Thursday's Best MLB Same Game Parlays

Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

The Braves will visit Los Angeles in a potential NLCS matchup. The pitching matchup features two right-handed pitchers, with Spencer Strider throwing for the Braves and Lance Lynn on the hill for the Dodgers. I will be backing Spencer Strider tonight as he continues his impressive season (15-4, 3.46 ERA). He also has the best-hitting lineup in baseball behind him.

On the other side, Lance Lynn has been a solid pitcher for years, but his 2023 season has been up and down, and he’ll have a tough task keeping the Braves in check. A player I'm targeting on the Braves is the red-hot Matt Olson, who's been having an incredible season at the plate. Olson is batting .271 on the season vs. righties, including a 1.000 OPS. He sits in the heart of the batting order, which gives him plenty of opportunities today. I like Olson to continue his seven-game hitting streak with another hit today.

I also like the Braves to pull one out tonight behind their big hitters, and I think Strider does his part on the mound.

Parlay Odds: +550

New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers

The Yankees will visit the Tigers as they look to sweep the four-game series in Detroit. The pitching matchup features right-handers Clarke Schmidt for the Yankees and Matt Manning for the Tigers. I’m expecting a high-scoring game, as these pitchers have been prone to allowing runs over the season.

I'm looking for Aaron Judge to hit the ball hard today despite a bit of a slump recently. Singles have been hard to come by for Judge lately, but I think he gets one this afternoon against this Tigers pitching staff. I also like Riley Greene to break out of his mini-slump (.109 in the past 14 days) and have a base hit today against the righty with the potential for more. Greene’s batting .288 with an OPS of .827 against right-handed pitching this season.

I like these teams to keep adding runs with the potential for a high-scoring game in Detroit.

Parlay Odds: +625
