Texas’ Adolis García vaulted to the top of the odds board after his Game 1 heroics. García’s home run in the bottom of the 11th inning won the opener for the Rangers, and he’s now the +135 favorite to win MVP.
García was +550 prior to Game 1, second behind teammate Corey Seager. Seager is the second choice at +350 after being at +500 prior to the opener.
García’s walk-off homer was the 10th extra-inning game-ending HR in World Series history, and gave his 22 RBIs are a record for a single postseason.
García’s eight playoff home runs are tied for the second-most in one postseason.
“He’s on another planet,” Rangers third baseman Josh Jung told reporters. “Every time he steps into the box it’s like, grab your popcorn. … I have no words. It’s just like, wow.”
