The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays will take the field at the Rogers Centre for the highly anticipated Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, October 24.
My top home run MLB picks for the series opener are headlined by two former World Series MVPs.
Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Freddie Freeman hit 16 of his 24 regular-season homers with a .201 ISO against right-handed pitchers, and the All-Star first baseman boasts eight career homers against active Toronto arms.
He’s also the reigning World Series MVP, with 15 career postseason homers on his resume.
Toronto Blue Jays hero George Springer hit more home runs off left-handed pitchers than any other Blue Jay during the regular season, and he’s also faced Los Angeles Dodgers starter Blake Snell more than any of his teammates.
Of course, Springer is also a World Series MVP and has 23 career postseason home runs, and he posted a rock-solid .221 ISO against lefties during the regular season.
