Tuesday’s Best MLB Same Game Parlays
(Odds Courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs
- Leg 1: Under 9.0 Total Runs (-105)
- Leg 2: Tarik Skubal Over 7.5 Strikeouts (-111)
- Leg 3: Javier Assad Over 3.5 Strikeouts (+104)
Tarik Skubal is going to have a day in his debut for the Dodgers. He allowed seven runs in five starts in July, and I doubt a Chicago lineup hitting .206 over the last week will come alive against him. The Dodgers have been hitting better (.284) but haven't scored much more than Chicago (25 runs over the last week to the Cubs’ 22). They may get to Javier Assad, but Assad is a solid pitcher, so I wouldn't expect them to light him up.
Skubal only had six strikeouts in his last start but has gone over this total in six of his last eight games. The Cubs have averaged just over eight per game over the last week (50 in six games). But in his first start for the team favored to win the World Series, Skubal will bring a little more fire than usual to this game.
Assad is not known as a big-time strikeout pitcher; he went over this number just twice in five starts in July. The Dodgers have struck out just 44 times in their last six games, but the starters went for more than 3.5 in four of them.
It's not a lock by any means, but it's a solid value play.
Parlay Odds: +383 – A $100 wager will result in a $483 payday, your stake plus $383 in winnings.
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Houston Astros
- Leg 1: Astros Moneyline (-126)
- Leg 2: Yanier Diaz to Record a Hit (-190)
- Leg 3: Kazuma Okamoto to Record a Hit (-195)
- Leg 4: Hayden Wesneski Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+132)
Part of me really wants to go with the Astros to cover (-1.5) at +158 because they've been hitting so well over the last week (.339). But despite generating ten hits yesterday, they scored just one run. However, they've found a winning formula, winning eight of their last ten. They'll figure out how to beat the AL East last-place team tonight.
I don't want to push it too much here since Yesavage is a solid pitcher, but if anyone is going to get at least one hit, it's a guy hitting .556 over the last week (10-for-18).
I'm being a little cautious with this pick as well since we don't know a ton about Hayden Wesneski after one start back from Tommy John surgery. But in that start, righties hit .347 (5-for-14). Okamoto, a righty, has hit safely in six of his last seven games.
He only had four punch outs in his first start, but is facing a Toronto lineup that has struck just 30 times over the last six games. Since there is a good chance he'll have an innings restriction, I doubt Wesnewski will be in the game long enough to get four.
Parlay Odds: +798 – A $100 wager will result in a $898 payday, your stake plus $798 in winnings.
