Now that we have a feel for what's what, April is high time for a lucrative MLB same-same parlay.
For Monday, we're highlighting the Marlins vs Yankees matchup, with first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
Here's my MLB same-game parlay for the contest, where I break down the three parlay legs I need to hit:
Marlins vs Yankees Same-Game Parlay: April 8
The Game: Marlins vs Yankees - 6:05 p.m. ET
| Bet | Odds |
|---|---|
| Nestor Cortes OVER 4.5 Hits Allowed | -150 |
| OVER 8.5 Runs | -115 |
| Anthony Volpe OVER 0.5 Total Bases | -165 |
| Overall | +300 |
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Nestor Cortes OVER 4.5 Hits Allowed (-150)
Nasty Nestor has not embodied his nickname this year. The Cuban left-hander totes a 6.30 ERA into this contest, which puts him in a vulnerable spot, even against a 1-9 Marlins squad.
I've selected the hits allowed prop for our first same-game parlay leg. Cortes has allowed OVER 4.5 hits in his first two starts, and I'll happily wager it again.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: OVER 8.5 Total Runs (-115)
The Marlins are the most consistent OVER club in baseball, sporting an 8-2 O record. The Yanks have been more on the UNDER (6-3-1), but that is changing. New York's sluggers have found their footing, and the club has pushed the total OVER in three of its last four contests.
As a team, the Yankees have six homes in their last four games. Watch for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton to swing for the fences against Jesus Luzardo or Miami's shaky bullpen.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Anthony Volpe OVER 0.5 Total Bases (-165)
Volpe's been awesome to start the season, picking up a hit in seven of his first nine games (78% hit rate). The young shortstop looks more locked in than ever before, and he's benefitted by a favorable pitching matchup Monday.
Volpe has one career at-bat vs Luzardo. He took him deep for a three-run bomb. That'll boost the confidence. Bet on him again this time.
