Home Run Derby: Which Player is the Best Bet to Go Deep in Game 3?

The World Series is back for Game 3 in what has been an entertaining series so far. In each game, both the Braves and Astros have been able to put up big run totals, Atlanta scored 6 in Game 1 while the Astros plated 6 in Game 2.

The BetSided team took a look at the odds at each player to hit a home run, available at WynnBET Sportsbook, and weighed in with their best bets for who will go deep. Everyone is on a Houston player in Game 3, with two on the same player.

Carlos Correa (+420)

Correa has yet to record a hit in this series, but I’m still picking him to hit one out of the park tonight. Correa averages three home runs a postseason and has three of his 18 postseason home runs in the World Series. I’m not saying Correa is going to go on an insane hitting streak, but the power we saw in Game 1 against the Red Sox is still out there.

At +420, I’ll take the chances on Correa pointing to his wrist tonight. -- Donnavan Smoot

Kyle Tucker (+405)

With Yordan Alvarez's odds feeling a bit inflated at just over +300 at WynnBET to leave the yard, I'll take my chances with Tucker against right-hander Ian Anderson.

According to MLB Statcast data, Tucker's expected xwOBA, or expected weighted on-base average as well as his xSLG actually leads all Astros hitters.

Tucker also has had better overall numbers against right-handed pitching this season too, and while Anderson has been sharp during the playoffs, he's only gone four innings on average per start. -- Ben Heisler

Tucker has incredible power in the heart of the Astros lineup and it feels that he is due for a big blast.

He is 3-for-7 with two runs scored in the series and has 30 homers to his name this season. Tucker is slugging .557 this season and Anderson could find himself in trouble against the top half of the Astros batting order. -- Reed Wallach
