Today’s Best MLB Home Run Prop Bets for Dodgers vs. Blue Jays World Series Game 1

#3. Max Muncy (+418)

Max Muncy is a postseason-proven middle-order banger who profiles perfectly for Dodger Stadium. In 2025, he produced solid slugging: .243 AVG, 19 HR, .846 OPS, and he’s historically hit well in October; his career postseason resume includes 15 playoff homers and a .829 OPS across multiple postseasons.

Muncy excels on elevated fastballs and mistakes elevated in the zone, and with Glasnow’s high-spin heater that sometimes sits up when he misses, Muncy has a clear pitch type to attack.

Dodger Stadium’s carry helps Muncy’s lefty pull power turn into actual seats; +418 is a mid-range payout for a veteran who’s already shown he can deliver in playoff moments.


#2. Shohei Ohtani (+151)

Shohei Ohtani isn’t just a hitter, he’s a single-swing event, the kind of bat that turns a tidy inning into instant chaos; at this price, you’re essentially buying the highest-probability moonshot on the board.

He combines galaxy-level exit velocities, an absurd barrel rate, and a launch-angle profile built for seats, and Dodger Stadium’s friendly night conditions only amplify that danger.

Ohtani sees plenty of pitches to drive, protected in a deep lineup, so even if the starter is sharp, the Dodgers’ plan and in-game reliever windows usually create at least one hittable moment he can exploit.

For bettors who prefer a play that’s more “likely” than “hopeful,” +151 on a bat this lethal is the most sensible way to chase October fireworks tonight.

#1. Addison Barger (+582)

Addison Barger is the World Series’ surprise spark so far. He ripped a pinch-hit grand slam in Game 1 and arrives with genuine momentum.

Barger hit 21 homers in the regular season and has shown a favorable power/spray profile that can punish mistakes, especially when he’s seeing the ball well.

At +582, you’re buying true upside: lower baseline HR probability than the veterans, but enormous payoff if his hot streak continues or he sees a mistake pitch from a tired reliever.

In a ballpark that rewards well-struck balls and in a series where managers will mix arms, a streaky slugger like Barger is the classic small-ticket dart.
