Tuesday’s Best MLB Same Game Parlays
(Odds Courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Leg 1: Brewers -1.5 (+105)
I'm going with the Brewers run line for two reasons: (1) Yes, the Cubs hit Misiorowski hard in his last outing, but he held them to five hits and one earned run across two starts earlier in the season; (2) the Brewers hit David Peterson harder (3 2.3 innings, seven hits, six earned runs.
Leg 2: Over 7.5 Runs (+105)
Both starting pitchers will do better than they did a week ago in Chicago (neither lasted more than four innings, and both gave up four walks). But the total is pretty low, and both teams are solid offensively. Most of the runs will come against relievers, but they'll go over this total.
Leg 3: Jacob Misiorowski Under 8.5 Strikeouts (-146)
Misiorowski is a solid strikeout pitcher, but he did not come close to going over this total in his last four starts and finished under it in three starts vs. the Cubs. Over the last week, the Cubs have averaged seven strikeouts per game.
Parlay Odds: +488 - A $100 wager will result in a $588 payday, your stake plus $488 in winnings.
Colorado Rockies vs. New York Yankees
Leg 1: Yankees (alt run line) -2.5 (+106)
Colorado has been doing a good job at the plate over the last week (.295 BA), but Cam Schlittler will put an end to that real quick. He hasn't allowed more than one run in his last five starts. Gabriel Hughes was solid in his last outing (vs. Baltimore) but posted a 10.03 ERA in August. So, I'm counting on the Yankees lineup to come alive against a very hittable pitcher (.306 OBA on the road).
Leg 2: Ben Rice to Record 2+ Hits (+220)
He went hitless in the series finale vs. the Padres Sunday, but recorded 2+ hits in his previous three games and in six of his last ten. Asking for two is a little risky, but against this pitcher and at that price, it is a solid play.
Leg 3: Gabriel Hughes Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-162)
As a team that likes to swing for the fences, the Yankees are prone to high strikeout numbers from time to time. However, Hughes has not had more than four in his last five starts and may not last long enough to have a shot at going over this total anyway.
Parlay Odds: +571 - A $100 wager will result in a $671 payday, your stake plus $571 in winnings.
