May 24, 2024MLB Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions – Sunday, May 26
May 24, 2024Had Eric Fedde not managed to go six innings regardless of taking the loss, we would’ve swept all legs recommended for last Monday’s same game parlay picks. Toronto ended up cashing in as hefty home chalk on Victoria Day, while Jose Berrios went over what proved to be a laughable 4.5-K prop in the fifth inning. The day closed out with a tremendous comeback by the Angels who overcame a 6-1 fifth inning deficit to log the 9-7 win in the series opener with the Astros. In the process, the game flew over the closing total at Caesars Sportsbook while the Halos also went over their team total and bounced Framber Valdez from the game before he could exceed his pitching outs prop. Here’s to kicking off another week in style on Memorial Day – SLAM YOUR MAN!!

Kansas City Royals vs. Minnesota Twins MLB Same Game Parlay:
The Twins 12-game win streak is nothing but a thing of the past now that the team has only managed to win six of their last 15 played games. Because of it, Rocco Baldelli’s troops currently look up at both the Royals and Guardians 6.5-games out of first place in the AL Central while holding a slim half-game lead over the Red Sox for the third and final wild card slot. It goes without saying just how important this series opener with Kansas City is considering it will be the division rival’s first run-in against one another since last crossing paths to kick off the 2024 baseball betting season at the end of March.
Caesars’ linemakers will have them installed midrange home chalk on the MLB odds to come out on top of the series opener with staff ace Joe Ryan set to square off against the overperforming Alec Marsh who I don’t believe to be anywhere near as good as his surface stats paint him out to be. The toughest offense he’s faced over the last month in which the righty allowed 16 hits and 5 ER through 20.2 total innings came in the form of the Los Angeles Angels. While the Twins don’t possess an imposing batting lineup (#21), it still averages 4.5 runs per game (#12) and had won four straight home series before most recently getting swept by the Yankees.
For one reason or another, Ryan’s had a rough go of it toeing his home bump this year. He’s 1-3 with a bloated 5.02 ERA and 1.05 WHIP a year removed from going 7-4 with a 3.83 ERA and .232 BAA over 14 total starts in front of the hometown faithful. He’s due some positive regression within Target Field, and while KC is a much different team now than it’s been throughout his first three big league seasons, the right-hander already tossed 5.1 innings of 1 ER ball with 5 K against the Royals earlier this year to improve to 5-0 with a 1.52 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across seven lifetime starts. Look for Minnesota to set the tone of the series right from the outset behind a sterling showing from its staff ace.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco Giants MLB Same Game Parlay:
The Phillies have been nothing short of a runaway money train with it an MLB-best 35-14 overall and up nearly a grand for MLB bettors on the season. It’s been nearly as good on the road (15-6, $595) as it’s been at home (20-8, $400), but I’m going to voluntarily walk the plank and fade Bryce Harper and Co. in the opener of this three-game set with the Giants. Since getting the brooms busted out on them in Philadelphia back in early May, San Francisco has played a solid brand of ball coming out victorious in eight of 13 played games ($271) to bring some life back into their playoff hopes. They currently sit a single game out of the NL wild card picture, and I can’t help but think Oracle Field will be hopping for Blake Snell’s Memorial Day start with the team looking to improve upon its 15-10 ($238) home record.
The southpaw’s first three starts were extremely forgettable (11.57 ERA). However, the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner looked more the part in his most recent rehab stint in logging nine innings of no-hit ball with 17 K and one issued walk. As nasty Philly has been against right-handed pitching in going 23-6 versus the baseball betting lines and plating an average of 5.7 runs per game (#1), it’s been less dominant against LHP with it 12-8 and averaging 4.9 runs per game (#7).
Snell tossed five innings of three hit and no run ball with 7 K and 3 BB at the Phillies last season, and owns a 3.86 ERA and .138 batting average against versus Philadelphia over five lifetime starts. I fully expect him to put on a show in his return to Oracle and leave the game in a position to tally his first win of the season with the offense likely to get to Taijuan Walker who’s 3-0 with a 4.91 ERA and looks to be pitching on borrowed time with his stuff largely ineffective regardless of the unblemished record.
