Best MLB Championship Series Player Props

  • Yoshinobu Yamamoto Over 17.5 Outs Recorded 
  • Drew Rasmussen Under 7.5 Hits, Walks and ERs Allowed
  • Junior Caminero Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Dodgers at Brewers) Over 17.5 Outs Recorded

Yamamoto has followed up another impressive regular season with a dominant 2026 postseason debut. The right-hander dominated the Braves in Game 3 of the NLDS, recording 10 strikeouts and allowing just one earned run on four hits and a walk over seven innings. That stellar effort also came on the road, which tracks exactly with how Yamamoto performed outside Dodger Stadium during the regular campaign.

Yamamoto pitched to a 1.77 ERA, .082 WHIP, .171 BAA, .218 wOBA and 0.7 HR/9 across 81.1 road frames during the regular season. He also was excellent against the Brewers, allowing just two earned runs and recording a 12:3 K:BB over 13 innings across two starts, both in which he recorded victories. Yamamoto went six and seven innings in the pair of outings, two of the 25 starts (out of 28 total) in which he recorded at least 18 outs. 

The Brewers were excellent at home against right-handed pitching over the last month of the regular season, but Yamamoto has held current Milwaukee bats to a collective .211 average and .277 OBP across 82 career encounters and has a track record to suggest he could get to at least six frames.

Drew Rasmussen (Rays vs. Guardians) Under Hits, Walks and ERs Allowed

Rasmussen is unsurprisingly the Rays’ choice to kick off their quest for a World Series berth, and the veteran right-hander will come into Monday night with both an ample amount of rest and riding the momentum of a near-perfect 2026 postseason debut. Rasmussen thoroughly flummoxed the Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS, one-hitting the Bronx Bombers over eight innings while recording 10 strikeouts alongside two walks. 

That stellar start took place on Oct. 3, meaning Rasmussen’s arm should have some extra spring in its proverbial step Monday. The right-hander already has a very good track record against current Cleveland bats, whom he’s held to a collective .167 and an anemic .405 OPS across 76 career encounters. Then, Rasmussen held opponents to a .218 average and .258 wOBA across 84.2 innings at home this season, along with an 0.5 HR/9.

Rasmussen allowed exactly 7.5 hits + walks + earned runs during his 15 home starts this season, but given the rest advantage and history against the opposition, the Under is in play here.

Junior Caminero Over Hits + Runs + RBI (Rays vs. Guardians)

Caminero was one of the most prolific sluggers in either circuit during the regular season, and although he’s yet to go deep in the postseason, he hit .300 with a double, a pair of walks and two runs across 12 plate appearances during the ALDS against the Yankees. Caminero is now in a very good spot for a true breakout game Monday night, considering the starting pitching matchup and his own track record in the splits that apply.

The Guardians will trot out southpaw Foster Griffin, who allowed a .265 average and .321 wOBA to right-handed hitters this season, and he floundered badly after the All-Star break overall by pitching to a 5.05 ERA and surrendering a .311 average and .362 wOBA in that split. He now has a dangerous matchup in the form of Caminero, who mustered a .921 OPS and .393 wOBA against lefties at home during the regular season.

Caminero averaged 2.3 hits + runs + RBI per home game this season, a split where he laced 38 extra-base hits, including 22 homers. The 23-year-old slugger’s power and body of work at home fosters plenty of confidence in the Over.
