We’ve reached the weekend, and there’s no better way to start it off than with a mega parlay. This mega parlay pays out at nearly 9/1 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook, so don’t miss out!
For this parlay, we are going with one run line pick, one money line pick and one alternate total pick. Let's break down each of the three legs one by one.
New York Yankees -1.5 over Boston Red Sox (+130)
If there's one pitcher I don't want to back at Yankee Stadium, it's Nick Pivetta. In 3 career starts at Yankee Stadium, Pivetta is 0-3 with an 11.57 ERA and is allowing a .313 batting average. Of the 15 hits he's allowed in those 11.2 innings, 4 have been home runs. He's struggled against the Yankees his entire career, and that hasn't changed this season as he's posted a 9.67 ERA in 4 starts against New York. In 18.2 innings against the Yankees in 2022, he's allowed 20 runs and 25 hits, including 8 home runs. The top of the New York order has crushed Pivetta in their careers as Aaron Judge is 5-for-11 (.455) with 2 home runs, Giancarlo Stanton is 9-for-23 (.391) with 3 home runs and Anthony Rizzo is 7-for-19 (.368) with 2 home runs. With a terrible Red Sox bullpen coming in behind Pivetta, this game should be all Yankees from the start.
Minnesota Twins ML over Los Angeles Angels (-135)
Joe Ryan is on a 14.2-inning scoreless streak. The rising star has thrown back-to-back scoreless outings against the Royals and Guardians, which has lowered his ERA in September to 1.93. Not only are we getting Ryan when he's on a roll, but he's also starting at home, which makes a massive difference for him. At Target Field, Ryan has a 7-4 record and a 2.85 ERA in 14 starts. Opponents are hitting just .180 with a .263 against Ryan when he starts in Minnesota, a large difference from the .247 opponent batting average when he starts on the road. The Minnesota offense will face Reid Detmers, who has allowed 17 hits and 9 runs in 15.1 innings in September. The Twins lineup won't need too many runs with Ryan on the mound, so back the home team on the money line.
