MLB Same Game Parlays & Picks: Wednesday (6/4)
It's amazing how many close calls we've had this year with our MLB same game parlays (SGP), picks and predictions, but my record shows that it only takes a couple to get into the positive side of the win column.
The two hits so far have been nice longshots, so despite the 2-17 record, we're still close to breaking even on the year. That's why I'll remind you that hitting parlays is complicated and not something to expect any given night. I'll come to you weekly with my favorite SGPs of the day. Remember, SGPs are high-risk/high-reward, so you aren't going to hit them frequently, but when you do, it's an incredible feeling.
I'll come at you with multiple legs of my favorite MLB same game parlays, but remember to shop around. Many sportsbooks have different odds for any given SGP and other boosts. Books love when you bet them, so you might as well take advantage of whatever boosted odds they have to offer. Let's get to it.

Wednesday's MLB Best Same Game Parlays & Bets
Last Time: 0-2 | Season: 2-17 (-4.0 Units) | All odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Toronto Blue Jays
- Leg 1: Phillies -1.5 (+142)
- Leg 2: Mick Abel Under 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-120)
- Leg 3: Nick Castellanos 2+ Total Bases (+110)
After handling business to open the series, I'm betting the Phillies are going to run it back tonight with another victory. Mick Abel made his debut for Philly on Sunday, spinning six scoreless innings against Pittsburgh. Toronto's offense has been fine this year, but they rank in the bottom half of the league in runs scored and in the bottom 10 in home runs.
Mick Abel should keep the ball in the yard, and his recent entry into the league only favors him further against a lineup with no experience against the righty. On the other side. Jose Berrios has struggled more at home this year, and the Phillies have clobbered the Blue Jays starter up and down the lineup. It always feels like a joke to bet Nick Castellanos props, but he has a career .381 average and .952 OPS against Berrios, so I'm happy backing him here. If you'd rather just take the Phillies on the Moneyline instead of the run line, I fully support that, but I don't expect this one to be close.
Parlay Odds: +450
Chicago Cubs vs. Washington Nationals
- Leg 1: Cubs Moneyline (-135)
- Leg 2: Over 8.5 Runs (-112)
- Leg 3: Keibert Ruiz 2+ Total Bases (+140)
- Leg 4: Seiya Suzuki 2+ Total Bases (+100)
Runs. Runs. Runs. That's the TL;DR for this parlay. The Cubs’ offense has been awesome so far this year, with the second-most runs scored overall and the most per game in the league. As a Cubs fan, it's sick. Seiya Suzuki has been solid for Chicago with 14 longballs. What stands out is how he fared against lefties. The Cubs outfielder owns a 1.192 OPS against southpaws this year and has a positive history against MacKenzie Gore, too.
Washington's offense hasn't been too shabby either, ranking 11th overall offensively in terms of runs scored. My pick to click tonight for the Nationals to help push this game over is Keibert Ruiz. The Nats catcher has favorable splits against lefties and at home, batting .310 in D.C. this year. That crossing of solid splits is too much to pass up on. Still, I expect the Cubs to overpower Washington on their way to a 7-5 win.
Parlay Odds: +950
Kansas City Royals vs. St. Louis Cardinals
- Leg 1: Under 8.0 Runs (-102)
- Leg 2: Noah Cameron Under 5.5 Hits Allowed (-105)
- Leg 3: Jonathan India 2+ Total Bases (+120)
The alternative to runs, runs, runs is the pitching duel I expect for today's Kansas City-St. Louis game. Kansas City has been one of the worst offenses in the league this year, with the second-fewest runs scored in the league. It helps that they have the fourth-lowest team ERA, and that is in part due to Noah Cameron taking the bump tonight. Despite starting the season late, the southpaw has been unstoppable, allowing no more than one earned run in any of his four starts.
Cameron has also let up over five hits in just one of his four starts and is great at limiting solid contact. While I don't trust the Royals’ offense to come through, Jonathan India has seen plenty of Miles Mikolas across his career, and he owns a 1.113 OPS. Even if Mikolas gets pulled early, the Cardinals’ bullpen isn't much to write home about. I'm imagining a 4-2 Royals win here.
Parlay Odds: +625
