Detroit Tigers left fielder Riley Greene (31) hits a single against the New York Mets during the eleventh inning at Citi Field.

Looking for some free MLB parlay picks and high-quality analysis? You’re in the right spot! Our Props.com analysts will be dropping plenty of our best MLB parlays and bets throughout the season.

To spice things up even more, the evolution of same game parlays (and same game parlays plus) over the years has allowed us to combine multiple props from different games.

Correlation is one key prop betting strategy. For example, if we have a serious conviction behind fading a pair of pitchers from separate games on a given day, we can back multiple hitting props from two separate teams batting against them.

Lottery or “lotto” parlays are fun, but they can be reckless. Let’s find some favorable spots to garner a nice, rational return on investment today.

Best MLB Parlays & Pick’Em Plays Today: Friday July 11

We hit two out of three legs yesterday, so we came up just shy of making it three winning slips in a row.

Let’s bounce back on Friday at Underdog.

Today's MLB Underdog Pick'em 3-pick slip featuers Riley Greene, Kyle Stowers, and Chase Burns - July 11, 2025

Today’s 3-pick slip for a possible 6x return at Underdog:

  • Riley Greene Higher Than 6.5 Fantasy Points
  • Kyle Stowers Higher Than 6.5 Fantasy Points
  • Chase Burns Higher Than 6.5 Strikeouts

MLB Pick’em Play: Riley Greene

Greene is in the midst of a fantastic season. He’s been hot over the last 30 days with ISO and wOBA rates both over .400, with a massive 50% fly-ball rate against right-handed pitchers.

Although Luis Castillo isn’t exactly the ace he once was he’s still effective. However, he’s been much worse vs. left-handed hitters, allowing a .341 wOBA, 11% barrel rate, and striking out just 16% of them.

Seattle lost a heartbreaker in extras yesterday, and they used some of their high-leverage arms, which also helps make a case for Greene.

MLB Pick’em Play: Kyle Stowers

The former Oriole is breaking out, and he might be the best hitter on the Marlins right now. He owns a 70% hard-hit rate and 22% barrel rate vs. RHP this season. Opposing starter Dean Kremer has beent touched up by lefties this season.

The Marlins are on the road, which is nice to have 9th-inning at-bats in our back pockets.

MLB Pick’em Play: Chase Burns

I’m going back to the well on Burns, who came through for us in a big way after getting blasted by the Red Sox two runs ago.

Once Burns finds his command, he’s going to be a problem for years to come. He never had issues at the lower levels with control, and the Rockies are a team he should be able to straight up challenge.

Through an up-and-down beginning to his big-league tenure, Burns is still sporting a 30% strikeout rate at the MLB level.

Best MLB Parlays & Pick’Em Plays Today: Thursday, July 10

So, Props fam, we’re on a bit of a heater. We hit back-to-back 3-pick slips earlier this week and had a getaway day on Wednesday. Time to get back to the grind and find a winner for a third-straight slate!

Don’t miss out on cashing MLB slips at Underdog!

Play today’s 3-pick slip for a possible 6x return at Underdog:

  • James Wood Higher Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
  • Junior Caminero Higher Than 6.5 Fantasy Points
  • Nick Lodolo Lower Than 5.5 Strikeouts

MLB Pick’em Play: James Wood

Wood has been fantastic in 2025. The Nationals are on the road, so they’ll get that 9th-inning at-bat, which is another nice out to have in our back pocket. Miles Mikolas has been terrible this season, yielding a .232 ISO and .369 wOBA to left-handed hitters.

MLB Pick’em Play: Junior Caminero

The BvP truthers will see that Caminero is hitless in a few measly career at-bats vs. Walker Buehler, but I’ll put my money on him every time in this matchup. Buehler just can’t figure it out, and he’s been getting pummeled by righties this season, yielding a .267 ISO and 13% barrel rate to them.

Caminero is one of the best, young reverse-splits righties in the game right now, so this is an ideal matchup to target.

MLB Pick’em Play: Nick Lodolo

Lodolo is a fine pitcher, but he’s striking out just 20% of hitters, and Miami has been surprisingly pesky vs. southpaws this season. The Marlins’ projected lineup has six hitters in it who have struck out at a 21% clip or less vs. LHP in 2025.

Good luck!

Best MLB Parlays & Pick’Em Plays Today: Tuesday, July 8

Bang! We hit our pick’em slip yesterday at Underdog. Let’s run it back and make it two in a row.

Today's MLB pick'em slip features Addison Barger, Nick Kurtz, and Shota Imanaga. July 8, 2025

Play today’s 3-pick slip for a 6x return at Underdog Fantasy!

  • Addison Barger Higher Than 1.5 Total Bases
  • Nick Kurtz Higher Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
  • Shota Imanaga Lower Than 4.5 Strikeouts

MLB Pick’em Play: Addison Barger

Barger is in the midst of a breakout campaign for the Blue Jays, ranking 80th percentile or better in a ton of major advanced metrics (via Baseball Savant). He owns a star-like  .260 ISO, .373 wOBA, and 75% hard-hit rate vs. RHP this season.

Opposing pitcher Aaron Civale is getting hit by lefties, yielding a .243 ISO, .375 wOBA, and a 57% hard-hit rate in 2025. Toronto is on the road, so they’re guaranteed a 9th-inning at-bat, which could prove to be critical in covering this number.

MLB Pick’em Play: Nick Kurtz

It took some time to find his footing, but Kurtz has been obliterating the baseball over the summer. He now owns a .314 ISO and 19% barrel rate vs. RHP, and he’ll be playing at the tiny Sutter Health Park tonight.

I like opposing rookie pitcher Didier Fuentes’ long-term upside, but he’s so young, and there might be a long period of growing pains.

It’s a small sample size so far, but he hasn’t figured out left-handed hitters at the MLB level, yielding a massive 39% fly-ball rate, with just a 7% strikeout rate against them. His leash is short, but then the A’s could get into some underwhelming long relief options that Atlanta has in the bullpen.

MLB Pick’em Play: Shota Imanaga

Imanaga is still trying to find his pre-injury form, and he’s really struggling vs. RHB. He’s striking out 27% of lefties, but just 16% of righties, and the underlying metrics, such as whiff rate, support that he has some figuring out to do.

It’s a tough draw for Ks for him in his current form, as Minnesota is projected to roll out nine RHB, and six of them are striking out 22% of the time or less against southpaws in 2025.

What is a Parlay?

A parlay is a type of sports bet where you combine multiple individual bets (called “legs”) into one single wager.

The kicker? All of your picks must win, but if they do, you’ll receive a big payday at great odds. However, if one of your picks doesn’t win, the wager is lost.

What is a Same Game Parlay?

A same game parlay (“SGP” for short) is a newer type of parlay where all your bets are from the same event.  Instead of betting on multiple different games, you’re combining different types of bets within one game.

For example, if you’re betting on football, you could bet on rushing, passing, and receiving props from either team. Just like a traditional parlay, all of your picks must win, or it’s a lost bet.

MLB Parlay & Same Game Parlay Tips

Check multiple sportsbooks for the best odds. It’s just like shopping, and each platform values the same bets differently.

It also helps to look for any correlation between picks. For baseball, if you like the hitters on team A, you’d likely also believe the pitcher on team B is in for a rough outing.

For football, if you think Patrick Mahomes is going to have a great game, one of his receivers would likely have to do the same.

Where to Play DFS Pick’em

Did you know you can combine player picks, which is very similar to parlays at traditional sportsbooks at Underdog and Sleeper?

Both platforms allow users to predict whether a player will score more (or higher than) or less (or lower than) their statistical projection. Underdog and Sleeper offer a wide range of sports to pick from, including fun, niche markets that traditional sportsbooks may not offer.

Users can pick between 2-8 projections on Sleeper for a chance to win up to 1000x their entry fee. Underdog is similar and also offers a fun format called “Streaks”, which allows users a chance at big money for 11 correct picks in a row after winning an initial 2-pick slip.
