It's all come down to this. The 2024 World Series begins on Friday with the New York Yankees visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 1. First pitch is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET, with Yankees ace Gerrit Cole taking the ball opposite Jack Flaherty. The Dodgers are -129 money line favorites on the SportsLine consensus (view MLB lines here).

Before you make any 2024 MLB playoffs picks, you need to see who SportsLine MLB expert Angelo Magliocca is backing. Magliocca, also known as Amags, is a rising MLB capper who uses his deep knowledge of baseball to find value on player props, sides and totals. Over the 2022 and 2023 MLB seasons, Amags went 549-450 (plus 63.4 units) on straight plays and parlays while winning an additional 34.6 units on ladder plays. He produced those results, in part, by leveraging the strikeout prop market. Amags appears regularly on The Early Edge, SportsLine's popular daily betting show.

Magliocca has reviewed Friday's props market and has a number of best bets for Game 1, including a play on Yankees superstar Juan Soto.
