Athletics vs. Chicago White Sox
- Leg 1: White Sox Moneyline (-168)
- Leg 2: Sean Burke 6+ Strikeouts (-146)
- Leg 3: Sean Burke Under 8.5 Hits + Walks + Earned Runs Allowed (-106)
- Leg 4: Miguel Vargas Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-145)
Let's lead off our same-game parlays with an American League matchup between the Athletics and White Sox. Multiple arrows point towards Chicago getting the win at home here. So, use the Moneyline to anchor your parlay with some player props sprinkled in.
Sean Burke gets the start for the White Sox. The right-hander has been pitching very well lately, with a 1.80 ERA over his last four outings and a 2.96 ERA over his last eight games. Burke's strikeouts have increased recently as well. He has six or more strikeouts in eight straight outings, averaging 7.5 strikeouts per game during that stretch.
Burke can keep it going against the Athletics, who have struggled against right-handed pitching lately. The A's are batting just .202 with a .254 wOBA against righties over the last two weeks. Those numbers rank 28th and 29th in the Majors, respectively. They also have a 28.3% strikeout rate versus right-handers over this span, which is the second-highest in baseball.
On the other side, the Athletics will use Jacob Lopez as an opener before Aaron Civale as the likely bulk reliever. Lopez has a rough 7.04 ERA and 1.84 WHIP this season.
The southpaw was recently recalled from Triple-A and promptly allowed four runs in three innings in his latest outing. Civale, meanwhile, has a 5.10 ERA and 1.58 WHIP this season. He also has an ugly 9.47 ERA over his last six starts.
Miguel Vargas should be among the Chicago hitters who have success today. He could get two at-bats against Lopez, which favors his better splits. Against left-handers, Vargas is batting .281 with a .994 OPS this season. He also owns an .896 OPS at home. Conversely, Lopez is allowing a .314 average and .944 OPS to right-handed hitters this year.

Seattle Mariners vs. Tampa Bay Rays
- Leg 1: Rays Moneyline (-114)
- Leg 2: Yandy Diaz Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-130)
- Leg 3: Junior Caminero Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-137)
- Leg 4: Jonathan Aranda Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-119)
Let's now turn our attention to the Rays hosting the Mariners in another American League matchup. Tampa Bay will look to get back in the win column after losing big to the Yankees on Thursday. The Rays are now 11-4 over their last 15 games and should be motivated to end the first half strong.
Meanwhile, the Mariners just got swept by the Marlins, continuing their road woes. Seattle is now 6-13 on the road since the beginning of June. Back those struggles to continue as we lock in the Rays to win on Friday.
Tampa Bay has the starting pitching edge. Nick Martinez owns a 2.61 ERA and 1.13 WHIP this season. The Rays are also 13-4 in his starts so far. He'll face a Seattle offense batting a league-low .185 against right-handed pitching over the past week. The Mariners also have a subpar .276 wOBA versus righties over the last month, ranking 29th in the Majors.
On the other side, Seattle starter Luis Castillo has struggled to a 4.79 ERA this season. He's had some good outings lately, but the veteran has also been up and down all season. Castillo could have issues against the Rays’ top-five home offense. They also bring in a .347 wOBA and .271 batting average against righties over the last month, which rank fifth and seventh, respectively, in baseball.
As we fade Castillo, let's pinpoint a trio of Tampa hitters to be productive. Yandy Diaz is batting .335 with a .925 OPS against right-handed pitching this year. He's also crushing at home, with a .387 average and .116 OPS at Tropicana. Diaz is swinging a hot bat as well, owning a .382 batting average and .969 OPS over the last three weeks.
Jonathan Aranda is hitting .296 with an .897 OPS against righties this season. He also boasts an .863 OPS at home, and is batting .326 with an .863 OPS over the last 23 games. Junior Caminero has better numbers versus lefties than right-handers, but he still has an .874 OPS in the split. The Rays star also brings in a .313 batting average and 1.035 OPS at home.
