While both teams are relatively out of it, anytime the Yankees and Red Sox meet up its a fun one for the fans. We also have a few MLB series between playoff hopefuls beginning today, including the most interesting one to me, a matchup between the Mariners and Astros.
Let’s dive into the SGP market and find our favorite bets of the day.
Thursday's MLB Best Same Game Parlay Bets: Brewers vs. Rangers
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Milwaukee Brewers at Texas Rangers
- Leg 1: Rangers -1.5 Runs (+175)
- Leg 2: Over 4.5 Runs (+135)
- Leg 3: Nathaniel Lowe 2+ Total Bases (+145)
This is more of a bet on the Brewers’ struggles with lefties than anything else. Milwaukee has an 89 wRC+ versus Southpaws this season, which is bottom-five in the league. For all of his struggles, Andrew Heaney excels at generating swing and misses, which goes a long way against an offense like Milwaukee.
The Rangers’ offense has to take down Brandon Woodruff, which is becoming increasingly harder to do. Still, their offense is still one of the very best in the league. Woodruff’s underlying numbers look more like a three-ERA pitcher than a two-ERA pitcher, so maybe this is the day it catches up to him.
Nathaniel Lowe’s odds always surprise me, as he’s been a player who has dominated righties all season. He has a 141 wRC+ and hits at the middle of this order, giving him a number of chances to go for extra bases. I like him more than most other hitters in this lineup today.
Parlay Odds: +575
