BREAK IT DOWN:

(Stats taken from DraftKings Sportsbook’s Stats Hub)

Ben Rice 1+ Home Run (+307)

Rice is one of the most popular bets as he and the Yankees visit Drew Rasmussen and the Rays in Tampa Bay. Rice hit a pair of homers in the Wild Card Series against the Red Sox after smashing 41 homers in the regular season. Of those 41 homers, 30 were against righties like Rasmussen. He is only 1-for-16 against Rasmussen, but that one hit was a home run. The public is overlooking that BVP and still backing Rice to go yard. Rice went 11-for-24 (.458) this season in his games at the Trop, with five homers and an astounding 1.685 OPS.

Shohei Ohtani 1+ Home Run (+300)

Ohtani hit 30 homers this season, and the public likes his chances to go yard in Game 1 of the Dodgers’ series against the Braves. The Braves are going with a bullpen game with lefty Brent Suter and righty JR Ritchie pitching some of the bulk innings. That should be a favorable matchup for Ohtani, but he has struggled at the plate while dealing with multiple injuries over the last few weeks. In his last 18 games dating back to mid-August, Ohtani is 11-for-70 (.157) with no homers. He does have a solid history in the postseason, with 11 homers in 33 postseason games, and the public is backing him to rise to the occasion in October once again.

Junior Caminero 1+ Home Run (+387)

The Rays are ready to host Ben Rice and the Yankees as they face Gerrit Cole. In their lineup, Caminero is a big-time power threat. After hitting 45 homers in 2025, he followed that up with 42 homers this year. Of those 42 homers, he hit 22 homers at home and 34 against righties. In his career, he is 0-for-7 against Cole, but he did hit a home run against the Yankees this season, going 10-for-49 (.204). Caminero can be a streaky home run hitter, and he hit five homers over his last 21 games, coming into the postseason with some positive momentum as he looks to help the Rays advance after earning the No. 1 seed with the best record in the American League.


3-Pick Same Game Parlay

Taking three of the most-bet player props individually is always an option, but why not roll them into a same-game parlay (SGP) and get in on all the action at once? It’s a fun way to tie everything together — feel free to tag along.

Ben Rice 1+ Home Run (+307)

Shohei Ohtani 1+ Home Run (+300)

Junior Caminero 1+ Home Run (+387)

Parlay Odds: +7159
