Today is another day that ends in "y" which means it is a great day for betting on Major League Baseball. But I'm not talking about just the traditional betting lines. Not that there is anything wrong with betting the run line, moneyline, or total. No. I'm talking about getting creative, taking a chance, and betting on MLB Same Game Parlays (SGPs).
If you really like the run line, moneyline, and/or total, you include them in your SGP. Sound like fun? Here are my top MLB SGP choices for Tuesday's baseball games.

Tuesday’s Best MLB Same Game Parlay Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Baltimore Orioles vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Last night's offensive explosion (22 runs, 30 hits) wasn't an isolated event. Tampa Bay has been hitting .307 over the last week (best in baseball) while Baltimore has been hitting a respectable .261. Kyle Bradish has not done well in road games (5.89 ERA, .364 OBA). Griffin Jax has pitched well at home (2.35 ERA, .120 OBA). If he gets pulled quickly, the Rays’ bullpen has a 4.44 ERA.
Tampa Bay's lineup should do just fine against Bradish. The Orioles may not do much against Jax, but they'll generate enough offense off the bullpen to send the final score over the total (if the Rays don't do it on their own).
Leg #2: First Five Innings Result: Tampa Bay ML (+130)
Both teams could hit well in this game, but while I expect Bradish to have some early issues against the Rays’ lineup, I think Jax can contain the Orioles’ hitters well enough for Tampa Bay to win the first five innings.
Leg #3: First Five Innings Total: Over 4.5 (+116)
With how the Rays have been hitting, I wouldn't be surprised if they were to record five or more runs on their own in the first five innings off Bradish.
SGP Odds: +414 – A $100 wager will result in a $514 payday, your stake plus $414 in winnings.
Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees
Leg #1: Will Warren Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+110)
Warren has gone over this number in his last six outings and in seven of his last eight. Toronto has been struggling to hit the ball over the last week (.198) and has struck out 45 times across six games. Against this lineup, I'd be surprised if Warren does not go over this number.
Leg #2: Dylan Cease Over 7.5 Strikeouts (-110)
Cease has gone over this number in five of his nine starts this season and in his last two. The Yankees’ lineup is not hitting well (.234) and has recorded 52 strikeouts over the last six games. In 84 at-bats against the Yankees lineup, Cease has recorded 20 strikeouts. He'll go over this total.
Leg #3: Jazz Chisholm to record 2+ Hits, RBI, and Runs (+110)
Chisolm certainly has the hot hand here, having hit two or more hits in each of his last three games. Don't be shocked if he does it again.
SGP Odds: +824 – A $100 wager will result in a $924 payday, your stake plus $824 in winnings.
