The options are endless, but I've highlighted three of our Best MLB SGPs for Friday, May 23rd. Take a look at our best MLB picks and predictions below.
Friday’s Best MLB Same Game Parlay Picks
(Odds Courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook unless otherwise noted)
Seattle Mariners vs. Houston Astros
- Leg 1: Under 8.5 Runs (-105)
- Leg 2: Jake Meyers 1+ Hit (-190)
Ryan Gusto is likely just an opener, and the Astros’ bullpen has the second-best ERA in baseball (2.78). Emerson Hancock's ERA is high at 6.21, but if you take away the disastrous outing versus Detroit on March 31st, where he gave up seven hits and six runs in two-thirds of an inning, he's pitched well overall. I don't expect a high-scoring game today.
Jake Meyers has hit safely in Houston's last seven games. On the season, he is hitting .308 against right-handed pitchers and .292 in night games. If anyone is going to get a hit off Hancock today, it's Meyers.
A $100 wager will result in a $304 payday - your stake plus $204 in winnings.
Parlay Odds: +204
New York Yankees vs. Colorado Rockies
- Leg 1: Aaron Judge to Hit a Home Run (+150)
- Leg 2: Cody Bellinger to Hit a Home Run (+340)
In 25 games at Coors Field, there have been 58 home runs. The Yankees lead the league in home runs with 84 - 34 of which have come on the road. Sixty of their homers have come against right-handed pitchers, and 46 in night games. Cody Bellinger has hit three in the last week; Aaron Judge just one. Tanner Gordon did not give up a home run in his only other start this season, but he gave up 10 across eight starts last year.
Gordon had a 1.72 WHIP and teams hit .356 against him. Anytime the Yankees face a hittable pitcher like Gordon, I'll bet on them to hit a few home runs.
A $100 wager will result in a $902 payday - your stake plus $802 in winnings.
Parlay Odds: +802
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Athletics
- Leg 1: Phillies -1.5 (-110)
- Leg 2: Bryce Harper 1+ Hit (-310)
The Phillies are hitting .294 over the last week and averaging almost six runs a game. But the A's are hitting .214 and just two runs a game in the same time frame. Jeffrey Springs (5-3 with a 3.91 ERA and 1.25 WHIP) might be able to slow down the Philly offense. But Zack Wheeler (5-1, 2.67 ERA and .89 WHIP) might shut the A's out.
Bryce Harper is hitting .458 over the last week (11-for-24 over six games), giving him a good shot to get at least one hit.
A $100 wager will result in a $214 payday - your stake plus $114 in winnings.
Parlay Odds: +114
