I'm back with another MLB same-game parlay today.
A Tampa Bay vs Oakland game might not be the sexiest battle on the slate, but I love this trio of picks. I'm backing surging A's pitcher Osvaldo Bido to have another great day and deliver the bulk of this +259 parlay.
Check out my full Rays vs Athletics same-game parlay here:

Rays vs A's Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: A's ML
The Rays may be 5-1 in their last six games, but they're running into a brick wall in Osvaldo Bido. The A's righty has started three games as an underdog this season... the A's have won all three contests (+3.35 units).
I also don't trust the Tampa offense at all in this one. The Rays have the third-worst team OPS in baseball over the last month (.645) averaging just 3.65 runs per game in that time. The A's have a .694 team OPS in the same stretch.
Rays vs A's Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Osvaldo Bido OVER 3.5 Ks
You may never have heard of him, but Bido is on quite the heater lately. The A's pitcher has allowed two earned runs across his last three starts and has struck out at least five batters in his last five outings. I thought about taking the OVER 4.5 or 5.5 here, but with my confidence in the other bets I wanted to play it safe.
The Rays have the eighth-highest team strikeout rate (24.4%) so if you want a better payout, feel free to juice this K OVER up a few notches.
Rays vs A's Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: NRFI
The Rays and A’s as teams aren’t the most lock-down NRFI teams. They’re both hitting the NRFI just a hair over 50%.
But, this Bido/Springs matchup has real NRFI potential. Springs is 3-1 on the NRFI in his starts this year while Bido is 5-1. These offenses are both bottom-10 in first-inning runs scored this year, as well.
