Thursday's Best MLB Same Game Parlay
(Odds courtesy of Fanduel Sportsbook)
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres
- Leg 1: Over 8.5 Total Runs (-120)
- Leg 2: Freddie Freeman Over 0.5 Singles (-155)
- Leg 3: Manny Machado Over 0.5 RBIs (+130)
Thursday’s game will be the debut for the Dodgers’ rookie phenom Yoshinobu Yamamoto, as he gets the start on the mound and faces off against Joe Musgrove for the Padres. Wednesday’s game saw the Padres get on the board first with an RBI single from Xander Bogaerts, but the Dodgers responded on their way to a 5-2 win.
For my first leg in Thursday’s SGP, I’m looking to play the Over. I think the Padres bats can come alive after getting a game under their belt. They’ll be the first team to face Yamamoto, and while he could have an advantage the first time through the lineup, I’m not expecting him to go deep in this game. The Dodgers will want to protect their rookie asset, so we’re looking at potentially another major bullpen game for these teams.
Our second and third legs will be hitter props, starting with Freddie Freeman to record a Single, as I believe he gets his first hit of 2024. Freeman is comfortable vs. Musgrove, owning a career .385 AVG against him with an 1.099 OPS. I’m also looking for Manny Machado to get on the board in the RBI column in this game. I like the Padres to get their bats going later on in this game against this Dodgers’ bullpen.
Expect more runs in Game 2 from South Korea, as the Padres try to keep up with the explosive Dodgers lineup.
Parlay Odds: +405
