Wednesday's Best MLB Same Game Parlay Bets
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
Philadelphia Phillies at Tampa Bay Rays
Phillies ML (+110), o4.5 Runs (+125)
Taijuan Walker has been fantastic in his last few turns in the rotation, allowing one run or less in his last five starts. The Rays’ offense has still been above average lately, but they have not been able to keep up the same level they showed early in the season. Over the last month, their wRC+ is 106, which is the middle of the pack.
Walker should be able to continue his elite performance in this one and hold down the Tampa offense. The Rays are sending out a bullpen game with Zach Littell getting the ball first. The Phillies offense is around the same level as the Rays in the last month but they still have the power and upside to hit this over.
Stott has taken a step forward in 2023, with better contact quality leading to better BABIP numbers. The power has mostly been the same as it was last year, but, with his bat-to-ball skills and speed, he is a fantastic bet for multiple TBs whether it comes from a multi-hit effort or an extra-base hit.
Combined Odds: +400
Cincinnati Reds at Washington Nationals
Nationals ML (+100), o5.5 Runs (+155)
Josiah Gray has largely been the same pitcher as he was earlier in his career. However, he has managed to lower his HR rate significantly due to an improved GB%. The Reds’ offense is extremely potent, but based on what Gray has accomplished, the first-time All-Star should be able to keep the Nationals in this one.
The Nats have had a wildly up-and-down offensive season, but they are facing Graham Ashcraft who has struggled a ton in the last few months. In his last nine starts, which included an IL stint in between, Ashcraft has allowed three or more runs in eight of them. The Nats’ offense has the skills needed to take advantage of a struggling arm in a good hitter’s park.
Jeimer Candelario 2+ TBs (+150)
Candelario has quietly bounced back to the above-average offensive threat he was in Detroit with a 118 wRC+ on the season. He has lowered his K% while increasing his ISO. This is all leading to what looks to be a well above-average season. He has a 135 wRC+ against righties this season and he appears to be underpriced here.
Combined Odds: +500
Toronto Blue Jays at Chicago White Sox
White Sox ML (+105), o5.5 Runs (+155)
Lance Lynn is starting for the White Sox. His season could not be going any worse. The strikeouts are still there, but the walks and HRs are both way up, leading to an ERA over 6.00.
The Blue Jays have an elite offense, but it still feels like they never have been able to put it all together. The White Sox offense gets to face Jose Berrios. He has bounced back this season but has still had some massive blow-up games.
Berrios has allowed three or more runs in his last three outings. The Blue Jays’ pen has had enough issues that I believe the White Sox should be able to score in this one.
If the White Sox score, Robert is right in the middle of it. He strikes out a ton, but his power is elite, and his offensive output this season has been too. If the other legs of this bet are going to hit, Robert will have a big game as a part of it.
Combined Odds: +425
