How a Bettor Turned $10 Into $23,000 With a Parlay Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

A DraftKings Sportsbook bettor had a massive night on Tuesday, nailing all four picks for a big payout. By combining a 25% profit boost, the bettor turned $10 into $23,622.50 with a Parlay Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.

The bettor made the following four-leg MLB Parlay Bet at +188900 odds:

• Trea Turner Over 0.5 stolen bases
• Garrett Mitchell Over 0.5 stolen bases
• Jake McCarthy Over 0.5 stolen bases
• Kyle Tucker Over 0.5 stolen bases

Speed was the primary theme of this stolen base parlay. Three of the four players in this parlay have elite speed advanced metrics. According to the league's player tracking system, which measures how fast players run, Trea Turner, Garrett Mitchell and Jake McCarthy all rank in the 99th percentile in sprint speed. Turner and Mitchell are tracked at 30.3 feet per second, with McCarthy at 30.1 feet per second. The league average sprint speed is roughly 27.0 feet per second.

Out of roughly 600 players to be tracked by the system in 2022, Turner ranks as the fourth fastest runner, Mitchell ranks as the sixth fastest runner, and McCarthy ranks as the 11th fastest runner. The only subpar runner in this parlay was Kyle Tucker, who is a tick below average at 26.7 feet per second. Building a stolen base parlay around elite speed was a good idea by this DraftKings Sportsbook bettor.

The first leg of the stolen base parlay was Los Angeles Dodgers SS Trea Turner vs. the San Francisco Giants. The Giants had a bullpen game going at pitcher and started Joey Bart at catcher.

Joey Bart has good advanced metrics behind the plate. Bart's average pop time sits at 1.95 seconds, which is better than the league average pop time of about 2.0 seconds. Bart also has a plus arm, averaging about 82 mph on max-effort throws, which ranks 32nd out of 80 qualified catchers. MLB defines pop time as the time from the moment the pitch hits the catcher's mitt to the moment the ball reaches the fielder's projected receiving point at the base-pop time is essentially a combination of exchange time and arm strength.

Bart having a plus pop time would make him a good candidate to throw baserunners out, but despite the strong advanced metrics, Bart has been below average at throwing baserunners out in his career, posting a career caught stealing percentage of 23%. The league average caught stealing percentage is about 25% in 2022.

Turner picked a marvelous pitch to attempt his stolen base on. Giants LHP Jarlin Garcia threw a loopy 80 mph slider that had 42 inches of vertical break and nine inches of horizontal break. The slow velocity plus the extra movement gave Turner huge margin for error in getting a good jump on Bart's throw, and Turner stole the base in uncompetitive fashion:
