Clayton Kershaw Over 4.5 Ks vs. Padres (-145, DraftKings)
Kershaw hit this over in six of his last seven starts of the regular season and I think he can do it again in the NLDS against the Padres. He had nine, seven, 10, five, eight and six strikeouts in those outings, so he's shown he can hit this over by a lot. Kershaw also hit this over against the Padres with eight strikeouts through seven innings when he faced them in July, so I think he can go over on this strikeout total here.

J.T. Realmuto To Hit A Home Run at Braves (+700, BetRivers)
Realmuto hit 22 home runs this year with one in his last three games of the regular season and I think he can carry some of that momentum into Game 2 of this NLDS. He also hit a home run in the Phillies' last series against the Braves. Plus, he already has two home runs in nine at-bats against Kyle Wright, who is starting for the Braves, so I love his chances to hit another one in this big spot.

Phillies-Braves Over 7.5 Runs (-120, BetMGM)
The Phillies and Braves just hit the over in Game 1 when they scored a combined 13 runs in the Phillies' 7-6 win and I think they can hit the over on the total again here. Philadelphia is averaging 4.6 runs per game and the Braves are averaging 4.9 runs, so between those two, this could be another high-scoring affair.
