MLB betting: World Series Game 4 best bets

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a chance to lock up a World Series title on Tuesday night. With a win against the New York Yankees in Game 4, the Dodgers will secure their eighth championship in franchise history. Let's check out our two best bets for a win-or-go-home Game 4. 

Luis Gil under 3.5 strikeouts (+120 DraftKings)

This price seems too high for how short Gil's leash will be in this game. Gil's outs recorded prop is set at just 11.5, so oddsmakers don't expect him to make it past the fourth inning on Tuesday night. Even if Gil pitches four full innings, 33.3 percent of his outs recorded need to be strikeouts for him to hit this over.

The Dodgers have struck out only 17 times through three World Series games. They've been one of the stingiest lineups against right-handed pitching all season, and they don't chase pitches out of the zone. That's going to be an issue for a rookie who struggles with his command.

Shohei Ohtani to hit a home run (+340 FanDuel)

This just feels fitting, doesn't it? Why wouldn't Ohtani cap off one of the greatest seasons in MLB history with a home run in Game 4 of the World Series to lead his team to a championship?

This price is so high because Ohtani is playing through a shoulder injury, but his swing looked fine in Game 3. Gil throws his 4-seam fastball nearly 50 percent of the time, while Ohtani has a .329 xBA, a .722 xSLG and a 65.9 percent hard-hit rate against 4-seamers this season. Go ahead, Luis. Throw Ohtani a heater and see what happens.
