The day’s MLB slate presents us with some solid options to target, including a late-night battle between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers. With today’s parlay picks, we’re focusing on players for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates, including Mitch Keller. While most of my action is just straight MLB player prop bets, I used our parlay builder to pick out a solid MLB parlay bet for a decent payday.

MLB Parlay Bet Today: Picks for Mitch Keller & More
Leg #1: Mitch Keller u5.5 Ks | MLB Parlay Bet Today
The undefeated Pittsburgh Pirates will visit the Washington Nationals today, and they’ll trot out their Opening Day starter, RHP Mitch Keller. Keller was okay last year, recording a 4.18 xERA (49th percentile) and a 25.5% strikeout rate (65th percentile), but he now takes on a Nationals team that ranked second in strikeouts taken per game (7.09) last year.
But our parlay builder is built based upon market-based, not projection-based reasoning, and it wants us to fade Keller today because of an odds disparity between the price available at FanDuel and those at the rest of the market.
You’ll find Keller trading for odds of -122 to stay under 5.5 strikeouts at FanDuel, but that number is all the way up at -140 on most other public books and is -146 at Pinnacle. Take advantage of the best number on the market before it disappears.
Leg #2: Tyler Glasnow u8.5 Ks
This Tyler Glasnow pick stands out as one of the best on the board today. You’ll find him trading at -150 at FanDuel to stay under 8.5 strikeouts, which isn’t a number you’ll find anywhere else. He’s trading at 7.5 strikeouts on most other books, including Pinnacle.
Pinnacle is taking action on the under 7.5 for Glasnow’s strikeouts at -115, which is the stingiest price on the market by far. While most public books have the under 7.5 in the plus money, FanDuel and BetMGM are the only ones offering the 8.5.
Glasnow is a solid pitcher, but nine strikeouts is a big ask, even for him. He has made two starts already this season and has a total of eight strikeouts. He beat the 8.5 in only five of his 21 starts last year.
