Friday MLB Parlay Analysis

Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays, 6:41 PM ET

LEG 1: Andrew Vaughn to Record a Hit (-220) with DraftKings

We like Andrew Vaughn to get a hit to kick off this hit parlay. We came so close to cashing yesterday, so we’re back for revenge today. 

Vaughn has recorded a hit in 4 out of his last 5 games. On the season, he is hitting .273 which is solid enough for us to trust him. 

Vaughn and the White Sox face a likely bullpen game from the Rays today. Faucher gets the start for the Rays and he’s given up two and three hits in only a few innings pitched.

At the end of the day, Vaughn specializes in putting the ball in play, He’ll give us the opportunities for a hit, we just have to hope one falls.

Houston Astros vs. Atlanta Braves, 7:21 PM ET

LEG 2: Matt Olson to Record a Hit (-220) with DraftKings

Matt Olson is coming off an 0-4 game. The Braves had the day off yesterday. I expected Matt dialled in. Matt has yet to go back-to-back games without getting a hit this season, and he’s not breaking that trend today.

Olson is batting .280 on the year. He bats in the two-slot for the Braves, so he will see plenty of plate appearances vs. Hunter Brown and the Astros.

Brown has allowed six, two and five hits so far in three starts. He’s a good young pitcher, but Olson is crafty enough to get us a hit.

The Braves are back at home where Olson hits a little better. I could go on and on about Matt, but it’s rather simple, we need a hit. I don’t care how he does it, just get us a hit so we can move on to the third and final late-night leg.

San Diego Padres vs Arizona Diamondbacks, 9:40 PM ET

LEG 3: Christian Walker to Record a Hit (-230) with DraftKings

Christian Walker to record a hit is our last leg to take us home on this parlay. Walker and the D-backs will see Seth Lugo for the Padres today. 

Walker is coming off a game where at one point he was 3-3. To say he enters this game hot is an understatement. 

Seth Lugo will provide hit opportunities for Walker today. Lugo is coming off a start where he allowed eight hits. 

The hit opportunities will be there for Walker, especially in a game with an over/under line set at 9 runs. The Diamondbacks' offense seems to be finding its stride at home, especially after yesterday’s performance. 

More hits and runs from the Arizona offense means more plate appearances for Walker. Can Walker get this last leg done? We say absolutely.
