To quote Billy Joel, “it’s 9 o clock on a Saturday” which means we have some late night, west coast baseball. While that is not the meaning behind “Piano Man” (as far as we know), it sure is relevant to us right now.
The three games that have a first pitch at 9:10pm ET or later are as follows:
- Kansas City Royals vs Los Angeles Dodgers.
- Pittsburgh Pirates vs Colorado Rockies
- Chicago White Sox vs Arizona Diamondbacks
Choosing 1 prop bet from each of these three games, we will build an exciting parlay to follow as you watch some late-night baseball. All odds are from DraftKings Sportsbook.
- Cavan Biggio 2+ Hits Against Kansas City (+475)
Biggio, the newest Dodger and son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, may have an opportunity to thrive playing for a team with a track record of success that Los Angeles has. Only playing more than 100 games once in his career, Biggio may be able to work his way into some regular playing time if he can get hot. The 29-year old lefty has 1 hit in 4 at bats against Seth Lugo and will look to add to that total tonight.
2. Both Teams (Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies) to Score 4+ Runs through 5 Innings (+550)
Betting for runs in Denver can be a rewarding experience, why not get started early? Pittsburgh’s Jared Jones has faced several current Rockies and has had overwhelming success against them (admittedly with a small sample size). That was then (it truly was just a month ago) but this is now (this game is in Colorado). Throw out the record books and let’s see what that summer air in high altitude will bring.
3. Joc Pederson Home Run Against the White Sox (+340)
The late game of the late games. Joc Pederson and Kyle Schwarber are in this category of powerful lefties that can hit one out at any given time. First pitch? Why not. Down 0-2 in the count? Never count them out. Joc has 10 Home Runs this season and is facing a weak White Sox pitching staff. To give credit where credit is due, the White Sox starter Erick Fedde, has been pretty good this year and has held Pederson hitless through 5 at bats. Regardless, like I said before, with power bats like Pederson, it is truly Any. Given. Time.
Placing these three prop bets together on DraftKings Sportsbook shoots out a parlay with odds of 151 to 1. Follow me in emptying out that 35 cents remaining in your account and see if we can make something of it.
