Check out the top player prop bet for Tyler Glasnow before Game 3 of the World Series between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays gets started on Monday.
It didn’t take long for the World Series to return to Dodger Stadium.
After a deflating Game 1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Dodgers answered with a commanding win to even up the Fall Classic at 1-1 as it shifts to Los Angeles.
Riding the momentum from Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s complete-game gem, the Dodgers are now just 81 outs away from capturing their second straight title. On Monday night, they’ll turn to dominant right-hander Tyler Glasnow (3.19 ERA, 90.1 IP) to continue the countdown.
First pitch is set for 8:00 p.m. ET. Los Angeles enters as a -207 favorite on the moneyline, while Toronto sits as a +167 underdog. The total is set at 8.5 runs.

Best Tyler Glasnow prop bet for World Series Game 3
Best Bet: Tyler Glasnow Over 16.5 Outs Recorded (-119)
Glasnow has had the difficult task of taking the mound after Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who, in Game 2, threw his second complete game of the postseason. It’s a near-impossible act to follow, yet Glasnow has risen to the challenge.
The 32-year-old right-hander, now in his second season with the Dodgers, has yielded just one earned run across 13.1 innings (0.68 ERA) this postseason, with a 1.13 WHIP and 18 strikeouts. He followed up Yamamoto’s first nine-inning gem by spinning 5.2 innings of one-run ball with eight strikeouts in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Glasnow has posted an impressive 12.15 strikeouts per nine innings this October, a testament to his strikeout artistry. An intimidating presence on the mound — standing 6-foot-8 with a 7.6-foot extension — Glasnow posted an excellent 29% strikeout rate during the regular season, ranking in the top 87th percentile league-wide.
However, while he’s continued to punch out batters with ease, Glasnow’s control issues have also persisted. He’s posted 5.40 walks per nine innings this postseason, issuing three free passes in each of his last two starts. But even with some of his success aided by luck stranding runners on the basepaths, his 2.62 xERA remains elite.
Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts has leaned on his starters to pitch as deep into games as possible, a strategy he’d be wise to stick with. The Dodgers’ rotation owns a 1.38 ERA across 78.1 October innings, the best of any team to advance beyond the Wild Card round. Their bullpen, however, is liable for a disastrous 6.16 ERA — the worst mark among that group.
Glasnow has shown he can handle the Toronto lineup, tossing 5.2 innings of two-run ball when he last faced them in August. He’s reached this distance in each of his two postseason starts.
With a treacherous bullpen waiting, expect Roberts to depend on Glasnow to rack up as many outs as possible. And with the Dodgers just 81 outs away from back-to-back titles, count on Glasnow to record at least 17.
