Monday’s Best MLB Same Game Parlays
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Colorado Rockies vs. Texas Rangers
- Leg 1: Josh Smith Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)
- Leg 2: Evan Carter Over 1.5 Total Bases (+165)
- Leg 3: Chase Dollander Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-136)
Chase Dollander will take the hill for the Rockies. He’s allowed a .248 ISO and wOBA of .387 to his first 130 batters this season. The rookie right-hander has struggled against both sides of the plate, but he’s been worse against lefties. Lefties have hit a .286 ISO and wOBA of .403 against him throughout the season. Dollander has also allowed 34% of fly balls with only 36.2% of ground balls induced against lefties this season.
Meanwhile, he’s struck out only 19.2% of batters and will take on a Rangers lineup that has struck out only 16.1% of the time over the last 30 days against righties.
Josh Smith has socked a .203 ISO and wOBA of .392 with only 7.8% of strikeouts against righties. The lefty will likely lead off for the Rangers and has a really good matchup. Meanwhile, Evan Carter is heating up. He’s another lefty who has hit a .250 ISO and wOBA of .323 with zero strikeouts against righties since returning to the lineup.
Smith and Carter have lots of potential tonight. Dollander doesn’t.
Parlay Odds: +757
Los Angeles Angels vs. San Diego Padres
- Leg 1: Manny Machado Over 1.5 Total Bases (+105)
- Leg 2: Elias Diaz Over 0.5 Hits (-165)
- Leg 3: Michael King Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-160)
The Los Angeles Angels will send Yusei Kikuchi to the mound tonight. The lefty has done great against lefties, but he’s still struggled against righties this season. Kikuchi has allowed a .175 ISO and wOBA of .353 to his first 154 righties this season. He’s also struck out only 18.8% of righties and has walked 10.4% of righties this year.
In addition, Kikuchi has allowed more than 25% of line drives and has allowed 29.4% of fly balls to righties. He’s also induced only 37.6% of ground balls against righties.
Manny Machado should be able to take advantage of Kikuchi the most. The right-handed hitter has slugged a .292 ISO and wOBA of .453 with 14.3% of strikeouts against lefties over the last 30 days. In addition, Elias Diaz has smacked a .231 ISO and wOBa of .410 with only 6.7% of strikeouts for the Padres against lefties. He can get at least one hit, if not more.
Lastly, Michael King is taking the hill for the Padres. The right-hander has struck out 27% of batters this season, while giving up just a .106 ISO and wOBA of .250. He’s in line to face an Angels projected lineup that has struck out 28.8% of the time combined. Seven batters in the Angels lineup have struck out at least 23.4% of the time against righties. King should get through this lineup with ease and record a ton of strikeouts.
Parlay Odds: +406
