The MLB slate only has seven games. However, two of the seven games are in the afternoon. That ultimately leaves us with five games to look at for tonight’s MLB slate.
But after reviewing the other five games, I’ve found two that have some value. Here are two MLB same game parlays to consider for tonight’s MLB action.

Minnesota Twins @ Chicago White Sox MLB Same Game Parlay
- Leg 1: Chris Flexen Under 3.5 Ks (+106)
- Leg 2: Carlos Santana Over 1.5 Total Bases (+125)
- Leg 3: Brooks Lee Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135)
The White Sox will give the ball to Chris Flexen. He’s a right-handed pitcher who has struck out only 14.7% of batters over the last 30 days. That’s lower than his seasonal average of 17.2%.
Meanwhile, he’s facing a Twins projected lineup that has struck out only 14.3% of the time against righties over the last month. Not a single batter in the entire lineup has struck out more than 22% of the time against righties. Therefore, it’s unlikely Flexen will add at least four strikeouts tonight.
On the other hand, Flexen might also leave the game early. After all, he’s allowed a .370 ISO and wOBA of .468 to his last 60 lefties.
Carlos Santana has hit a .186 ISO and wOBA of .371 with 16.9% of strikeouts against righties. Brooks Lee, the Minnesota rookie, has also slugged a .333 ISO and wOBA of .553 with just 15.4% of strikeouts. Both of those hitters are switch-hitters but will bat from the left side against Flexen.

Texas Rangers @ Los Angeles Angels MLB Same Game Parlay
- Leg 1: Adolis Garcia Over 1.5 Total Bases (+105)
- Leg 2: Nolan Schanuel Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135)
- Leg 3: Davis Daniel Under 3.5 Ks (+132)
We’ll start with Nolan Schanuel. He’s a left-handed hitter who has smacked a .399 wOBA with only 13.6% of strikeouts against righties over the last 30 days. Schanuel will face Jon Gray of the Rangers, who has allowed a .320 ISO and wOBA of .519 to his previous 55 lefties. Lefties have struck out only 9.1% of the time against Gray in the last month and have hit more than 44% of fly balls with only 28.9% of ground balls against Gray.
Schanuel could find his way on base multiple times against Gray.
On the other hand, Davis Daniel will take the hill for the Angels. He’s a righty who has allowed a .269 ISO and wOBA of .360 to his first 27 batters this season.
That works out well for Adolis Garcia. Garcia has slugged a .175 ISO and wOBA of .310 against his last 70 righties. Also, in the Rangers lineup, Texas has struck out only 20.9% of the time. The lineup’s lefties have struck out just 18.6%, too. That’s ideal, knowing Daniel has added 25% of strikeouts against lefties but only 18.5% of strikeouts against righties.
There likely won’t be enough targets for Daniel to get to four strikeouts.
