Emperor’s World Series Game 1 Picks:
First off I’d like to say I will not be betting teams on this World Series Matchup because fuck both them. It’s always LGM. With that being said, Connor Beisbol is hot and will continue to be hot during these MLB Playoffs. Numerous Player Props tonight we got going so let’s get right into it.
•Max Muncy o0.5 Hits/Runs/RBIs (-190) 1u
Starting off with the first unit play of the night. This one is pretty simple. In Muncy’s last 6 games (all against my Mets), he hit this over 6/6 times. Max is also setting a record performance with being able to get on base in nearly every game in the playoffs. He has been able to get on base each game since Game 3 of the Divisional series vs the Padres.
It’s clear Muncy can get on base any at-bat and if he doesn’t end up with a hit, with how strong the Dodgers lineup is from 1-9, he can easily be driven in.
He’s also batting .333 in the playoffs so just one hit clears this over.
•Mookie Betts o1.5 Hits/Runs/RBIs (-130) 1u
I’ll be honest, this was the last pick I added to my card and in my opinion, the most risky unit play. In the playoffs, Mookie has been able to hit this over 6/11 games, however, I love the matchup stats he has against Cole.
In his career against Cole, Mookie is batting .429 in 14 at bats with 1 RBI. With the way Mookie has been swinging the bat his last 3 games, I am riding the hot bat.
•Kiké Hernandez o1.5 H/R/RBIs (+125) 1u
October Kike is just different. Having a really solid postseason so far and a favorable matchup against Cole who he has faced 25 times. In those 25 plate appearances, he’s had 8 Hits, 1 RBI, and has even been walked 4 times.
Kike has also hit this over in his last four games, so at plus money I have to take this.
•Anthony Rizzo o0.5 Hits (-145) 1u
With Soto and Stanton getting all the chatter (deservingly so), Rizzo deserves the hype too. Grinding at bats out with broken fingers yet having a red-hot bat in October is insane.
Rizzo’s career stats against Flaherty are fantastic and with the way he’s swinging the bat, of course I’m taking him for a hit. Was debating making this play a multiple unit play however, I’m a bitch about the broken fingers still. Very happy grabbing this play at -150 though.
•Kikè Hernandez o0.5 Hits (-150) 1u
Already on his over Hit/Runs/RBI’s. YUP
•Jazz Chisholm o0.5 Hits (-145) 1u
Jazz has raked in his career against the Dodgers batting .316. He’s had a slow start playing in pretty chilly weather this postseason. WELL THAT CHANGES TONIGHT. Jazz getting a hit and maybe even goes nuclear playing in some nice Cali weather. Thank you WFAN for giving me that idea.
•Gerrit Cole o4.5 Hits Allowed (-105) 1u
This is a complete shot in the dark but this Dodgers lineup is so damn good. Really think Cole can have a great game while giving up 5+ hits.
•Gerrit Cole o4.5 K’s (-135) 1u
Same as above. I mean Sean Manaea’s first game against the Dodgers he diced them up. Cole is one of the best arms in the game, the ace can get this over for sure within 4 innings. I still think he’s going to give up hits, but he’s faced numerous players on this Dodgers team before and has been able to produce K’s.
•Anthony Rizzo o1.5 Bases (+160) .66u

•Freddie Freeman o1.5 Bases (+160) .66u
Supposedly this man is 100% healthy. Great Lefty Bat matchup against Cole who’s he’s raked in the past. Coming off a brutal last game, and also having great career stats in the World Series, Big Players show up in Big Games.
•Kiké Hernandez o0.5 Walks (+320) .66u
+320 for a guy who’s walked 4 times while facing Cole 25 times. Yeah, I’ll definitely take a shot at this play.
This Dodgers team has been so patient at the plate lately, I expect them to continue this trend. Honestly tempted to make this a full unit play even though its +320. Those odds are crazy.
•Freddie Freeman HR (+500) .33u
Sprinkle. Needed to take a HR play and love this matchup for Freddie.
•Jazz Chisholm HR (+550) .33u
Jazz in warm weather. Yeah, I’m sprinkling. Thanks again WFAN.
•Anthony Rizzo HR (+800) 1u

The 2 Best Players in the game facing off and I don’t bet either of them? Imagine.
