MLB Best Bets: Top Same Game Parlay for Mariners vs. Blue Jays ALCS Game 3

Updated:

By: Garion Thorne

It’s still early, but things are certainly trending towards a Mariners and Dodgers World Series.

Both Seattle and Los Angeles went on the road to begin its respective Championship Series, and both are now returning home up two games to none. The Mariners will be the first club to try and take a commanding 3-0 lead, as they’ll welcome the Blue Jays to T-Mobile Park on Wednesday night.

There are hundreds of bets and props for this crucial ALCS Game 3 on DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s find some of our favorites and put together a lil’ same game parlay, shall we?

Blue Jays vs. Mariners Same Game Parlay

  • Under 7.5
  • Julio Rodriguez 2+ Total Bases
  • Mariners ML

Under 7.5

This total may seem a little low with what the Mariners’ bats were able to accomplish in Game 2 — or with what the Jays’ bats were able to accomplish throughout the ALDS — but T-Mobile Park is just a different animal. While Seattle ranked second in MLB in wRC+ on the road during the regular season (116), it hit only .229 in home games, which was the fourth-lowest mark in the league. Toronto was in the opposite boat throughout 2025. The Blue Jays bludgeoned opponents at home to the tune of 5.3 runs per contest and a 120 wRC+. On the road? Those figures fell to 4.5 runs and a 106 wRC+, respectively. It’s not that either of these lineups are poor all of a sudden, yet Game 3 will clearly not feature either’s preferred setting. Add in a red-hot George Kirby and I truly believe that runs will be at a premium on Wednesday.

Julio Rodriguez 2+ Total Bases

Rodriguez hasn’t been amazing so far in the postseason, striking out in a whopping 38.2% of his 34 plate appearances, yet he’s still been dangerous when he’s made contact, racking up six hits and a pair of long balls across seven games. Rodriguez is also a man that was on absolute fire down the stretch of the regular season, posting a .900 OPS and a 152 wRC+ following the All-Star break. The man can hit — especially in the later stages of the year. Now, Rodriguez and the rest of the Mariners will get the opportunity to go up against a struggling Shane Bieber in Game 3. Bieber lasted only 2.2 innings against the Yankees in Game 3 of the ALDS, giving up a 75.0% hard hit rate and three barrels in what was easily his shortest outing of 2025. The former Cy Young Award winner also had his issues with RHBs prior to the playoffs, surrendering 2.95 home runs per nine within the split with a .396 opponent wOBA.

Mariners ML

I’ll admit that I’m surprised that the Mariners aren’t larger favorites in this spot. Seattle dominated both games in Toronto, and now it returns home against a Blue Jays club that is 41-42 (.494) on the road this season — though one that did sweep a series at T-Mobile Park back in May. To me, the difference in this contest is George Kirby. The right-hander got off to an underwhelming start after beginning the season on the IL, yet once the calendar flipped to June, Kirby posted a 3.68 ERA with a 3.06 FIP. That span includes 11 starts in Seattle with a 2.77 ERA and a 2.52 FIP. Things have only gotten better in the playoffs, with Kirby registering a 14.00 K/BB ratio over his 10.0 innings of work. If Kirby looks anything like he did in Game 5 of the ALDS, the Mariners will go to bed tonight one win away from the franchise’s first World Series appearance.
