- William Contreras Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
- Christian Yelich To Record an RBI
William Contreras (Brewers at Rays) Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
With no announced starter yet for Milwaukee and the Brewers coming into Game 4 with plenty of momentum, we’re not going to overthink things and will stick with two particularly surging Milwaukee bats. We’ll start with Contreras, who went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in Game 3 after already coming into the night with a .395 average and 1.135 OPS across 44 plate appearances this postseason.
Contreras will now take his hacks against Jax, who pitched to a 6.00 ERA in his first two postseason starts. Contreras was a rock-solid source of offense throughout the regular season and has taken matters up a notch in the postseason, averaging 2.9 hits + runs + RBI when factoring in his Game 3 production. He also posted respective .282 and .286 averages with men on base and men in scoring position during the regular season, adding further fuel to this prop.

Christian Yelich (Brewers at Rays) To Record an RBI
We’ll have a bit of fun with a prop that we haven’t usually rolled out in this RBI bet, backing a veteran hitter in Yelich who’s now driven in five runs this postseason after lacing a third-inning RBI single in Game 3. Yelich is now hitting .314 and has an .800 OPS this postseason as well, and he could be in position to stay hot in Game 4 considering his matchup against Jax. Yelich has mustered a .333 average against Jax in seven career plate appearances, a sample in which he has a pair of RBI.
Jax also gave up 16 runs (13 earned) to the left-handed hitters he faced at home during the regular season while allowing 11 extra-base hits (six doubles, five homers) in that sample. Then, Yelich has nine career postseason RBI, and the talented bats he typically has hitting ahead of him combined with his .295 average with men in scoring position during the regular season put this prop in play.
