ZT breaks down the top player props to consider for Game 3 of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The 2025 World Series got off to a great start with each team getting a win in Toronto. The pivotal Game 3 on Monday will feature Tyler Glasnow for the Dodgers going head-to-head with Max Scherzer of the Blue Jays. It should continue to be a great World Series stuffed with superstars, and of course, there are plenty of great player prop bets to play on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Both Glasnow and Scherzer are veterans with plenty of history to consider and both lineups are also well-stocked with lots of playoff-proven bats to consider for player props as well.
As always, DraftKings Sportsbook has all your betting needs covered for the World Series. There are hundreds of prop bets available, but let’s look at a few of my favorite options from Game 3.
Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Prop Bets for Game 3
The Dodgers’ lefties are great targets for player prop bets in general on Monday night. During the regular season, Scherzer let lefties hit .257 against him with 13 homers and a .360 wOBA. He specifically struggled against left-handed hitters on the road, where they posted a .380 wOBA against him.
Shohei Ohtani is 2-for-6 with a double against Scherzer in the past, and there are many ways to play Ohtani’s player props in Game 3. He is +151 to hit a home run and -123 to have 3+ HRR (hits, runs and RBIs). My favorite way to back Ohtani in this contest, though, is to take him to have multiple RBIs to get almost 3:1 odds, unlike many of his other numbers, whose odds have been bet down.
Even though he spent most of the year in the leadoff spot, Ohtani had 102 regular-season RBIs and has added 11 RBIs in his 12 postseason games. He had two RBIs in Game 1 on a two-run blast, and obviously had multiple RBIs in his two multi-homer games from earlier in this postseason run.
Ohtani will need some help from the bottom of the order to create RBI opportunities, but since I think the Dodgers will be able to get plenty of runs off Scherzer, I think Ohtani will have a good shot of delivering on this longer shot prop than even his home run props. There are many paths to victory for his prop, since he can get multiple RBIs all at once or stack them from different at-bats.
Tyler Glasnow to record a win (+166)
Glasnow is -162 to record over 15.5 outs, and since I think the Dodgers will be able to get to Scherzer, I like Glasnow’s chances to pick up the win in Game 3.
In his two playoff starts this year, Glasnow worked six scoreless innings against the Phillies and 5 ⅔ innings with just three hits and one run allowed against the Brewers. Despite those two strong starts, he doesn’t have a postseason win yet this year, although the Dodgers did win both those games in which he pitched.
If he has another strong showing on Monday, he seems due for enough run support against Scherzer that he should be able to get a victory. Scherzer gutted his way through an impressive outing against the Mariners, but I’m not sure he’ll be able to do the same thing against his former team in Los Angeles.
I expect the Dodgers to get some runs off him early and stake Glasnow to a lead that the bullpen can hopefully hold on to. With a well-rested bullpen after Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s complete game, Roki Sasaki and company should be fresh and ready to take the ball from Glasnow and get the Dodgers and their starting pitcher the Game 3 victory.
George Springer 3+ Hits + Runs + RBI (+177)
Sure, Springer at 2+ HRR is only -114 and a much safer play, but with each of these three player prop bets, I’m looking to swing for the fences and take on more risk to get better odds. Springer to get 3 HRR jumps all the way to +177, and the veteran playoff performer is a solid play at this number.
Springer has a very good history against Glasnow, going 6-for-13 (.462) with a home run in their past matchups.
During the regular season, he averaged 2.46 HRR per game during a resurgent season for the Blue Jays, and in the postseason, he has averaged 2.77 HRR in 13 games.
For his career in the playoffs, he has a .267 batting average, 23 homers and an .884 OPS. He has an average of 2.39 HRR in the playoffs throughout his career.
In this favorable spot against Glasnow, Springer should be able to slightly exceed those averages and deliver at least three HRR this Monday in Game 3. Like with the Ohtani RBI prop, Springer can do it all at once with a home run, or he can spread his production across multiple at-bats. Hitting out of the Jays’ leadoff spot will continue to give him as many at-bats as possible.
