World Series Stat Leader Prop Bets to Make Before Game 3: Back Jack Flaherty to Maintain His Lead for Most Strikeouts

• Jack Flaherty leads all pitchers in the World Series for most Strikeouts with six total Strikeouts

• The New York Yankees' Contact Rate continues to decline

• Jazz Chisholm recorded three Stolen bases in the first two games of the World Series

Amidst all the chaos, plenty of statistical leader races have shaken out for multiple categories. One of them includes the race for the most total Strikeouts as Jack Flaherty edged out Gerrit Cole by two K’s in game one. Both pitchers are in the best position to receive another starting nod, giving them a higher chance of pulling away from the rest of the field. As for the most World Series Hits, Tommy Edman currently leads all batters with four total Hits while plenty of stars lurk right behind him at three apiece.

Jack Flaherty Strikeout Leader (-180) at Caesars Sportsbook 

When betting on the World Series Strikeout leader market, it’s vital to target the pitchers who may get the most exposure in the series. That instantly turns the spotlight towards Jack Flaherty and Gerrit Cole after both pitchers got the starting nods in game one, as well as Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Carlos Rodon who both took the mound in game two. 

Of those four pitchers, Jack Flaherty currently leads the pack with six total Strikeouts while Gerrit Cole and Yoshinobu Yamamoto have generated four. With exposure being the most key aspect to target in this market, Gerrit Cole and Jack Flaherty have a higher chance of making another appearance should the World Series get extended by another game or two.

Even at sizable odds to lead all pitchers in total Strikeouts, Flaherty is worth a wager to maintain his lead as he draws a more favorable matchup than Cole with the Yankees offense steadily regressing in Contact Rate. As the Yankees dip down the board in Team Total Hits, Flaherty has a higher chance at generating Whiffs.

Better yet for Flaherty’s longevity, the Dodgers pitcher has proven he is capable of keeping opposing runners off the bases and out of scoring position to keep his pitch count down as he possesses a WHIP of 1.068 and FIP of 3.48. Flaherty is also surrounded by one of the best coverage units in the league as the Dodgers defense ranks second overall in Defensive Efficiency.

Juan Soto Hits Leader (+360) at FanDuel Sportsbook 

While Tommy Edman may lead the field for most Hits with four total Hits, plenty of star-caliber players are hot on his tail with at least two more games needing to be played. One of those players include the Yankees Juan Soto who is currently in a four-way tie for second with three total Hits.

Like Jack Flaherty in the Strikeout market, targeting players who will get the most plate appearances is vital as it gives them an edge over the rest of the field with extra opportunities to generate a Hit. That instantly gives Soto an edge over Edman as the Yankees star contact hitter hits second in their order while Edman is projected to be in the middle of the pack.

Even though Edman leads Soto in Batting Average, SLG, and OPS since the start of the World Series, it’s worth noting Juan Soto comfortably led the Dodgers batter in a far larger sample size when factoring in their regular season performances. Back Soto at his current odds to leap over Edman for the most Hits in the World Series as he is the more consistent contact hitter while potentially receiving more opportunities to generate a Hit.

Jazz Chisholm to Record 4+ Stolen Bases (-174) at FanDuel Sportsbook 

While the Stolen Bases leader market is currently down across all sportsbooks, you can still target the category in a different way. At FanDuel sportsbook, you can bet on Jazz Chisholm to record 4+ Stolen Bases after he has already stolen three in the first two games. 

With the New York Yankees down 0-2, their offense needs to be more aggressive in their efforts of getting into scoring position to help match the Dodgers' scoring pace. Expect Chisholm to continue to make an attempt for second base, just needing one more Stolen Base to cash this.
