging 1.64 hits + runs + runs batted in per game. He's cleared this line in nine of 14 playoff games. At plus money, I'll be backing him again tonight.
