Tuesday’s Best MLB Same Game Parlays
(Odds courtesy of bet365)
Kansas City Royals vs. Detroit Tigers
Leg #1: Tigers -1.5 (+170)
Royals starter Cole Ragans has a 5.91 ERA; Tigers starter Framber Valdez has a 4.91 ERA. If this were to become a high-scoring game, it would not be shocking. But whether it does or not, Valdez may look like the pitcher Astros fans used to love against this Royals lineup (hitting .157) and lead the team to a win.
The Tigers won their last three and are 5-1 at home, while the Royals have struggled in road games (2-4).
Leg #2: Kevin McGonigle Over 1.5 Total Bases (+202)
Kevin McGonigle had the night off yesterday, but went over this mark in his last three games and in eight out of 11 games this month.
The youngster is hitting .322 so far this season, which could make him a candidate to be pitched around. With how he's done against this total in April, the value is too good to pass up.
Leg #3: Javier Baez Over 0.5 Hits (-150)
Javier Baez is hitting .316 so far this season. He has hit safely in his last five starts, in six out of eight games this month and in eight out of 11 games this season. With how well he has been making contact, I love Baez’s chances of getting at least one hit today.
Parlay Odds: +825 - A $100 wager will result in a $925 payday; your stake plus $825 in winnings.
San Francisco Giants vs. Cincinnati Reds
Leg #1: Giants Moneyline (-115)
The Giants should cover this game. Their lineup is hitting .297 over the last week, and starting pitcher Robbie Ray has given up just two runs in his last two starts (both wins).
However, while the Reds are hitting .195 over the last week, they averaged four or more runs a game, just like the Giants. So, I don't feel like I can trust San Francisco to cover, making the Moneyline the better bet.
Leg #2: Elly De La Cruz Over 1.5 Total Bases (+132)
Elly De La Cruz has gone well over this mark in his last three games (with at least four total bases). He's one of the more prolific offensive weapons the Reds have on the roster.
While De La Cruz has gone 0-for-4 lifetime versus Robbie Ray, this market is a solid value play at plus-money odds.
Leg #3: Ke’Bryan Hayes Under 0.5 Hits (+134)
Ke’Bryan Hayes has not had a hit in his last five games and has only hit his way onto base in three out of 12 games. He has a .079 batting average. Against a solid pitcher like Robbie Ray, it's unlikely Hayes gets his fourth hit of the season today.
Parlay Odds: +925 - A $100 wager will result in a $ 1,025 payday; your stake plus $925 in winnings.
