    Monday’s Best MLB Same Game Parlays

    (Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

    Chicago Cubs vs. Miami Marlins

    The Miami Marlins will roll with Edward Cabrera for tonight’s matchup against the Cubs. Cabrera has struggled against his first 131 batters, allowing a .190 ISO and wOBA of .358. That said, he’s been way worse against righties, earning just 15.6% of strikeouts against righties. He’s also given up a .211 ISO and wOBA of .373 to his first 64 righties, while allowing nearly 32% of line drives.

    Over the last 30 days, Pete Crow-Armstrong has socked a .366 ISO and wOBA of .433 against righties. The Chicago lead-off hitter has also struck out only 18.4% of the time and has earned nearly 41% of fly balls against righties in the last month. In addition, he’s earned a 20.3% barrel percentage, which is the best percentage of any player against a righty over the last 30 days in this lineup.

    Meanwhile, Dansby Swanson has added a .296 ISO and wOBA of .465 against his last 81 righties. The right-hander shortstop has struck out at a high rate, but he’s also added 56.2% of hard contact with a 14.6% barrel percentage over the last 30 days against righties. That’s led him to a .488 BABIP.

    Conversly, Ben Brown will get the call for the Cubs. The young righty has struck out 25.6% of batters this season. He’s also limited all 176 batters to a .119 ISO and just 25.2% of fly balls. He’s in line to face a Marlins lineup that has hit a .161 ISO and wOBA of .308 over the last 30 days against righties. This lineup also has three batters who have struck out more than 30% of the time over the last 30 days against righties. Ultimately, five batters have struck out at least 21% of the time against righties. I’d expect Brown to pitch pretty deep in this game and earn at least six strikeouts against this Marlins lineup.

    Parlay Odds: +516


    Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

    The Los Angeles Dodgers will throw Landon Knack against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The right-hander has allowed a .212 ISO and wOBA of .373 to his first 75 batters. He’s also allowed 36% of line drives, while inducing only 34% of ground balls. In addition, he’s struck out just 22.7% of batters and has walked nearly 11% to start the season.

    Knack has given up a 12% barrel percentage and 64% of hard contact.

    That said, facing the Diamondbacks isn’t ideal.

    Against righties, Corbin Carroll has smoked a .324 ISO and wOBA of .392 against his last 83 righties. He’s also smashed 71.7% of hard contact and a 15.1% barrel percentage. Carroll has absolutely dominated and is currently an MVP candidate. However, Ketel Marte has done even better against righties than Carroll over the last month. Marte has earned a .433 ISO and wOBA of .453 as a left-handed hitter against righties over the last 30 days. He’s added 80% of hard contact during that time and has earned a team-best 20% barrel percentage against righties.

    Finally, Eugenio Suarez has rocked a .403 ISO and wOBA of .468 against his last 77 righties. The right-hander has driven 44.6% of line drives but has only hit 21.4% of ground balls against righties.

    These three Diamondbacks bats could produce some big numbers against Knack tonight.
