All 30 teams are in action today, with the first game going live at 2:20 p.m. ET (Rays at Cubs) followed by a 14-game slate post-6 p.m. The weather looks good throughout the Bigs, and fans will have plenty of options to watch as Apple TV+ has its normal Friday Night Baseball doubleheader and MLB Network will carry five games as we head down the homestretch of the season.
MLB Odds & Storylines
Tonight will see the Yankees travel to Boston to kick off a key series with playoff implications, with the Bronx Bombers a 1.5-run favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook and a half game up on their division rival for the top Wild Card spot. We’ve also got other storylines to watch, including presumptive AL Cy Young Tarik Skubal (-5000 to win the award) taking the hill for the Tigers and the Brewers (+800 to win the World Series) looking to become MLB’s first 90-win team.
Home Run Milestones + Big Papi’s HR Profit Boost
However, I’m really looking at a couple of home run stories tonight, which dovetails nicely with David Ortiz’s 34% HR Profit Boost. That’s right, get a 34% profit boost to use on any MLB Home Run single, parlay, SGP, or SGPx bet today! Further promotion details can be found on the DraftKings Sportsbook website or app.
In case you hadn’t been paying attention, Cal Raleigh has been having himself a year in the Pacific Northwest. The Mariners slugger, affectionally named “Big Dumper,” enters play tonight at 53 home runs, just 1 away from tying Mickey Mantle for the most home runs in a single season by a switch hitter. He’ll be facing the Angels and Mike Trout, who himself is on the precipice of a milestone as he enters tonight’s game with 399 career home runs. Meanwhile in Queens, Juan Soto finds himself just one home run shy of a 40/30 season as the Mets take on the Rangers in interleague play. Put the three of them together and you have yourself an interesting trip down narrative street.
Parlay:
Cal Raleigh 1+ Home Runs (+203)
Mike Trout 1+ Home Runs (+395)
Juan Soto 1+ Home Runs (+324)
Odds: +7839 (with David Ortiz’s 34% HR Profit Boost)
Head over to DraftKings Sportsbook to opt in and take advantage of Big Papi’s 34% home run profit boost or any other storyline you’re chasing tonight on the diamond!
