Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers Under 8.5 (-110)
To start off this mega parlay, I’m going with the under in this NL Central clash between the Cubs and Brewers. This isn’t a starting pitching matchup that most casual fans will recognize, but it might be the best pairing of starting pitchers on the slate. Justin Steele gets the ball for Chicago and he’s been one of the most underrated pitchers in baseball in 2023. He doesn’t allow hard contact (91st percentile in hard hit rate), he doesn’t walk hitters (88th percentile in walk percentage) and his advanced numbers are excellent across the board. The Brewers poor offense (27th in SLG and OPS) shouldn’t slow Steele down, as he’s surrendered just 3 runs in his last 4 outings.
The Brewers will counter with Adrian Houser, who’s allowed just 9 runs over his last 22 innings pitched, with 5 coming in just 1 start. Houser’s strikeout percentage and whiff rate are below average, but he also doesn’t allow opposing hitters to barrel his pitches up (86th percentile in barrel percentage) and he’s surrendered just 8 earned runs over his last 4 starts at home this season.
