Best Parlay for Today, May 3 | DraftKings
Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics First Quarter Over 55.5 (+100)
The oddsmakers are offering even money for this bet, which is a great place to start. The first game in this series saw nearly 70 points scored in the first quarter, which is a good indication that both teams can score quickly. Although the game may slow down in the later quarters, it only needs to hit over 55.5 in the first quarter to win this bet. This pick has a 51% chance of hitting, which is slightly better than a coin flip and offers a slight edge over the market.
Shane Bieber Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-145)
Although Bieber has failed to surpass this number in his last four games and his strikeout rate is just 17.1%, the Yankees have a few batters who strike out often such as D.J. LeMahieu and Anthony Volpe. Even though this game is on the road for Bieber, it is still a solid pick. The oddsmakers are offering -145 for this bet, which is beating the market exponentially. Other sportsbooks have either bumped the strikeout number up to 5.5 or are charging more for the bet. This pick has a 56% chance of hitting.
Jonathan Marchessault Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-125)
Although this may seem like a risky bet, Marchessault has shown that he can hit this number when he has a center up front on one of their top lines playing the power play. Even though the series against the Oilers may be difficult for Vegas, Marchessault has the potential to hit this number in any game. The oddsmakers are offering -125 for this bet, which is a fair price. This pick has a 57% chance of hitting.
