Who’s up for a little Monday parlay?
There are 10 games on the MLB schedule this evening, and while not every contest features a moneyline bet that is all that appealing by itself, there are a few games that catch my eye as parlay pieces.
Let’s dig into the slate on the diamond and come up with a tantalizing three-leg parlay on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
Today’s Three-Leg Moneyline MLB Parlay
- Red Sox ML (-232)
- Reds ML (-138)
- Phillies ML (-138)
Parlay Odds: +325
Red Sox ML (-232)
This is a classic spot for a parlay leg. The Rockies are not just the worst team in baseball, but with a .233 winning percentage, Colorado remains on pace to set the modern-day record for losses in a single season. While that’s hilarious, it does tend to leave the Rockies in situations where there’s little to no value in betting their opponent on the moneyline — as is the case this evening in Boston, with the Red Sox as massive favorites. Still, the home team should win this game. Austin Gomber has pitched to a 6.14 xERA in his four starts since coming off the IL and Boston leads the majors in wOBA against LHPs (.345). On top of that, the Red Sox seem to finally be finding some rhythm, as the team has won five of its last six contests.
Reds ML (-138)
Like most teams, the Reds have been far better at home than on the road this season, as they’ve won 24 of their 43 games at Great American Ball Park (55.8%). More important than that is tonight’s pitching matchup. Cincinnati will send Brady Singer to the mound, a man who is the dictionary definition of league-average starter. The former first-round pick sports a career 4.29 ERA with a 3.99 FIP. Across his last eight starts, Singer possesses a 3.64 ERA. He’s a perfectly fine and reliable back-end of the rotation piece. I can not say the same about Janson Junk. The 29-year-old has pitched a grand total of 77.1 innings over parts of five seasons in MLB. Specific to 2025, Junk enters Monday with first percentile marks in both opponent average exit velocity (92.5) and opponent hard hit rate (50.9). Needless to say, I don’t trust the man.
Phillies ML (-138)
Let’s toss a road team into the mix. In general, the Phillies are thriving at the moment, coming into Monday leading the NL East by 1.5 games and having won six of their last 10 contests. However, no Philadelphia player is hotter than Cristopher Sanchez. The lefty has been downright nasty in his last five starts, pitching to a 1.80 ERA and a 1.49 FIP across 35.0 innings of work. It’s a span where Sanchez has struck out 34 opponents and walked just two. That’s a level of control that Landen Roupp could only wish for, as tonight’s starter for the Giants is in possession of a ghastly 17.1% walk rate over his last four appearances. That wildness didn’t come back to haunt Roupp in a recent scoreless outing against the lowly White Sox, but the Phillies will be able to make the RHP pay for his mistakes.
