Monday MLB Parlay Analysis

Colorado Rockies vs. Pittsburgh Pirates, 6:36 PM ET

LEG 1: Kris Bryant to Record a Hit (-230) with DraftKings

Kris Bryant and the Rockies face off against Mitch Keller and the Pirates today. All we need from Kris is a hit today to kick-off this parlay.

On the season, Bryant is hitting a stellar .300 batting average. Although he can be a streaky hitter, Bryant is coming off a two-hit game in New York.

Bryant faces Mitch Keller, and we like that matchup for him and the Rockies as a team. Mitch Keller is prone to the hit parade and has allowed 5+ hits in five out of his seven starts this season.

In his career, Bryant has had success vs Keller as well. Bryant has a .625 batting average vs Keller in 10 plate appearances. The numbers are there, we just need him to perform today.

LEG 2: Esteury Ruiz to Record a Hit (-235) with DraftKings

Not a household name, Esteury Ruiz has quietly been a great hitter this season. As of late, Ruiz is hitting .308 in his last nine games.

Ruiz has been the closest thing to an automatic hit recently. Ruiz has a hit in nine straight games, and we need it to be 10 today.

Ruiz faces Nestor Cortes and the Yankees today. Cortes has allowed 5+ hits in four out of his six starts this season.

Since the A’s are the away team, they’ll get nine innings of guaranteed at bats. The over/under line is also set fairly high. 

The offense should be cooking today, hopefully it’s Ruiz in the kitchen.


Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners, 9:41 PM ET

LEG 3: Ty France to Record a Hit (-235) with DraftKings

The final leg for the +200 Winner is Ty France. Last week, France was swinging like if I was up there at the plate, going hitless for six straight games.

However, France has turned it around with a hit in five straight games including two and three hits in his last two games. France is batting .381 over this stretch & I expect that to continue today against Jon Gray of the Rangers.

Gray gives up hits, that’s just what he does. Gray has allowed 6, 4 & 8 hits over his last three games. I fully expect some more hits coming the Mariners way. 

Ty France is only 1-2 lifetime vs. Gray, so that average is due to come up a little. I won’t overthink this one. France has treated us right in the hit parlay before, no chance he would hurt us, not on a Monday.

Last note, our trusted ally, the DimersBOT loves France to record a hit giving it a 5.2% Edge. The Bot was dialed in last week. Let’s start off this week with a winner!
