MLB SGP: +950 Baltimore Orioles @ New York Yankees

We have an epic showdown in the Bronx tonight as the New York Yankees will host the Baltimore Orioles again after the Bombers took the series opener last night. Tonight, the headliner will be the return of Gerrit Cole to the mound for the Yankees, so we worked up an ultimate same-game parlay to give you some action on the matchup.

Valued at +950, let’s ride!

Leg 1: Yankees ML 

It’s unclear whether or not Aaron Judge will be in the lineup after he was hit by a pitch last night. Regardless, the momentum and confidence Gerrit Cole’s much-anticipated return will give this ball club tonight will be immense. They’ll be up against Cade Povich of the Baltimore Orioles, who is still a young arm with only two career starts under his belt. While those two starts were respectable, going into a hostile environment like Yankee Stadium is a tough spot for any young player still acclimating to the majors. I trust that the better and more veteran-laden team can pull out the victory.

Leg 2: Gerrit Cole 5+ Strikeouts

We have to tout a Gerrit Cole strikeout prop for his return tonight, right? The Orioles as a team are somewhat inconsistent at the plate when it comes to striking out, but last night, Nestor Cortes racked up six strikeouts across six innings of work. While we have nothing to base Cole on this season, we know he has elite stuff that should be able to strike out at least five on any given night, regardless of opponent.

Leg 3: Anthony Volpe 1+ Hit

Anthony Volpe has been as reliable as it gets atop the Yankees’ lineup. He’s had a hit in 33 of his last 38 games. Not too shabby in my book!

Leg 4: Giancarlo Stanton 1+ Hit

Giancarlo Stanton is currently riding a six-game hit streak, and he’ll have a favorable matchup with Povich being a lefty. Despite his inconsistencies, I’ll back his talent against a rookie pitcher who we’re fading across the board. 

Leg 5: Gunnar Henderson 1+ Hit

Gunnar Henderson is on an 11-game hit streak and has recorded at least a single hit in 18 of his last 19 games. Even though Cole isn’t the ideal pitcher to fade, he’s been consistent enough throughout this season to deserve our confidence.

Leg 6: Ramon Urias 1+ Hit

Ramon Urias is a complete unknown to most, but we love him tonight in our same-game parlay. However, to be safe, I’d recommend waiting until the Orioles lineup is confirmed later this afternoon to officially lock him into the parlay, as he’s not a complete guarantee to be in the lineup like the other guys in our parlay. Looking at the numbers, he is 6-13 in his career against Cole, and he’s recorded at least a hit in 12 of his last 14 games. He’s currently priced at -140 to get a hit, so what better value are we going to get than that in this parlay?
