Thursday's Best MLB Same Game Parlays: Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers MLB Same Game Parlays
- Leg 1: Kyle Tucker Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110)
- Leg 2: Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Total Bases (-155)
- Leg 3: Zac Gallen Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-144)
Zac Gallen is taking the hill for the Arizona Diamondbacks to begin the season. He is a notable pitcher, but he’s been far from excellent, especially on the analytical side. Gallen struck out only 21.5% of batters last season and allowed a .187 ISO and wOBA of .319. He also gave up more than 30% of fly balls and only earned 9.5% of swinging strikes.
Gallen struck out only 19% of lefties and allowed a .167 ISO and wOBA of .329 to 399 lefties. We’ll want to attack with left-handed hitters.
Kyle Tucker will want to make a nice first impression with his new team. He smashed a .204 ISO and wOBA of .370 with only 14.3% of strikeouts against righties last year as a left-handed hitter. He can do damage to Gallen. So can Shohei Ohtani, who hit a .364 ISO and wOBA of .434 against right-handed pitchers last season in 455 plate appearances.
The Dodgers’ projected starting lineup only struck out 20% of the time against righties last season. Only Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez and Alex Freeland had strikeout rates above 20% against righties. Take Gallen to go under 4.5 strikeouts to close out this same-game parlay.
