Who’s up for a little Thursday MLB moneyline parlay?
There are just four games on the diamond this evening, so we’re going to have to use the 75% of the slate to make this thing three-legs, but I’m confident that we can come up with a winner on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
Without further ado, let’s break it all down.
Today’s Three-Leg Moneyline MLB Parlay
- Tigers ML (-135)
- Athletics ML (+104)
- Angels ML (-156)
Parlay Odds: +482
Tigers Moneyline (-135)
It’s hard to pick against the red-hot Blue Jays at the moment, especially in a matchup with an ice-cold Tigers squad that has lost its last eight games where Tarik Skubal wasn’t starting. That said, Toronto has been a different club outside of the Rogers Centre in 2025. Not only are the Jays 24-5 in their last 29 home games, but they possess an AL-high 123 wRC+ within the split. By comparison, Toronto owns only a .111 ISO and a 90 wRC+ when playing on the road. On Thursday, the Jays find themselves in Detroit, going up against Reese Olson. Across 63.0 innings this season, Olson has registered a 2.71 ERA and a 3.06 FIP. Back in May, Olson threw six scoreless innings versus this same Toronto lineup. That’s nothing new for the RHP. Throughout his career, Olson has surrendered just a single earned run and six hits against the Jays over 16.1 frames. Seems like he has their number.
Athletics Moneyline (+104)
You know how they say you can’t predict baseball? Well get this. Jason Alexander has been re-called from the minors to make tonight’s start for the Astros. It’ll be his second start in the big leagues in 2025, the other coming back on June 17 against this same Athletics squad. Not eerie enough? How about factoring in that Alexander began this season with the A’s, but was then designated for assignment in May. Houston’s really leaning on that revenge game narrative. For his career, Alexander possesses a 5.92 ERA. He’s given up 1.56 opponent home runs per nine. He’s the definition of a Quad-A starter, if you catch my drift. Meanwhile, the Athletics will send their “ace” to the mound in Luis Severino. It’s been an underwhelming campaign for the RHP, yet he does carry a 3.10 ERA when pitching away from Sutter Health Park. This also might be Severino’s last chance to impress before the All-Star break. Give me the A’s at plus-money.
Angels Moneyline (-156)
It’s rare to see the Angels so heavily favored in a division game that doesn’t involve the Athletics, but that’s how lopsided this pitching matchup looks on the surface. Los Angeles will send All-Star Yusei Kikuchi to the mound, while the Mariners will counter with rookie Logan Evans. Kikuchi has been dominant across his last 14 starts, registering a 2.64 ERA and a 3.37 FIP over 81.2 innings. On the other side, Evans’ underlying stats are nightmarish, with the RHP rocking a 5.51 xERA and surrendering a .410 wOBA to opponents when pitching away from the always pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park. If there’s one thing the Angels do well, it’s hit home runs. I’d assume Evans serves up a couple on Thursday evening and that should be enough run support for Kikuchi.
